to get back at the two people next to me who have sat bellowing into their phones (including one on speaker) for the last 30 minutes?

It's a YABU from me, sorry!

bitachey · 23/09/2022 19:58

Do it. Eat curry. Eat a big fat stinky kipper. Eat whatever the fuck you want... misophonia sufferer here and I REFUSE to get on a train without headphones because of one vile food and one only.

Crisps.

DEFO DO IT. See if you can force out a couple of smelly farts too. Grin

bitachey · 23/09/2022 19:59

Just to clarify it’s not a commuter train but an intercity

YABU!

If course you can. They’re quite normal foods!

Bryonny84 · 23/09/2022 20:00

Eat what you want! Everyone else does, talks loudly, lets their kids scream their heads off and run up and down the carriage, have rows, get drunk, fall asleep on you etc etc. I hate travelling by train!

Assuming it's not just the three of you in the carriage (in which case if the train was quiet you'd have moved), everyone else now has a true assault on the senses: loud phone conversations and tuna stinking up the carriage.

oh It’s got onion in it too. Delicious! Salad Nicoise from Pret no less

There’s actually only three in the near vicinity apart from a guy with a face mask on

Someone ate an entire boxed takeaway pizza opposite me the other day on the train. Was jealous as it smelt nice but listening to him eat was gross

bitachey · 23/09/2022 20:02

Oh I hate eating noises. I am a silent eater!

Yabu, that smell will linger for hours. You’re worse than the phone-wankers.

bitachey · 23/09/2022 20:04

I’m actually closing the lid in between bites.

maybe Pret shouldn’t be allowed to sell smelly salads in train stations! I just grabbed the first option not thinking about the smell.

I treated myself to first class too and it’s still got noisy people. These people were on the speaker on their phone to their lawyer about some property sale - you could hear the lawyer typing away full blast over the phone. Bonkers. They looked surprised when I asked them to turn it down a bit.
