to find students who do " work" on trains annoying

[NotCod]

we KNWO they arent really working

they are pissing baout underlining a book they dont even understand

Quite often the only opportunity I get to look at my textbooks is when I am sat on the peasant wagon bus into University.

Most people would be unimpressed with nursing textbooks anyway.

lol Fabio

Yes they have to shout, not talk

he said...'do you not want to talk?'

long silence, then 'are you with someone, I don't care if you are, it's not my business'

longer silence then' are you MASTURBATING?'

me and my dds looked at each other than giggled

its all for show all of it

fabio was he not suprised to see a small balck and whit e kitten smokgin a cheroot wathicng hm?>

No Emma.
Get out the textbook for VD.
See how many people are looking worriedly over your shoulder and scratching

for I, in my yoof, was guilty....

....as a University student in the 80s (well. Pompey Poly. Let us not make it sound too grand...) I was in the habit of "reading" Sylvia Plath as ostentatiously as possible.

...on trains, buses, the student union....

Sadly, I fear the air of sensitive gravitas that I was attempting to convey was undermined by the failed Bunnymen barnet, pizza-esque acne and poor personal hygiene.

what a good idea Fabio.

I may get as many controversial books out as possible (with large colour pics if poss)now and do my own little study on how many raised eyebrows I get. Rotting VD infected knobs etc.

Ahh but if on a long journey you get out the anatomy book with colourful x-section of male genitals you get the table all to yourself and do not have to fend off men with graphic novels and questionable personal washing habits. I have an invisible strange man magnet on my head and need all the protection I can get.

Art students ponce about with their (empty) portfolios and long overcoats.

agree agree agree, when i was a student i thought i was the bees, would get my pooter studies book out on trains and pretend to read it, what a wanker i was back then

YABU!!!! I am a mature student and have to study where I can. Today I was reading a mahoosive book on neuroscience and occupational therapy. Not to be poncy but because the minute I get in DS will be mum mum mum mum mum muming at me and I won't be able to hear myself think, let alone have time to read!

some folks is dyslexic

or likes colouring in.

I've never understood the benefit of highlighting and underlining passages in books. I don't like defacing books, anyway.

People reading on the train at least gives you some judging people-watching opportunities. Braying business people with their endless phone calls and stuff on the table are far more annoying, especially if you get stuck with three of them having a "meeting" on a long journey.

hmm...I underline things in articles that I printed out, when preparng to write an essay forinstance....find it helps me to remember important bits I want to include or think about, etc...
I wouldn't do it in books....I suppose....

I've been given year schedules this week so yes, I have been taking an hour of my life back by using the time on the train to note it all down in my diary and to revise a little of what I've just learned while it's fresh in my mind. YANBU :-P

Students who don't study are far worse! I'm thinking of 2 in particular I encounter every couple of weeks, who get on (thankfully at the stop before I get off), sit next to each other in front of me, and place very loud calls to let their boyfriends know they're "on the train" AT THE SAME TIME so all you can hear is a racket of "blah blah jibber jabber" on a carriage in which everyone else has managed to be quiet for the whole of the hour before

do students still say that 'We're in the top 10% of the country' bollocks?

YABU
When I did an OU course last year I got most of my studying done on the 2 hr train journey to the seminars. It never entered my head that my quiet study might annoy someone.

I used to go and hang about in the big library in Manchester when I was doing my A-levels, purely to do ostentatious note-taking. And to pick up boys, of course.

Judging by your appalling spelling Cod, you'd have done well to actually been a student yourself. Reverse snobbery and jealousy.. fab!

lol @ op

yabu...it is a student's duty to pose on train with book or even better- to sit on rucksack in trainstain reading book

trainstain?
train station
