AIBU to be astounded at people’s shamelessness?

take nail clippers next time, take off your shoes and socks and clip your nails, make sure the clippings go her direction, she'll soon move, if she askes you to stop make a deal, STFU and ill put the unions away.

YANBU and yes, shame would be the appropriate emotion that these inconsiderate bastards should be feeling.

There are so many under-socialised people about, who just haven’t been brought up properly, it seems. No consideration for others, and abusive if anybody has the temerity to ask them to think of the other people around them.

I’d like to see a campaign on public transport to make this socially unacceptable once again.

It’s unfortunate that bus companies can’t restrict that class of person from travel.

Should women have a free pass to piss everyone else off then?

Some of the conversations you hear are fascinating though.

I think to be honest, it’s as much a reflection of the modern world as being mildly irritated by something and then posting it on the Internet to ask strangers whether you’re justified in being irritated…

I dislike loud conversations in a foreign language because I cannot understand what they're saying, preventing me from eavesdropping. I usually ignore them or switch to a silent carriage.

YANBU to be annoyed at someone watching loud videos on the train but it sounds like the girl was doing tit for tat by playing it louder each time you asked. And from this follow up post it sounds like you’re quite passive aggressive. Tutting at someone because they put their feet up on the bus? I’m almost not surprised she gave you a defensive mouthful - instead of asking politely you judgementally tutted at her? Based on that I can probably imagine the tone and demeanour in which you asked the girl on the train to turn her videos down was probably the same and she tried to get one up on you.

I would flog them all publicly. And sign up for the job.
I curse litter louts. They are scum.

There are times when people should feel shame. When called out on poor behaviour is probably the number 1 example. So it's an apt description imo.
Not sure the sex of the person is relevant in this situation.

Some people are just selfish twats.
YANBU.

It went out the window at the precise moment you had to buy Apple ear buds as they made them the only compatible ones with iPhones. Drives me bonkers, so inconsiderate.

I’ve experienced the same and don’t know how people have the nerve to be so blatantly inconsiderate of others in contained spaces like buses and trains.

Even worse, this sense of entitlement extends to the perceived right to just drop litter anywhere. There’s a litter epidemic in much of the UK, despite there being more rubbish bins than ever before in my town at least. I do regular litter picks of my local area and it’s depressing to see how many people just drop their empty drinks bottles and other rubbish as they walk even if a bin is in sight.

Yes some people are really annoying and lack social skills.
I was at a small garden centre on Monday. Just people mooching round. One family ( literally stood out from the others) was just so loud, yelling inane comments to each other from different sections outside.

I couldn’t think of a suitable way to ask them to stop - it was just inappropriately loud bollocks.

On trains my DH usually jokes about joining in with whatever they are watching and then does.

It’s no wonder. Having read on the thread about the mum asking her son to come on a walk with her for 15 minutes and the majority of posters saying it’s outrageous to ask a teenager to do anything nice for someone else this is possibly one of the reasons that we are noticing this increase in entitled behaviour. no shame at all.

Stupid woman! It is back to no self awareness, I recently heard some on loudspeaker to DWP talking about a benefit claim and giving out personal details!

It does my head in. I have no idea how these moronic people can think it's ok to pollute the communal air with their digital drivel.

I am trying to train myself to zone out as I am clearly fighting City Hall on this one.

People don’t even think before being loud on trains and buses anymore.

Last time I got the train to London it was properly busy (it’s a Scotland-England train) and a woman paid for something over the phone by reading out her card details - she gave her name, full card number, code and expiry date and everyone in the carriage could hear her.

It's sounds almost as if you are suggesting that shame is specific to sexual behaviour or to expectations of women, but clearly that's not true. Shame is an important human emotion. It's a very unpleasant one to feel - that's why it's good at preventing us from doing bad and antisocial things. However, there are clearly behaviours which would once have been considered antisocial which are now accepted as normal, like the example in the OP.

Because they don’t give a shit. Society doesn’t really exist anymore. It’s just lots of individuals pissing people off.
