Two men, one 20s other indeterminate age 50ish, could have had a hard paper round, got on my bus, every other word F. Older guy wants plenty of legroom to "stretch the fuckers". They're just legs fgs. He's got phone wallpaper that says "I identify as a cunt". I think they're pointless.

Yep. These people are everywhere. I imagine those defending it as "their class and culture" don't come from whatever class they imagine that is! I grew up on a council estate in a deprived part of NW England, and in my class and culture we have a few words to describe people who behave like that... (most of which I'm told the middle classes find "problematic" so I won't repeat here.)

They are enjoying themselves and using the natural dialect of their class and culture, not bothering you, keep your sticky beak on your own biz

Oh stop with the snobbery. There are plenty of people of all classes who are able to express themselves without relentless profanity. And who are respectful enough to other people not to be relentlessly swearing around other people.

This is not Scotland nor Ireland. It's Redditch.

Well, there's your problem!

The passive aggressive answer!

Last night about 8 it was very busy and there was a guy playing loud death metal on his phone which was blaring out and getting on people's nerves. No headphones or anything. Nobody said anything. Then a woman got on and had to sit next to him, got her phone out and started playing noises of cats screeching and yowling VERY VERY LOUDLY.

Nobody challenged her either. The man was a bit scruffy and about in his 50s, the woman looked in her 40s or thereabouts.
