You Irk Me Things That Irk or Annoy Us

Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? Marie I’m on the train so I’ll have to talk low. All this is said while this woman is yelling into her phone at 8AM! Really; it is not a tin can and wire, you do not need to scream into the phone for the person on the other end to hear you. It is a mobile device it is specifically made for carrying your conversation from one place to another and it does this without you having to scream into it. So now her conversation begins and I need to hear about little Johnny and Susie the whole way into work.

I am just trying to get some sleep along with everyone else on the train; however all we can hear is this woman’s whole conversation loud and clear! While this is taking place she is receiving dirty looks and funny stares, you think this might give her the hint; hey I am being way too loud on my cell phone. Alas she doesn’t care because she wants to talk that loud and doesn’t care who she bothers. This is what really irks me; they have signs, pamphlets, and they make loud speaker announcements on the train specifically so why is it that you feel the need to yell into your cell phone?

I once saw a woman get so annoyed on the train she got up and threw a pamphlet at a woman who was yelling into her cell phone. It’s not just the train that this is done either! Stop irking me and the rest of the world! Speak softly while on your cell phone I promise you that the person on the other end can hear you we have come a long way since a tin can and wire.
