Our seats were opposite a charming Japanese family, Mum, Dad and two gorgeous kids.<BR/><BR/>Seven hours later we had witnessed Dad going through every single contact on his mobile phone, his iPod, and whatever other electronic gadget he had on him which needed programming (accompanied by a bleep for each action), Mum texting her entire bleeping address book, both kids playing every noisy game known to Nintendo and all four of them taking it in turns to take multiple photos of each other, from all angles, with lots of flashing and whirring. The only thing they didn't do was make or take any phone calls, so strictly speaking they weren't breaking any rules. But what a bloody racket.<BR/><BR/>Thank goodness for gin and tranquilisers, or I'd have made sushi of the lot of them.Swearing Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07277450057243928790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036713826639353991.post-77428831663757082752009-02-19T22:08:00.000+01:002009-02-19T22:08:00.000+01:00Aims, I remember the post about the concert girl. ...Aims, I remember the post about the concert girl.

SEEM ...I don't care if you're an old man... ummm... SEEM like an old man. ;-r I'm glad you can do this and pull it off and people actually act embarrassed. (I would be one of the ones mouthing "thank you.") One of my pet peeves (and I have many) are people who are loud in public. I feel like they WANT other people to hear them. They want attention. It is so against my nature to seek attention that is makes me crazy. However, my experiences of asking for more polite behavior have not been met well. Maybe because I'm not nice enough or maybe because Americans tend to be less polite and feel more entitlements to whatever suits them than the people you deal with, but I have stopped asking for polite behavior in public. I just sit and get irritated, which just makes me mad and molds me more into a person not like those I disdain.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00984115229811752666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036713826639353991.post-84491405736319299472009-02-19T17:06:00.000+01:002009-02-19T17:06:00.000+01:00I promise to whisper all weekend long!I promise to whisper all weekend long!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036713826639353991.post-87232174737444154732009-02-19T17:05:00.000+01:002009-02-19T17:05:00.000+01:00Oh well I tend to not use my phone or ipod on publ...Oh well I tend to not use my phone or ipod on public transport.<BR/><BR/>I sometimes think I should sing along to someone elses Ipod and see if I get a reactionHenry North London 2.0https://www.blogger.com/profile/14748991488145468593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036713826639353991.post-69156818774874230072009-02-19T14:33:00.000+01:002009-02-19T14:33:00.000+01:00Marjolein, anyone before 8am is annoying, but espe...Marjolein, anyone before 8am is annoying, but especially those telling you how to live your life....I'm surprised they don't get punched!travelling, but not in lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01063643541653145954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036713826639353991.post-49533433667930297592009-02-19T14:22:00.000+01:002009-02-19T14:22:00.000+01:00Exactly.
