A guy having a private conversation on a train has his photo taken by some woman who then exposes him of being a cheater.

What a horrible horrible woman she is and I hope he sues her for a huge sum. She had no right to be eavesdropping or to publish the details of his private conversations. She really needs to be taught a lesson for this and I hope he sues for such libelous and scandalous comment to make about him.

My ears have been molested by unavoidable nonsense conversations on the train. So I'm completely indifferent to what this woman's done.

What a cnut!!

I thought it was funny.

Latchy · 09-06-2013 3:34pm

Probably the best example of the misuse of modern technology where nothing or nobody is safe from intrusion .

Devia · 09-06-2013 3:34pm

I'm not really feeling the outrage.

BNMC · 09-06-2013 3:36pm

Both idiots.

Awful thing to do. If false, the man's life is ruined. If true, huge humiliation for his partner.

There is one idiot and that is the nosey judgemental woman who decided to play judge and jury and shame a total stranger which was none of her business. Absolutely disgusting vile woman and this is typical of cyber-bullying. No matter what the guy was saying she had no right to announce what she heard to the whole world. Lads get together from time to time and have these types of conversations and it is not unusual to over-inflate such tales of conquest either. For all she knows the guys could have been just bull-sh1tting his mates.

Simples - dont cheat and talk about it in public if you expect to get away with it.

Cheaters 101 - dont tell anyone you dont trust 100% (Learned the hard way meself :P)

If that woman has stopped even one self-important tool from having a private conversation on his mobile, in earshot of others, in a public place, I think she deserves a medal for public service.

I hate people having audible phone conversations in public places, it's intrusive and rude.

She's no paragon, he's a dope.

As someone said in the comments, it's just a photo with that auld bint saying he was talking about his affairs. She could be talking sh1te. Why didn't she make a video when she was at it and put it up on YouTube?

Technology shouldn't destroy a person's right to privacy. The man is a pleb but the woman has no right to possibly destroy his life. The old adage of minding your own business should have been applied here.

Newspapers do that sort of thing ,they thrive on gossip to the point that even the most mundane incident or topic ( not in this case ) is now classed as newsworthy .

The statue to her right doesn't think much of her.

I don't get the outrage, if he is cheating he deserves to be caught. It's his own fault and deserves all the repercussions.

Once it's in the public domain they can reprint it without permission or altering it.

Is it private if you are speaking loudly in a public space?

This. Serves him right for bragging about it loudly for all to hear. If he wants to keep his private affairs private then he should be learned to stfu in public. No one needs to hear that kind of guff.

garv123 · 09-06-2013 4:40pm

Does she really think she's a hero and doing the wife a favour?

Imagine how embarrassed and humiliated the wife is going to be after finding out her husband is cheating on her by reading a link a friend on facebook shared or reading it in a newspaper.

Specialun · 09-06-2013 4:41pm

What an auld b itch

Shes happy out in the newspaper photo too..nothing but a busy body,an international busy body now

But the woman hasn't destroyed his life. If what she heard was true and he's a cheater, he's done it all himself.

What was her purpose of doing this? To spread news in the hope that his main partner picks up on it, perhaps? Granted an absolute stranger who knows nothing about him hasn't helped, news like that will break out anyway eventually.

There's no excuse what so ever for cheating. It's greed and selfishness and nothing but.

This.

Poor wife finding out on facebook or a newspaper of her husbands, as if a partner straying wouldn't be bad enough.

marshbaboon · 09-06-2013 4:53pm

It's lulzy if it's true and his wife finds out. It's lulzy if it's not true and his wife finds out. Win win situation.

Specialun · 09-06-2013 4:53pm

Where does she draw the line I wonder

Shes she film people speeding,parking in handicap spaces

Is her busy bodiness a regular thing or is this her first time?

Cheating is one thing but if somebody were to follow her around with a camera , find some flaw in her character or life and post in for the world to see then she would be ok with this ...right ?

wonderfulname · 09-06-2013 5:01pm

Why is this incident in particular raising questions about privacy and slander? What about all the other ones? It's not remotely uncommon for people to record or photograph strangers and shame them online, it's also not uncommon for these incidents to garner attention.

Cheaters lie. They could be caught red handed and they will deny everything to their graves.

He could turn around to his wife and deny everything and anything and make himself out be a good boy capable of doing no wrong.

He may not be a cheater though. We`re just going by the word of a woman who was on the same train.

It does seem to have hit a nerve.

Sounds like a bit of projection there.

We have no idea what this guy is really like, a snapshot of a person doesn't reveal the whole story.

I think he should be shot for having a loud phone conversation on the train, whether or not he's an obnoxious boasting cheater is secondary to that, it's my pet hate.

Rasheed · 09-06-2013 5:10pm

The fella could be full of shiite and not be cheating or could be the biggest player/ man whore around. He still doesn't deserve this and more importantly his wife/ family doesn't deserve this.

Yes he deserves it.

and no, they don't deserve him. but they deserve to know

I disagree. How do know for sure he is a cheat? How do you know he wasn't talking pure cowshiite in front of his friends?

Killer Wench · 09-06-2013 5:17pm

Have y'all seen the website "People of Walmart". It's a website that features photos of people out shopping at Walmart. Usually, these images are of severely obese people, people with disabilities, people who dress funny, or whatever may be deemed appropriate for public ridicule. Photojournalists have always taken pictures of people out on the street and reported on the daily news. You do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy while sitting on a public train and broadcasting your conversation loud enough for others to hear.

However, the woman does not know if what this man said was true or if he was embellishing simply because he was around friends. So, when she began spreading his image around the net with the words that he was a cheating husband, she began to publicly defame his character. The defense to libel is the truth, and now she has the burden of proving that he did in fact cheat on his wife.

I didn't see it like this at first not that I was 'yah, her for exposing his ass'. She had no right to do what she did. News like that should come from a personal source like a friend or family member and not through facebook or the newspaper.

This is truth, and people act in consternation because they don't understand why teen bullying is so rampant. Why? Because they have learned from the adults in their lives.

Would she not have to prove he actually said it?

If he was talking pure cowsh1te in front of his friends, he needs to get help for lying. What would be his purpose of lying to his friends about something like that? Self esteem issues?

She doesn't know the full context of the story. For all that she knows, the men could be a group of actors who decided to go on a public train, be obnoxious, and see if anyone intervenes. Or, maybe they had a contest amongst themselves on who could fabricate the most outlandish story ever. He's really free to say whatever he wants. She took what he said at face value, yes, but then she took the extra steps to post his face, share what she thinks is the truth, and then told people to pass it along.

Help for lying? Go way outta that! Have you or someone you know ever lied in front of friends to act 'cool' or get respect? Yeah it's sad if he is lying or bullshiiting but it's very common!

hatrickpatrick · 09-06-2013 5:33pm

I don't have a problem with the so called privacy violation here, if you're blabbering loudly on a train what the hell do you expect, but the fact that someone can make such an accusation and have almost 200,000 people believe it without a shred of evidence other than her word against his, is a little disturbing to say the least.

If I take a photo on a train tomorrow of someone looking at a smartphone and attach a caption saying "Paedo looking at infant porn", how many people are going to join the witch hunt and share the pic before someone points out "Wait, we can't see the screen, how do we know hatrickpatrick isn't just being a douche and lying to get this guy in sh!t"?
