Should be unceremoniously kicked off the bloody train. AIBU? (At a station obviously! I'm not suggesting we kill them 😆)
On my way to a job interview. Train just stops outside station. Driver makes an announcement but NOBODY in my area of the carriage can hear what he's saying because theres a selfish woman speaking LOUDLY on her phone the whole time. So nobody has any idea if we're likely stuck for 2 minutes or 30.
Aagh how can anyone be so selfish and oblivious?

A few weeks back there was a guy on the station platform having a very loud conversation about how well he was performing in his [yadda yadda some corporate bullshit].

Very clearly for the benefit of other commuters so we were fully aware of what auspicious company we were in.

Then there was was a platform change announcement. But Mr Big Shot didn't hear it because of his little phone performance and so missed the train. It was hilarious and served him right. Cunt.

So frustrating. I have been in this situation with a regular commuter. I even knew when her smear test was 🙄 She was an awful person too who actively shoved past me when my arm was clearly in plaster

I would kick them off regardless of announcements.

We need to be more like Japan.
