    Would be lost without my headphones. There is nothing worse than having to listen to some dope talk about who got with who last night first thing in the morning!

    Hahaha, god... You have to hop on one of the buses to Tallaght.
    Out this way they bypass the headphones and just blare it out of their phones.

    I was on the 77N one night and this MASSIVE eastern European guy just went: "Fcuk this...", Stood up, goose stepped down to the arseholes playing the crappy chimpmunk music, grabbed the phone, threw it on the floor and crushed it under his MASSIVE boot.
    I shook his hand, such a legend.

    Dublin Bus should give that man a job!

    That would have been me on a few occasions, but I lost my mp3 player. I have sennheiser hd595 headphones, they leak the sound out on purpose as they are open design so it will sound better for the listener. At full volume with my old cowon media player(which had a very high output) I could have used them for a party!


    I kept my finger on the volume to turn it down when the bus would stop and then I'd blast it when the bus started moving. I'd use them at the gym, 'clark-turning dragon' was used alot

    I remember the first time I witnessed this on Dublin Bus, I couldn't quite figure out why anyone would feel the need to hear anything more than 20 seconds of music out of a phone speaker let alone put on a public concert.

    Shortly after, one of their male cohorts lit up (obviously assuming that upstairs is the smoking room on the bus) and it all became clear...

    I love that, if you're going to spread your music around, it better be decent. I saw a girl with big earphones on the 122 one day, I could hear her music and it was almost definitely Eels. I wanted to go talk to her but instead I shuffled nervously away down the stairs. That sure showed her.

    I don't use public transport, apart from planes, so I never have to listen to other peoples music or them talking boll*x.....Thank Christ;)

    In my opinion, it's only acceptable to use public transport if you are:

    A) Living in a city
    B) Under 25
    C)Over 65
    D) Mentally Retarded


    :D
    Because......:confused:

    oh yes:D
