I have zero issue with this TBH. Double the fine each week he don’t pay.

    Would you like to have someone next to you make lots of noise, while you are just trying to get from A to B in peace?

    Also it is one thing to be oblivious to annoying other people in public. It is another thing entirely to make a point of annoying other people in public and doubling down on it, if someone tell you. That is just being arrogant and vile.

      Yeah, I don’t like it, I am quite sensitive to any kind of sound. But I don’t have a problem expressing that, and if that doesn’t resolve it, I leave. For these annoyances I really don’t think we need any kind of authority.

      Which brings us to the point everybody here conveniently omitted, that there’s conflicting statements. He says he switched off the phone immediately, the rail company says he didn’t. Here nobody gives a fuck about that and everybody’s just calling for higher fines. Someone even, albeit jokingly, suggests eugenics. It’s like a mob mentality and I find it shocking. I wish they’d be just as aggressive when it comes to cars. Because that’s a form of pollution that is more than just an annoyance. It’s life threatening.
