People Who Use Laptops on Trains

Tough crowd.

I take a commuter bus into work each day, and here are my public transportation pet peeves:

• Fuckers who play their music too loud with shitty headphones so all you hear is the high frequencies
• Fuckers who watch videos on their phones without headphones
• Fuckers who let their stupid-ass ringtones cycle as they fumble lazily for their phone
• Fuckers who talk loudly on their phones
• Fuckers who put people on speakerphone (yes, really)
• Fuckers who sit in the outside seat, hoping nobody will sit beside them (I purposely make them get up or shift over)
• (Male) Fuckers who sit with their legs spread wide, bumping their knees against my leg (your shit ain't that big, bro - get over it)
• Fat people who come down the aisle, their bags and shit hitting you (if you're lucky), or their fat arse/leg bumping into you (if you're unlucky)
• Fuckers who don't queue up for the bus and instead stand under the shelter and then casually walk up to the bus, cutting the queue
• Fuckers who don't wait until the rows in front of them disembark, getting up and pushing their way through
• Fuckers that bring too much shit with them - drive in, FFS if you're going to bring your standing desk to work that day
• Fuckers that eat on the bus, or worse, bring smelly foods left over from their lunch or breakfast (n.b.: there is no eating on the bus, big fucking sign in plain sight lets everyone know that
• Fuckers that come on the bus sick (yeah, we all get sick sometime - well, I don't, but that's neither here nor there) and cough and sniffle
• Fuckers who lean their chairs back all the way (there is really not that much room to do this, and I end up either staring into the person's hair (which can be a terrifying experience if their hygiene is not the best)
• Women who decide to roll out the Revlon dashboard and do their makeup and primping on the way in
• Fuckers who wear way too much cologne/perfume (and it's almost always bad smelling; at least buy the good shit)
• Fuckers you catch looking at what you're doing on your phone (time to get that privacy screen protector)

Keep in mind this is supposed to be a commuter bus, mostly filled with "professionals". Goddamn.

 

lol you are one uptight fucker

 

I'll stare at your phone the entire trip, use it in private if you want privacy, fucker

Imagine 3rd world trains.

[doublename]

imagine riding the roof of a train.

[usagi]

I'm on a laptop right now. fuck me, ennit.

[Candiru]

Those laptops are probably just shitty ones they are given to do their work stuff on. My job gave me an "international smartphone" that I don't need at all. It's Nokia so I'm not going to use it obviously.

[o00o]

what about people who get their shitty dell windows xp laptop out on a train, and scroll up and down on a pointless excel spreadsheet, whilst pretending to concentrate in their cheap george at asda suit.

 

what a bunch of fucking dickheads.

I was thinking about making music in the train to work as this is the most relaxed time of the day for me

[Rubin Farr]

In my region they be like "where do I plug in my laptop? Ya'll got wifi?"

 

[BCM]

Don't the tubes have air conditioning? Funnily enough, you can't open the windows on our buses.

some now do yes, only about a 3rd of the lines though and only the more recently commissioned shallow lines (metropolitann line, circle line etc). the proper old school deep lines have no air con, smaller trains and generally more people...i used to get the northern line every day. also known as the misery line.

[YangYing]

...Yikes!

yeah, this

 

more chill needed in this thread

[scumtron]

Old farts with cheap Dell laptops and spreadsheets are better than that filthy hipster on my train who used his $3000 17" Macbook Pro only to play Tetris.

[doublename]

lol he prolly works in advertising too

I would wager you DON'T use public transportation on a semi-regular basis, do you?

 

If I caught you staring at my phone, and called you out on it and you still didn't stop, I'd fart loudly in your direction. Probably lean away from you and let one fly. Hell, I wouldn't even care if I sharted doing it.

get a fucking car you spoiled brats!!!

This, also:

 

Fuckers who let their bag/backpack occupy a seat when the bus is crowded/people are standing.

 

Fuckers who enter the bus while people are trying to exit.

 

Oh. Looks like the last one was already there. Well done. I don't mind the fat people though. Nothing like a doughy thigh rubbing up against mine.

I'm on public transit about 2 hours a day every work day. I maintain that you are extremely uptight (if these posts are serious) and that it's weird to assume you'll have privacy on a public bus. And yeah, I actually have stared at some jackass's phone for about ten minutes - he was texting about how terrible it was to be on the bus, how his morning was sooo long, while he sat in an aisle seat with his bag next to him, and I stood in the aisle waiting for a seat, rolling down the highway. I've gotta say, I took a bit of pleasure reading his ridiculous texts and loled quietly when he turned around to make an annoyed snorty face at me.

[Hugh Mughnus]

It's kind of a dick move to be staring at someone's phone regardless of where you are. You aren't the intended recipient of whatever message he or she is writing.

 

Would you lean over in line at a store to stare at their phone too? Or walking down the street, start walking next to someone and try and see what they're typing?

nvrmnd...

[luke viia]

Oh and fwiw, if someone actually said "stop looking at my phone" I would certainly oblige, but I've never seen that happen to anyone on the bus... because everyone is always looking at their own phone.

 

 

tbh that's my only real bus pet peeve: looking up and seeing every last person with their head buried in their phone, endlessly scrolling facebook. It's disappointing - in a grand way - to see 30 people sitting so close together in isolation.

Nah, I wouldn't go out of my way to do it. But how is it any different from someone making a public phone call? If I'm already packed in close to you, with nowhere to go, should I plug my ears so I don't hear the message? Should I likewise make sure not to look at someone casually blocking me from sitting down, with their phone pointed right at me*, whining about how hard their day is? Nah. He can deal. As for JR, I mostly just wanted to poke fun at his ridiculously long list. That's the list of a man who feels anxiety before even stepping onto public transit :P

 

 

*I want to be clear: I'd have needed to turn around toward the back of the bus to avoid looking at this guys phone. There are only so many places to look on a crowded bus before you find cleavage, a dudes crotch, or a tweaker's eyes. So nope, I didn't feel like a dick. I felt pretty courteous actually.

[Hugh Mughnus]

That makes more sense. I thought you meant you'd go out of your way to do it and fuck the people that are offended by it because "youre in public". lol

 

 

damn page break

[luke viia]

lol no, I just don't think it's appropriate to expect privacy on public transit, that's all. glad we've come to an understanding.

[cruising for burgers]

i've been more troubled by people talking around me than people have been troubled by the music coming out of my phone... that's a fact... of course i don't do it on places where it's silent...

i get on the bus everyone is screaming gossip around and doing every fuckin thing you mentioned that bothers you on this thread, BUS radio playing, an enormous cacophony all around and i get the looks because i'm listening to music on my phone??? fuck it... i'm on a music school, every fuckin retard tenor goes around singing in the corridors, nobody seems to care, some applaude, and i get the looks because music's coming out of my phone... humans...

 

 

oh and, the way people react in this thread just proves i'm in the middle of super-perfected-humans who can spot all the annoyances around them but they have none... right... it's liek i'm surrounded by angels...

 

the op post was pretty fun, i think i got it and i loled... that was it...
