if you do, stop it. I can hear your whole conversation and it is stupid.

what i dislike the most about mobile phone users are the people who insist in using a train journey as an extension of their office.
i was on one recently where this woman would not shut up about whatever the day's business was.. at 9.30pm.
"yeah so get charlotte to schedule a breakfast meeting with the slough team. we need 1000 photocopies of the strategic plan by 5am hand-delivered by munchkins to the fleet street office. fire balthazar, he's just not pulling his weight. what do you mean someone has filled the water cooler with cherry 7up?" etc etc etc.
non-stop yapping about her office. after 40 or so minutes some guy actually shouted SHUUUTTT UPPPPPPPP from the other side of the carriage. what a hero.

that's awesome.
I'm pretty sure that if I have to answer one more stupid question today that my head is going to explode.
now there are 4 women in here just hanging around having a conversation. this is a very small shop. okay, now they want to buy a poster...fucking stupid awesome poster that we carry now that every retard and their aunt wants to buy. and despite having a sign in the window with the price and every version displayed, people come in and ask, "how much?", "what color does it come in?".
they bought the poster and one of the women came behind the counter and started fiddling with her purse right by where I needed to write up the transaction. I didn't ask her to move, I just kind of sighed and found another calculator and invoice pad. seriously, who goes behind the counter?
OH MY GOD IDIOT AFTER IDIOT KEEPS WALKING IN HERE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I hate tourists so much.

I was having a smoke before going through to the platform to get my train to London yesterday and this angry man was pacing up and down outside going 'FUUUUUCKKK I'VE MISSED MY TRAIN!!!!!!!!......FUCKING TRAINS HAVE FUCKED ME AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!........I CAN'T GET HOME!!!!!!!! FUCK!!!!!!"
this sort of panicking went on for a few more minutes and me and my friend were loving it.
eventually we hear 'AHHHHH THANKS MUM!!!!!!!! I'll PAY YOU BACK......SWEET....YEAH...LOVE YOU MUM..THANKS"
I didn't notice why he was so upset but my friend did as he pointed to the TAG on his leg.

I was just wondering do you guy feel irritated easily? Just an honest question cause I really do see many rants in this message board which isnt new but yeah... I never really asked that question here.

I was walking behind this idiot last week who was on his mobile, talking loudly to his business partner (or something similar) about a valuation on a property of theirs that he wasn't happy with. He thought that because he'd paid for the service, the valuation should be what he believed the property to be worth and he went on and on and on swearing and generally being very rude about it.
This probably isn't annoying to most people, but my ex worked in valuations and clients like him used to piss him off. I guess it rubbed off onto me.

I guess if someone was cursing loudly and being disrespectful to someone over the phone thats what would I call disturbance as in annoyance anything else isnt really doing anything negative.

maybe thats the reason why mp3 players got made for so you dont have to listen to annoying phone conversations
phone conversations would be more interesting if there was more mafia around here

If it weren't for my iPod many, many people I work with would be dead.

A similar thing happened to me once on the bus once.
This woman was talking work, and complained about having to travel by bus cause her car had broken down, and she kept going on and on!
When I stepped out of the bus I told her "You don't seem to travel much with public transportation as you don't know the manners about mobile use."
(there was a while when they (SL) put up signs on the subway trains where loud talking on mobiles in some coaches was forbidden,
pity some people didnt' understand what those signs ment...).
I could see the reliefed faces of my fellow passengers...

I was at border's a couple of weeks ago and this old lady had her phone on speaker so you could hear the entire conversation.....who the fuck does that? No one gives a shit about you or your conversation.

my boss loves to start his phone calls on speaker phone very loudly, and when the other line is busy, he just lets it beep for a couple minutes as if they will just magically pick up. so several times a day i hear this annoying sound that he doesnt seem to understand
