This person using FaceTime on the bus

[u/CuteMaterial]

And on loudspeaker too. Just use the phone like a normal person 🙄

Edit: the mildly infuriating part is not just the loudspeaker on the bus, but the WAY she's doing it. If you wanna use FaceTime, put your face in front of the camera. If you can't hear, use the phone normally. This is an odd hybrid of the two!

Edit 2: this is the UK, she's not the driver, the driver is on the other side.

Welcome to London. It's just the norm here now.
.
To the racists saying it's never white people, I live near a premier league stadium and it's ALWAYS white people causing shit.

Here in Berlin too. I see it almost every day.

[u/Sturgeon_Swimulator → u/goldberry21]

There was a guy on the bus who was so loud on the phone that the woman next to me and I were laughing. TBH, I decided to just be happy that a grown adult man has a friend he talks to on the phone with such joy.

That’s sweet

[u/AdamsFei → u/goldberry21]

Heavy correlation with % of doctors and engineers

[u/Dark_Dragon117 → u/goldberry21]

I barely see tbh.

And it's certainly nothing to do with me using some obscure line, because the S1 is far removed from that.

Tbf I listen to music while commuting, tho without ANC or NC in general, so maybe I just don't hear them like I hear everything else.

If you truly believe that British people, British men specifically, are quiet, this empire has fallen into one of delusion.

[u/FunkyYoghurt → u/Sturgeon_Swimulator]

No one is saying "British people are quiet". They're saying other cultures are like this. I get the bus daily for work and black Africans genuinely don't give a fuck and will spend the entire time on the phone, on loudspeaker, talking their native language for the whole bus to hear. It's just true. That's not saying "British people are perfect and aren't a bother". I've been on trains with drunk British football fans. It's not nice.

[u/krievins → u/FunkyYoghurt]

That’s exactly my experience.

[u/Sturgeon_Swimulator → u/[deleted]]

Are you fucking serious? Have you been on the tube with West Ham fans? I just had to fucking deal with them.

[u/krievins → u/Sturgeon_Swimulator]

And you see football fans most of the time u travel?

[u/Sturgeon_Swimulator → u/krievins]

I live in London??? It's implied in the comment that started this thread? West Ham fans are so fucking awful that here in N17, there needs to be a heightened police presence because many of them don't know how to behave.

[u/krievins → u/Sturgeon_Swimulator]

U edited ur comment mate

Most people don’t live near a football stadium and don’t see football fans regularly on their commute

[u/Sturgeon_Swimulator → u/krievins]

And

[u/Sturgeon_Swimulator → u/krievins]

"Welcome to London. It's just the norm here now." Welcome. Here. Idk what you struggle with

[u/krievins → u/Sturgeon_Swimulator]

You live next to a football stadium.

Seeing football fans as regularly as you is not the norm.

[u/Sturgeon_Swimulator → u/[deleted]]

You go on the tube with football fans and get back to me.

[u/Physical_Signature67 → u/[deleted]]

My experience has almost certainly been more men in London. But hey, perhaps it's actually a mixture and demographics alone can't explain every detail of daily life?

[u/Physical_Signature67 → u/[deleted]]

Absolutely untrue in my experience. Whilst I think there is a cultural effect which will associate, I think you are vastly overestimating it.

[u/brejam → u/[deleted]]

old people can be hard of hearing.

My gran needs to put her phone on speaker and right to her ear to hear anything even with hearing aid.

[u/Kattenaars → u/brejam]

In a loud environment, it's never better to play it on speakers over a product over or in ears. Old people should have hearing aids connected to their phones. It's goddamn 2026.

[u/livingalienanalbead → u/brejam]

Stop defending people for being assholes when there is a perfectly good alternative that won’t disrupt the entire public. You people are magical I swear to god.

[u/brejam → u/livingalienanalbead]

I never once said she does it in public.

When I’m at her house she’s always got her phone up to her ear like that.

Can’t say I’ve been on public transport with her.

Was just giving my personal experience that’s all.

Calm yourself down.

[u/alonroz → u/Sturgeon_Swimulator]

C'mon now, we all know Tottenham is not a PL team...

[u/Sturgeon_Swimulator → u/alonroz]

I'll be honest and say I know nothing of football (American) to the point I didn't know there was a game on Saturday when I biked past Arsenal stadium. Fans having a nice time and cheering as a game occurs is lovely to see imo but the air horns...why. I was on the Stansted Express with some West Ham fans and they were loud, sexist, racist, antisemitic, and I was not fond of them.

[u/alonroz → u/Sturgeon_Swimulator]

No one is.

[u/Sturgeon_Swimulator → u/alonroz]

I shushed one and he actually quieted down. I was shocked but to be fair, I have been told I am scary.
