I really, really dislike people that are just babbling into their phones non stop on public transport.

It's like nails on a chalkboard.

I can stand it so long as its not on speakerphone. But if your on ANY call in a bathroom you absolutely deserve to be shamed for it.

That's when you start groaning and making fart noises with your mouth lol

@Gibsonisafluffybutt @TinyBreak The other day, wifey and I caught a train and there was a lady who had a really blocked nose.

As in, she was awake, but full-on sounded like she was snoring.

Honk-pheeew honk-pheeew.

Both my partner and I took turns at giving her a dirty look. I gave her a full-blown death stare.

Honk-pheeew honk-pheeew.

She just looked back with a look that said: "What are you looking at me for? What did I do?"

Honk-pheeew honk-pheeew.

I usually carry a pocket pack of Kleenex tissues in my bag, but unfortunately I didn't have any on me.

Otherwise, I would have given her the packet and said: "Please, just take these — I INSIST!"

So gross!

the worst is if they blow nose snot bubbles

@Seagoon_ This one sounded more like a dry blocked nose.

We ended up moving to another carriage in the end.

Watching videos with the phone speaker on loud gets me every time.
