Mobiles on public transport (was Radio on the Tube)
Thus spake Andrew Black
Helen Deborah Vecht wrote in : There are some 'quiet' coaches on trains. Thing is mobile phones are useful whilst on PT, especially if there's a delay. Phones can be tamed so that they don't disturb other passengers much. I really don't think my sending text messages disturbs anybody. I have no problem with short phone calls ("sorry I am going to be half an hour late"). It's the long babble that annoys me (".... I saw Darren yesterday..... He is going out with Tracey ....."). This also annoys me but I'm not entirely innocent. Some tariffs seem to encourage mindless babble, especially at off-peak times. I recknon people talk louder on mobile phones than on landline phones. I think they may speak a little louder; more to the point they do not seek the quiet & seclusion customary with landline calls. -- Helen D. Vecht: Edgware. |
