Why do people feel the need to talk loudly on public transport?

Did I really need to know that your last boyfriend was crap in bed, and that you can’t cook worth a damn?

Why do these same imbeciles insist on having a three hour phone conversation on their cell phones? Loudly?

Did I really need to know what you’re doing on Friday night, and who you’re doing it with?

Why do other people insist on having a groping session in a public place? Get a fucking room, for fucks sake.

Right, I’m off to bed, I’ve had the day from hell, and I need a stiff drink.

    Public transportation is the pits. I remember when I worked in the city I took the train because parking in any city is a nightmare and costs the Earth. I remember some guy fell asleep and rested his head on my shoulder and then had the nerve to get upset when I pushed him away. Ew.

    Wow! This happens to me in the bookstore and frequently when we eat out. We always seem to get seated next to the loudest mouth in the restaurant.

    Public bathrooms. Please don’t shout at one another from stall to stall. And please for the love of Little Mary’s Lamb, don’t talk on your cell phone in a public bathroom. It is 87 different kinds of rude and tacky.

    I feel your pain. I have 3 hours of public transport travel every day. Some days it is okay, but others…oh my goodness…shut up people!

    I sat in front of a woman on a bus a couple of months ago who discussed very loudly with her companion how large her 13 year old son’s penis was. I can’t imagine the circumstances when that’s ever an appropriate conversation but especially not on a public bus.
