Phones on public transport
 

Do you feel comfy talking on the phone on the bus or do you wait until you're off?

I'm fine with it. i'm always on my phone when i'm on a bus, surfing the net and chatting on skype. :hugesmile:

yeah idc, I wouldn't spend ages on the phone though since it's annoying when others do it.

I don't really like the idea of people listening in to my conversation but I would do it if necessary.

Same, I have made calls that go... 'ETA 5 mins put kettle on' :joker:

I try not to, it's terribly tedious for other people. I try to use the quiet carriage when I can so I don't have to listen to thirty people take turns to say "I'm on the train".

I can't even remember the last time I used public transport

I don't see the problem

Nah I'd find it awkward, I'd not answer and call them back

only if its important and i keep it very short dont like people listening and i dont liek people talking utter rubbish

its great having a phone but phones have killed the art of conversation. you used to chat on a bus or get a smile of a girl walking.now everybody has their head buried in their phone. ignoring the real world around them. shame

I find it fine

i thought it would help vocablery - how wrong i was. this is a conversation i heard from a lady on the bus last night.

ring ring - HELLO - hiya - you alright ? yer like - so what you been doing like ? well been chilling today like. but bit tired like. what you up to ? i like that. thats nice like. wish i was doing it like. you see that nice guy like ? he is well fit like. yer like.


when i got off i said - I LIKE YOUR CONVERSATION. and she only replied - CHEERS LIKE.


moral of the story. phones maybe a great tool but if you have nothing to say - they defeat the object LIKE.

this

You told her waterhog

I would imagine that 99.9% of the calls are pointless and not needed

no, I hate people listening to me talk on the phone, I won't answer :laugh: I ring them back when I get off.

It's annoying when people TALK REALLY LOUDLY as well.

I don't do it personally, I hate when other people do it and I also feel like everybody is listening in to my conversation which I really don't like, even if it is just idle chit chat.

I'm on the bus, will be with you in 10.

I'm at Stratford be with you in 15 kind of thing, hate it.

Never. I hate it.

i suppose what makes it worse is the phone contracts that offer 500000000 million free mins to any country in the world.

public transport can be dangerous

i don't use public transport i'm classy

This ,to be honest,hate phones.

Will usually answer in a thick Mancunian accent with: "Hows it going our kid?" as loud as possible. Then proceed to discuss loudly the plans for the evening.

Nobody has ever looked at me or said a word :pipe:
