Two of the coworkers I sit near are always talking about personal stuff like sexual preferences, their marriages etc, which I kind of wish I wasn't able to hear so clearly... and I don't know if I should tell them to lower their volume because I'm privy to some of their conversation or just let it be. I feel I would make them super conscious if I do, but it also feels wrong to hear it all and not say anything. What would you do?

Haha I would just consider it free entertainment for days I need some drama in my life and let it be. Wear headphones and listen to some white/pink noise when you need to zone them out.
