Different folks have different discomfort levels. I would probably be uncomfortable if I were made an involuntary eavesdropper to someone's crass conversation with some friends. (Assuming that "crass" is a euphemism for pungent speech and/or subject matter that's a little TMI for some tastes.) And I certainly wouldn't want any child of my acquaintance -- or me either, for that matter -- to be around for some games of Quizzo.
