I don't care what people do on trains/busses/in public as long as
it doesn't affect other people. As soon as that happens, the
perpetrator has over-stepped the mark, and should stop.

So if someone insists on silence, and that affects someone who has
an important phone call to make...


Tough ****.


Glad we got that one sorted. Tough **** can work both ways, of course.


However, in law at least, the person who wants peace and quiet usually wins
over the person who wants to make a noise and disturbe others. The reality
"on the street" (to borrow a phrase) may well come down to who can
intimidate who.
