You could at least do it in the toilet you dirty b*****d.
That does at least account for the state of the seats. Usually mixed in with crushed biscuit.

A good chat passes the time... Many moons ago the trains were in chaos, and five luck people got a table (one was my daughter who was little enough to be on my knee). Given that we were all similarly disrupted, we did the British thing and had a good old chat.

I have seven films and six TV shows queued up on my ipod to watch, I think that will pass the time, without disturbing anyone.

At any point, do you realise that it's actually you who's unusual?

Most commuters want to relax quietly and not listen to someone else's conversation.

"ipod"? What is this? The naughties?
Kindle Fires were £30 FFS!

But yes, silence is golden.

But some like to chat. Can't live with it? Get in your car...

With the best will in the world - you're in public. Sorry.

You must all stop being social, I want to sit in stony silence. Humanity didn't get where it is through being social....

You're struggling with the concept of this thread aren't you! smile

ALL the annoying things are solved by isolating yourself in a car FFS!

1)People talking excitingly and loudly while they take up seemingly half the carriage with their luggage clearly getting some godforsaken early flight to some elcheapo resort on the first train of the morning. Shut the fk up will you! 99% of the train is trying to get some sleep and do not need to hear if you've remembered to bring the passports for the nth time.

2)bicycle wkers

3)running wkers. They clearly relish the idea of a run to the station in the morning forgetting that they are dripping in sweat and are starting to pong and I do not like your Lycra running pants touching me. But hey, that 5k run is important to you.

4)fat bds who don't stop eating on the entire journey. But hey, I'm sure it's a glandular problem.

5)Greater Anglia (who are just complete bds) who are completely unable to get a train to it's destination on time forcing me to get an earlier one just in case.

6)toilet wkers. The journey is less than an hour! How the fk do you manage to use it 2-3 times? Sit the fk down and hold it. Same on planes - as soon as the seatbelt sign goes off, there's a queue. What were you doing in the terminal you mongtards?

I'm sure there's more but I've only been commuting by train a few months and I'm already debating sticking my season ticket up someone's arse and going back to driving in.

A good book passes the time better I find.

Doesn't inflict inane conversation on the surrounding area either.

(I'm the grumpy one. Aisle seat. Quiet Carriage)

Although I do recall being on a train to Edinburgh, five minutes from the station, deciding I wasn't in a rush so I'd wait until I was off the train. Then I discovered I needed 20p change which I didn't have to use the station toilet, but the one on the train was free.

Nothing wrong with conversation if its not too loud and people are actually sat next to each other. On the other hand, when 2 blokes are sat on the 6.50am Euston bound train, on opposite sides of the aisle and talking loudly to each other, THAT's out of order and antisocial.

Alternatively, I find a relaxation app with music or surf noises on noise cancelling headphones work a treat.
