What are we going to do about mobile phones in public?

[ExcitableWoof]

Look at us getting as Daily Mail as we are ever going to get about young people.

Do not associate me with that rag! They wouldn’t want to know about the incident unless the lad was brown, or the train was delayed because an immigrant was on the tracks, or the music was BANGHRA or something

how do you think the situation would have gone if he had started blasting out Anna Book instead of drum n bass

 

[OutSynk]

Oh I remember one time on a bus some prick was sitting next to me playing some dumb shit loud on his phone. I didn't say anything but I did pull a couple of annoyed faces which he noticed and got angry at ME. I think he wanted to beat me up too! I can't remember anymore for sure but he was probably Russian too so that would explain a lot.

to be fair, I think I probably would have texted you and @Penelope

Yes - I do need to remember that i'm getting towards the age where I am going to be perceived as Karen rather than fellow yout

I had a man in his 50s get mad at me the other day for this! Like I’m sorry you’re so addicted to your BABY VIDEOS you physically can’t go 20 minutes without them!

 

[Lucille]

Did this to a girl in her twenties and she shut up immediately, then an 8 year old girl got on and started blasting videos and the whole carriage was looking at me like GO ON TELL HER AS WELL!

It’s a THRILL when it works but mostly I just feel IMMENSE GUILT for the rest of the journey.

If only she was on a bouncy castle, we would have known EXACTLY what to call her.

Have we brought back hanging yet?

They probably expected you to speak to the parent. I feel like with kids its even harder because we don’t hold them to as high standards as adults, they’re likely addicted to screens and it is probably quite normal for them not to have headphones.

These cunts don’t realise they can only listen to their dirge doomscrolling without interruption because everyone else isn't broadcasting their shit algorithms to the world.

I wish

Give it one more party conference season.

I have no doubt it’s in Restore’s secret manifesto (co written by Bannon and Musk) for when they take power in 2029

I think if Labour announced their making playing music/videos on public transport illegal they’d poll over 50%.

It’s the kind of COMMON SENSE politics Andy Burnham thrives on that I’m shocked it hasn’t happened already.
