because whatever is on the other end of that overflow pipe is overflowing
When air is cooled the water in it comes out (like mist forming on the outside of a class filled with cold coke) and this happens in the air conditioner. Normally the dripping water is drained way to the outside (or a drain) by a pipe. If the pipe gets blocked the water will overflow and the conditioner will leak water - get it serviced.
It has to drain the condensate buildup somewhere... Some drain directly into the homes plumbing and only drain outside the home when the inside line has plugged up, like an overflow pipe.
It means that the tube is clogged. You need to clean it out or eventually you will have a leak of the water that is backing up in the system.

Extend the overflow pipe underground to a point where it is above ground.
To drain the over flow from a tank or fixture
when your engine is hot it causes the water to boil and the water and the anti freeze will come out of the overflow pipe.
It kills the bacteria slime that clogs the overflow pipe. If the pipe clogs up the water fills up the drain pain. when it reaches a certain level it shuts the air conditioning down.
Many washbasins have an opeing in them to prevent overflow. The opening usually leads to a pipe hidden in the pedestal that carries the overflow to the wastewater line, which prevents the overflow from spilling out onto the floor of the washroom.
