My Top 8 pet hates..Diary of a London Soul! (part 2)

Mobile Phone 'BAD-WUD' syndrome!


Ok so you are angry, had a bad day, your girlfriend lost your ipod on the tube, and to top it all off, you got offended when she told you that someone gave her a wink. But come on, does the whole world have to share in your anguish? 
Since mobiles have become a part of our eveyday life, we are all the more surrounded by conversations to an imaginary second person. Just sometimes however, everyone and thier dog somehow becomes privy to the whole picture, because the conversation gets very ugly.
It really does feel uncomfortable listening to a random bloke effing and blinding down his samsung without no regard for his surroundings. The problem is nowadays you dare not ask for them to tone it down, just in case the guy pulls out a little toy to do you severe damage with!


I am probably sounding quite old school here, but when children are around, certain language and behaviour should not be displayed in my opinion. 


While I am on the subject of phones in public, what happened to the days when we used to use headphones on the bus? I know loudspeaker is cool when you need to multitask, but come on, must everyone hear what you want to blast?


I do appreciate the value of community and sharing, of course, but most of the time, the songs are so crude and aggressive I spend the time in shock, wondering which part of the tune they are enjoying, because I really ain't feeling any of it!

Yes, mobile phone abuse. Definately one of my top 8 pet hates!
