I also had a cluster of small boys who'd clearly had some sort of sex ed lesson at school - but not a very good one. Because they were loudly showing off their new found knowledge about girl's anatomies and getting it so wrong that they had half the bus in stitches. It was even funnier because they were so convinced they were jack the lads and were spouting forth accordingly.

It really annoys me when you're sat on a bus & the young lad at the back of the bus likes to let everyone know what he's listening to by playing music at a high volume on his fone.........:mad:

Usually it's some sort of modern gangsta cr-ap that no one can stand for more than 5 seconds.

Many many years ago I was sat in an empty train carriage at Euston awaiting to go to Wales.
When a man decided to sit opposite me (empty carriage)
Then got out his - (putting this politely) - magazines of naked people 'joined' together
:eek::eek::eek::eek:

:mad: I had to move to another carriage

Not public transport but in a queue

They reach my till & carry on their mobile conversation. Whilst signalling to me as I am meant to mind read what they want.

Or they take a call half way through transaction & I have to listen & wait

Or from the other side - when I am being served - the Cashier, answers & deals with a phone inquiry
I was taught that the person in front of you is first, the person on the phone can call back
maybe I'm getting old & grumpy

I was sitting on the train recently when a man in the row next to mine decided to order a cab for his wife from the airport.

He proceeded to give his full name, address, bank account details, telephone number, email address and her full name.

I also found out he was a doctor and they were planning on going out to dinner that night. so empty house target as well.

I was tempted to take it all down and e-mail him to prove what a plank he was.

It's not always the way, though. I hate answering the phone when I'm serving a customer, but we have a "three ring" policy, someone has to answer the phone on the fourth ring, and if no one else does, I'm going to have to, even if I've got someone in front of me.

No, but AFAIK it's illegal in most, if not all, countries.

I don't see the issue with using a mobile phone to make a call on public transport, but agree that it should be done as quietly as possible.

Far worse are people who play music out loud through their phone or you can hear it through their headphones. To me music is personal taste and therefore I always think, you ignorant whatever, when someone is playing theirs out loud.

The worst one I ever experienced was listening to one end of a conversation on a train, where the poor guy four seats behind me was obviously getting dumped over the phone by his girlfriend. He went from angry to desperate begging and back to angry, hung up and called back several times. The whole thing was excruciating.

There used to be a really creepy bloke who used to get on my bus when I was younger. Greased back hair, late 60's, brown leather stained jacket. He would always go and sit next to a woman/girl sat by herself even if the bus was empty and would then proceed to talk at them about his bicycle and how his dog died. Every woman knew him and you could hear the collective sigh when he got on.

Looking back now, it was bloody creepy!
