Kids and mobile phones. Specifically kids playing their music aloud from their mobile phones. They're cunts really aren't they?

Just kids. They don't need a phone to fill that cunt criteria.

Just lean over and say 'can you put your earphones in'. 9 times out of ten it actually works.

What offends me most is the sound quality - it's shite, so for the one in 10 that answers back, I'll qualify my request by saying 'look mate, that's a good song and you're making it sound shit'.

There was talk of banning it on London buses, but not sure if that's happened and if it's really enforceable. Mobile phone companies et al aren't going to do anything about it because they're raking in money from the technology but surely it would be solved if they restricted the playing capabilities to 3 second non-consecqutive bursts?

omygod its the shite they play on otherwise silent but packed buses that does my head in. What gets me is that they think this is acceptable behaviour. That said, I found myself involuntarily miming happily along to Mariah Carey's Hero the other day as it blasted through the top deck- I am so ashamed.
