People who blast music from phones on public transport

ILA

What is up with this?

Every morning and evening, for a total of at least two and a half hours a day on a bus, I am forced to endure the racket from young spacers blasting their horrid taste in music around the bus, and then constant screams to "send me that one!" and their even more puke inducing attempts to sing the crap they broadcast.

Gut them like a fish, and stick them on the outside of the bus with their phones in their mouths as a warning to others.

Would you rather they ignored each other while wearing headphones?

Yes. That thread is just to gauge the reception to that particular trend, which I practice.

A few weeks ago i was on the dart from sydney parade to tara street about 3:30 pm, on it behind me were two junkies having a few cans. they had a phone on and playing some sort of techno on loud speaker and the were also playing a game scrabble on another phone and shouting out words. Bit of a strange experience.
That doesnt happen alot but teens on the buses and trains playing different songs from different phones does my nut in.

Should be shot! I rather not listen to the latest Bonkers tune...thanks! Although I'd love to do it back to them... start blasting some Pantera or Metallica in their faces! How'd ya like them apples....

That's why I wear headphones.

You rarely see a scumbag with an iPhone, so I'd assume you mean some sort of nokia/other piece of shít. Damn low quality music...

Have I just crossed to a parallel dimension? This all seems horribly different but very similar at the same time...

Well that all depends if they are able to spell the words correctly... the first guy may be hoping the second guy doesn't know he's wrong

Some friends were on a bus where some knackers were playing music out loud a year or so ago. After a while this huge eastern european guy who was on the bus too got pissed off. He walked up to them grabbed the phone, threw it on the bus floor, jumped on smashing it into about 50 pieces and then walked back to his seat. My friends thought he was an absolute hero...

It's compensatory behaviour for the fact that they don't have any depth or real character so to announce that the posse is here they need to blast out the sped up dance tunes. The music says everything you need to know about them never mind the s**te that dribbles out of their mouths. Some of the time they're actually trying to provoke a reaction and when you take the bait and tell them to turn it down you'll have three or four of them on top of you like monkeys , as is their way being cowards by nature.

I've been jumped by a group of similar type skangers and while they don't hit that hard I wouldn't chance confronting them unless I had some back up. It's the girls that you need to watch more so , unless you want clumps of your hair pulled out by the root and a nasty mouth infection from being scraped by their manky nails. I kid you not.

I have no problem about people playing music anywhere but the phones are annoying due the sh*t sound...

Download those high pitched ringtones that only dogs and teenagers can hear and blast it out at them.

Dubbed "mosquito noise/tone". Don't think that'd work.

If you take public transport I have no sympathy for you.

I'd be 99% sure what they were playing wasn't techno.

Its more annoying if their ringtone is a ghastly song and up to full volume thats more annoying than them blasting their music from their phones when on public transport.

Before the country morphed into a monocultural pack of bores we used to fight back with better audio equipment and Pantera!! That used to shut the skangers up!

When did this happen? I seem to have missed it.

They get the phone for Christmas and they'll get the headphones for their birthday.

General Zod

to my shame, I had to do this once.

I was on a London Night bus, and it was pretty deserted, and drunk. the only way I could prevent myself from falling asleep and ending up locked in a London Bus Depot was to play myself some tunes.

I was mindful of not wanting to anoy the bus driver, so I put on some Creedence Clearwater Revival to keep me awake.

To clarify:

I posted that thread to guage the public reaction to people using headphones. I use them daily on public transport, but was playing "devils advocate" if you would.

fishtastico

It's a viable alternative to expensive clubs in these recessionary times

CorkMan

I remember when I was over in New York on the subway, there was a sign saying "No Boomboxes allowed".

They should apply the same here. If you don't comply, €50 on the spot fine.

FreudianSlippers

They are always listening to some absolute shíte music too

AnnyHallsal

I hear ya, OP. I think it's ignorant to be blasting your personal taste in music in public.

I was in the dole office last week and a couple stumbled in. First thing I heard was the lady saying "I'm gonna puke." After they were seated, the fella decided to play his phone music on full blast. Was some R n B number about a birthday suit with many expletives and much sexual content, which made me squirm because there were kids about. Another woman in her twenties went to reception to complain and they threatened to kill her. None of the social workers intervened. Too frightened I reckon. The two spent the rest of their time there threatening to ram the phone up or down various body parts belonging to the complainer while playing various other urban numbers at concentration defying tones.

I got a few of those on the Dart the other day.

So i shared some Meshuggah with them.

notonlybutalso

i threw a phone out of the bus window. They all got off to retrieve the device. Two birds one fone.

I had to endure this on a train from Dublin to Waterford a few weeks ago, 4 girls blaring and singing Rihanna from their phones. Apparently some passenger complained and few Irish Rail lads got on at Carlow telling them to shut up. Didn't stop them though, they should have been kicked off!

Ok so you'd rather listen to shitty Bonkers music yeah?

Fair enough...
