    Up to now I've been mildly annoyed by some people and their cellphones. It hasn't been enough however to even bother expending the energy to say something to them. I can't believe no one stepped in to help this poor woman out. Sadly the degrading quality of human behavior no longer fails to surprise me...

    BoltBus from DC yesterday.


    The young women in front of me insisted on streaming "Gossip Girl" over the internet, thereby taking up a large amount of the bandwidth.

    there should never be a reason to hit an elderly person, let alone a woman, even if they are hitting you.


    that being said, if it is another twenty something, bust em in the solar plexus.

    @jackbling:


    Huh? I don't believe the woman was hitting him nor was she elderly.


    And if a 50 year old man is hitting me, I'm fucking hitting him back. Hell, even if he's 60, that doesn't make him less of a douche for hitting me. If a woman's hitting me for no reason, I'd probably push her away. If she came back, yeah, I'd deck her. I'm totally behind womens' lib. that way.

    an invaluable tool for international travel is learning how to say 'fuck off' in 20+ languages.

    @nutbastard (Everyone come to snowmodo!!!): Except Japanese is a terrible language for swearing in... Its hard to even identify what their version of "fuck off" even is. Its hard to trust a country that doesn't really swear.

    oh come on, there's an equivalent in EVERY language.


    it might translate as "go participate in sexual intercourse elsewhere" but im sure they get the point.

    i don't think 50 is particularly old, i just think its disgraceful that he hit a woman for something so childish, if i was a passenger is would have just punched him instead of restraining him

    would fanboys incessantly praising their phone of choice count?

    @stupid jerk: I've seen a rash of really obnoxious "early-college-age" people in my town having iPhone pow-wows, these people are not Nerds, more likely the 18-21 "American Idol" crowd. I recently over heard one group, and it turns out that the Alpha-female was trying to teach the others how to use the phones, and the funny thing was that I am quite certain she was giving them bad advice because every time she completed a sentence one of the others would say something to the effect of "no, that didn't work either..."


    Anyway, this continued for about an hour, during which I was trying to eat a delectable chicken chimichanga. I got to the point where one of them (the one wearing Uggs and sweatpants) started pouting because she couldn't get the phone to do what she wanted, and loudly proclaimed that she "wanted her Razr back."


    Now, I'm pretty much a dyed in the wool mac hater, but even I would rather have an iPhone over a Razr, at that point I began laughing loudly, to the point that I almost spit a chunk of chimichanga onto my g/f's plate. The gaggle of "American Idol" fans immidiately noticed me and I'm sure they realized what I was laughing at because they hurredly left shortly there after, I finished my meal in blissful quiet.


    Now don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to talk sh!t on iPhone users broadly, I'm trying to talk sh!t on people that are loud and obnoxious and obviously tech-incapable, these people just happened to be using iPhones, I'm sure you could find a similar group of people using Blackberries somewhere...

    Nah, if I notice someone is annoyed with me talking on my phone I just tell the person on the other line that I'll talk to them later. Then I smile and say "sorry about that" to the other person.


    I find peoples' reactions to a barrage of friendliness amusing, that's why I do it lol. If it makes their day, then +1 for me!

    Went in one day, started to do my business, heard him talking on the phone, and was making some god-awful sounds from the other end...Was just too much, I have my cell with me almost everywhere I go, but everyone needs to realize the limit to acceptable use...

    "After Ando was taken off the train and forced into the station's office by the staff, he punched the woman again."


    That's some mighty fine police work there, Lou.
