American sitting not that near me

I'm on the train and she's sitting in a seat somewhere further up the carriage and OMFG she is so loud, you can't hear the other people in the conversation, just HER.

Selected quotes;
"There's just so many people in the states compared to here, like OH MY GAAAAAAWWWD."
"How many litres to a gallon?? HA HA HA HA."

Has anyone else experienced this? It's driving me demented!

I know in the UK they have special carriages where mobiles are banned. Is it not the same in Ireland?

Maybe she's actually Irish like you OP, but just associates strongly with the US in such an infuriating way as to change her accent, measurement systems, and maybe even, HER NAME!?

Not all British trains have that, believe me, I know.

How do you know she is talking on the phone? I took it that she is part of a group but is just much louder than the others.

Was having a pint in Berlin a couple of years ago, somebody drove on to the tram tracks. They got stuck there, because with all the loose stones, the wheels just kept spinning. The driver was really going for it making some racket, and the smell of burning rubber was getting strong.

American girl next to us screams at the top of her voice "OH MY GAWWWD, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE"

Americans are the obnoxious teens of the English speaking world.
Brits are the older dad and Irish the drunken uncle.

Uriel.

was she hot?

My experience of American Girls has shown them to be kinky sex machines.

Could have been a win win situation for you if you had wandered over to chat to her.

Could be worse could be a gaggle of Spanish students

I dunno where these mythical carriages are (in the UK) sans mobile conversations but I'd dearly love to find out. The new wave of Irish immigrants and there constant "ya/roight/orr yew roind tonoight" yapping is getting a tad irksome.

I preferred the old days when the Irish were throwing up or blowing up on trains. Least it was all over in seconds.

In Ireland I've noticed that the lower the social class, the louder they are.

A bus full of Spanish students is louder than a Jumbo jet taking off from an AC/DC concert during a hurricane

Despite people being sick of them, you can't really go around deleting them now, having allowed them for months!

I think you will find he's being a mod, can delete/remove anything he sees as OT.

Aussies are the sporty brother with a superiority complex, Kiwis are the laid back one who everyone likes and Canada is forgotten about middle child with the inferiority complex 'Marsha, Marsha, Marsha' etc...

Hope this helps.

The skangers are always the loudest - as if they have an innate desire to constantly draw attention to themselves.

Oh, I agree. Once I was in Tesco. There was a skanger couple in there who yelled at each other the whole time I was there, even when there was four aisles between them. They actually didn't let up for a second, and it was that awful heroin drawl.

That's one thing that really pisses me off about skangers. They think everyone is fascinated with their business. :mad:

Still, they are a sub-class. You said people get louder with decreasing social class. That's not true. Not all working class = skanger.

Home is where you make it, a chara. I leave the parochialism to those who stay put.

No, what irks is the volume and "look at me" vibe.

that not that uncommon from irish girls now either unfortunately :mad:

Oh I sympathise with you...some Americans really tend not to have an indoor voice. I was at Oktoberfest a couple of years ago, and on the train back there's an American girl (it's always the girls) and she flips AT THE TOP OF HER VOICE because she's feeling claustrophobic. I helpfully recommended she lock herself in the toilet to get away from the people...:o

But she was just whinging, who would go to Oktoberfest if they were genuinely claustrophobic? It was ass to ass all day, throughout Munich. Attention-seeking foghorn...:mad: She had to disembark the train (:D), to presumably catch another one with the exact same crowded story.

I was at the bird show at the Ailliwee Caves last weekend. The guy presnting the show said that there were 3 birds of prey that were re-released in Ireland over the past few years and asked if we knew what they were. I think the first two were the Golden Eagle and the Red Kite.

Presenter: That's two, anyone know the third one?
Audience: ....
Presenter: It's a very rare bird of prey nowadays.
Audience: (mumbles amongst themselves)
Presenter: Hasn't been seen in Ireland in decades
American Woman: It's the raven isn't it?

It was so hard not to laugh out load, she was only a few feet away from me....

Ever watch a Youtube video of a live song or even worse, acoustic? Always seems to be one American talking throughout it, sometimes ruining it completely.
