Dont ask me why they do it..but they do
okay, that sort of thing I don't agree with.
If communication is bad and one of us has to go "WHHHAAATT???" more than once, I'm just like, "dude, this is not worth it. Just send me a text message"
Funny is when a fat lady walks around while someone plays the tuba. Once you've seen that, you'll never laugh at anything else. Except maybe a skeleton dancing around while someone plays the xylophone, which is almost exactly the opposite of a fat lady walking around while someone plays the tuba. Well, a skeleton is the opposite of a fat lady. But is a xylophone the opposite of a tuba? History will decide.

OMG...it's a TRAIN GH......listening to a person through a speaker the size of a friggin dime is hard to do....even when it's quiet let alone when you are on a train. When the person is right next to you, you can make out words by reading their lips...and the normal volume of a persons voice is at a much differnet pitch than the train noise, so it's easier to hear and to distinguish. Not so on a phone....besides, the train is a TRAIN...it aint no rest home...so wake the hell up.
The only thing I really hate about cell phones is some of the stupid ring tones people put on them. Especially the more festive people...the first time or two hearing someone's cell phone ring to the tone of "all I want for christmas" is cute but after the millionth time you want to smash their friggin phone.

I use mine mostly to talk to the better half or to notify home when I'm due if I'm coming back from the wilderness. When I'm alone with the better half, unless I'm expecting an important (re: employment related) call, it goes off.
People who talk loud on them on the train annoy me too. I have muttering into the phone down to a fine art- they all have very sensitive microphones, there's no need to yell.
Biggest peeve though is people who socialise on them whilst you're supposed to be socialising with them. Thankfully, I keep my interaction with those kind of people to a minimum, most of my friends are a little more sensible than that.
I don't like people talking on the phone in public either. I will only use it when I have to like meeting up with someone, finding out who is going to be late or never going to show up. It's a good useful device if you use in a right way. And yeah, what's with those people talking so loud about their private lives??? I mean, thanks for sharing but that was wayyyyyy too much info. Ever got this ugly chick talking about her sex life?? and your imagination went wild... and that was definitly something you don't want to think about...

this is not a normal subway where you are on for like 10-20 minutes...my train lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes...and most people who work try to get some sleep.
But you always have that jerk who insists on talking on the train constantly.
Personally if they banned cell phones on the train I would be more then happy.
I agree with ya somewhat GH.....in my view, it's not the cell phones themselves, it's how people use them in a "Look at me" fashion. They're under the false impression talking in public places must make them look cool or something. Some are annoying as heck, I mean...yacking away while standing in line at the grocery store, stuff like that? Comon, get a social clue.
Or the person who simply cannot drive properly while talking on the phone. Granted some of us drive a lot for our jobs, and need to talk while in the car...but get a brain and use a handsfree set. And even then...some still aren't safe, guess they can't multitask..you'll see them start yacking on the phone...driving in the left lane...slowing down to 40mph on the highway and straddling lanes because they can't talk and safely drive at the same time. Sometimes I dream of rigging up some telephone pole launcher underneath the bumper of my car, or a giant fly swatter to smack them out of the way.
