Please, stay off guard. As already said, it is the last line of defense when things are not going the way they usually do. Go talk to an FA or something if you can't keep yourself entertained in the cockpit
And there is a good chance you would not hear it anyway. A transmission from another aircraft could be well outside your reception range, but a base station in between could hear both. Or nothing if both transmit at the same time. An important message can be lost because some plonker will not shut up.
