AIBU to wreak a slow and painful revenge on...

[PurplePidjin]

Whichever fucker in this train carriage has let their child loose on several hundred pounds worth of portable electrical entertainment equipment

AND NOT PROVIDED ANY HEADPHONES

I'm currently being subjected to Abba. I'd go and say something but I'm terrified they'll up the stakes and make it Justin Beaver or Jedward

I would just go and stand right next to them and start singing along really loudly.

Poor aul Pidj.

Let's hope they don't like Carly Rae Jepson.

Have you perfected your look of death att he parents?

get up and start bopping. They will be mortified and shut it off.

oooh, I love a bit of ABBA [unhelpful]

Nooby, then I'd have to admit to knowing the words!

Who the fuck is Carly Rae Jepson? Or is that a question I should ask my friendly local teenagers? The parents would be marble statues by now if it weren't for the high backed seats

Bopping would result in my fat arse sending the elderly gent across the aisle's glasses flying. Not pretty...

I had this on a 2 hour train journey too. As well as constantly kicking my seat. The mother wasn't a bit bothered and was also doing the 'loud parenting' thing. There should be a family carriage where all these precious little darlings can sit.

What I don't understand is, how is this less irritating for the parent than having a conversation with the poor kid?

I would far rather listen to that than the inane disney drivel now being inflicted on us

It's Abba, I just couldn't complain . However, had it been some kind of gangsta rap I would be out of my mind . Now that's just noise!

It was Disney crap I was subjected to, at full volume, with added loud commentary from the mother 'OOOOH LOOK AT THE BUNNIES!'

Oh I feel for you, - I was stuck on a train once with a boy who had been all ipodded up by his parents and kitted out with headphones, - but he insisted on singing all the songs out loud at the top of his voice. Dear God that was a long journey.

Glad I'm not BU! Let's see how I fare on the return trip...

Could be uncensored eminem. Think of the swearing.

Start screaming. That'll make them move carriages - and quite a few other people too.

I had this once. Dora the Explorer non-stop on a journey from Penzance to London whilst the mother buried her head in a magazine. I was pre MN less assertive in those days so I gritted my teeth and said nothing.
