Anna Perenna Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Man. I got the public transport blues. I am on a long train ride to the Blue Mountains right now. This should be a pleasant experience spent reading and enjoying the scenery but an inconsiderate guy has forgotten his headphones and is watching a movie really loudly on his laptop. I can't read my book while that tinny sound is bothering me. But I'm too 'polite' (read: pathetic) to ask him to turn it off. In fact, everyone around him is irritated, it's an eye rolling / sighing party in here. But he is oblivious and we are all too trapped by our fear of confrontation to try to do something to end this. I feel like Michael Douglas in Falling Down. I understand why he snapped. I'm not even going to go into my bad luck with arm-rest hogs on planes because I just want to post this. What would you do in my situation? Quote _______________________________________________________ I don't know how to put this, but ... I'm kind of a big deal. http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/da43a2f8a710897a421f74efa00eba9a.jpg I'm still here. I'm still a fool for the holy grail Not all gay men send me penis pictures. But no straight men do. And to date, no woman has sent me a picture of her vaginal canal.
wez Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 What would you do in my situation? I'd start bitching about the price of a coke and proceed to run amok.. Quote

timesjoke Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 I would strike up a conversation with the guy about the movie, go on and on about how great or poor the movie is, talk about the actors and other movies they were in, talk about mistakes in the movie and the songs, give some real life examples of how this movie reminds you of your real life and wondering how they seem to be talking about you, turn paranoid about people watching you and how this movie proves that there agents in the Government who are after you and trying to turn you crazy so you don't btring them down with all the information you know your not supposed to know.......... I bet you ten bucks he will close his laptop and get away from you Quote
eddo Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 running amok does sound promising. Quote I'm trusted by more women.
RoyalOrleans Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Start fidgeting, scratching your neck and arms, swat at the air, and claim that bees are all over you. Then claim to see fire through the windows and snakes writhing on the floor.

Anna Perenna Posted April 3, 2010 Author Posted April 3, 2010 Thanks for the tips. I'll try them all in future. p.s. I didn't do anything. I just sat there and ate it, the whole way!
