People who talk banal shite on their phones on the train.... AARRGGHH...

[ssd]

Am sat beside a guy just now, flirting with a woman on his phone, seriously talking some, amount of shite.
If I killed him would anyone give me an alabi?

Hate it too

I don’t get the people who go:

‘I’m on the train. Yeah, the train, so I might cut out. Hello? Hello? Heeee-llloooo??? Hello? Hell-oooh??’

At the tops of their voices. As if yelling ‘hello’ will magically re-establish their signal...

By DH works out my itinerary when I’m on business trips, with the sole purpose of guessing when I will be on a train and then ringing me to ask (dropped in casually) where are you? In the hope of getting me to say ’im on the train‘

I fell for it the first couple of times, and he is getting ever more inventive 🤣

I’m this person recently - I have been calling my grandmother every morning on the train as she lives in another country +7-8 hours ahead. She’s dying and can’t remember much anymore and me being in this county means I won’t get to see her before she goes so I (selfishly) try to talk to her everyday, at the same time, to try and get as much phone time in as I can. I am really sorry for the people who I have annoyed.

Yanbu. I got the train from Aberdeen to London (7 hours) in the quiet coach and had to listen to some loud young man bragging about his job/love conquests etc for a while until he realised i was doing a "teacher" glare at him and moved! Ah bliss for myself and the mostly elderly quiet people.
I was reading A Company of Liars and in a good bit and i quite wanted to kill him.

I think some of them genuinely can’t sit in silence for however long their commute is, they need to call someone and chat shit to occupy them.

A few years ago I got a coach from London to Norfolk and the bloke behind me had been at the ideal home show. I know this because he proceeded to call everyone in his phone book and repeat the same inane anecdotes about his day over and over again to each person. When he could sense them wanting to hang up he would ask them tedious questions about what they had for dinner and what they were watching on tv. For the whole 3 hour journey. I was driven round the bend!!

A work colleague was sitting near an obnoxiously loud businessman making wanky calls on a train. It went on for a long time. During the course of all the phone calls he could ascertain his name, his number and the time/datevenue of one of his future appointments. A day later my colleague rang the business where he was due in the future and cancelled the appointment! My colleague is normally mild mannered. He was so incensed at having to listen to all his calls for hours he decided to wreak a bit of havoc!

Does remind me of this

@triangularRatbag, funny, but then she knows his no. 😬

Half way through my morning commute, the mobile signal cuts out for about two stops. I rub my hands with glee every time some irritating loudmouth starts up a banal conversation the stop before!

I'll give you an alibi , I nearly did it the other day. There was a woman who made numerous work calls, she was obviously VERY IMPORTANT

I love overhearing conversations. I'm nosy and judgy.

I call my mum the same time every day. She has a brain injury and we go through her day with her nurses and me on the phone. I ha e to remind her I’m her daughter, that she even has one, but I do this every day the same time doesn’t matter where I am. And I really don’t care what other people think or overhear about it.

I used to hear people having arguments when travelling at 5.40 then realised what you expect calling people at that time.

There is a new bred the facetime hands free who want everyone to know Thier conversation, piss off years.

@triangularRatbag, funny, but then she knows his no. 😬

No, no, you obviously block her seeing your number before texting. @triangularRatbag, that’s just BRILLIANT!!

I’m booked on a train for Christmas, quiet coach, I’m already dreading having to politely glare at people who have loud conversations. Last time, this bloke was talking non-stop, it drove me mad, I could hear him over my music.

No, no, you obviously block her seeing your number before texting. @triangularRatbag*, that’s just BRILLIANT!!

How do you so this? Asking for a friend.

I don't know how people do it. I have a thing where I hate anyone listening to me on the phone even at home. Maybe that's the other extreme.

To be honest I hate anyone blagging on about inane crap even at work. Had to endure a 20 minute blag this morning about my colleagues car issues. It was so loud. Why are people so loud?

How do you so this? Asking for a friend.

Pmsl, @refraction!😂 Depends on your phone, google is your friend. It’s handy if I can’t be arsed to go to the office phone down the corridor when I’m phoning parents.

Is it ?
