Plan for dealing with obnoxious phone calls on trains?
I have a proposal for dealing with (punishing) people who make loud
business phone calls on trains (or any other public transport). ("I'm on the train ... buy! ... sell!") Record the calls or make some note, especially if there's anything that sounds confidential, and publish transcripts or summaries on the web or a newsgroup. Comments? Suggestions? Does a site or newsgroup already exist for this? |

I travel in the quiet zone and if someone is on the phone and they give out their number I call them back later in the day to remind them of their error and point out that they were careless in giving out such information in the quiet zone. I don't wait to listen to their excuses, four letter words or threats - but then hang-up. CLI never withheld from my disposable PAYG handset! |

Carry a cassette/cd player loaded with load pub sound effects - music, drunken voices, glasses clinking - and play it when they say 'I'm on the train'? |

Evil, good but evil.
Now can you come up with a way to deal with screaming brats and larger louts. |

I must say, I'm impressed by the way that three different people made substantively the same comment so close together -- James Farrar . @gmail.com |

Not sure about "larger louts" (seems a bit fattist to me) but screaming
brats, or "children" as we call them, have as much right to be on a train as you do (assuming they are not in the quiet carriage). With the best will in the world, children sometimes make loud unexpected noises and even responsible parents cannot - and indeed should not - expect them to remain mute on a long train journey. wrote: Evil, good but evil.
