YABU

I would find that fascinating.

Lunastarfish · 27/08/2014 18:36

I may video myself doing it!

My adult son would find that fascinating too. It could easily have been him talking on that train. You're being unreasonable and unkind.

I'm on a train out of clapham sandwiched next to a woman with massively offensively cheap, over-powering perfume. I hate commuter trains

YANBU. If you have such a mind-numbingly boring hobby as that, you should talk quietly. I like doing cross stitch but wouldn't dream of boring others with it

Ybvu

What harm arebthey actually doing, your choosing to listen.

Personally I like seeing people get joy out of small things.

InSpaceNooneCanHearYouScream · 27/08/2014 20:25

But how can you get joy out of Clapham Junction though? Hmm

ArsenicyOldFace · 27/08/2014 20:29

YABU. It's as good a thing to do crawling out of Clapham Junction as any, at least they aren't rowing Smile

Now OP, what if they're secretly plotting to throw the frothing, glaring, manic-eyed woman who is punching messages into an inanimate screen, out of the window...?

I guess we won't get to hear about it... you'll be no more and they will get back to their Clapham Junction reminiscences... Grin

InSpace... I do too. Do you actually finish yours? Envy... I have SO many started projects. I'm now reverting back to 'kiddie' ones that are smaller, fewer stiches and good for women with short attention spans... Blush

LiberalLibertines · 27/08/2014 20:31

At least they're not eating a stinking kebab with chilli sauce.

InSpaceNooneCanHearYouScream · 27/08/2014 20:33

lying erm... Yes,well....I TRY to finish them....I really do...Angry

I just had the bus journey from hell. Three office bod women sat behind us with really shrill voices. Obviously excited about something at work. Yes it was a bit grating but not quite so bad as my mother loudly saying how terrible it was how they were cows and mimicking them. My mother is 77 i just sat and looked at my shoes.

Invest in headphones and something to play music on OP. Sometimes people watching and listening is fun, headphones are for when it's not.

Gunznroses · 27/08/2014 22:05

Am I the only one who can still hear peoples music through their headphones? Hmm
