Why would you do this, instead of keeping your conversation or music or YouTube video to yourself, on the basis that no-one else has any interest in hearing it? I don't mind it. If someone wants to listen to a bit of music on the bus or tram then I honestly don't mind. Same with making calls using the speakerphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always assumed it came from the fear of getting brain cancer that was bandied about in the press shortly after mobile phones first came out. If I think about it, I was probably wrong, the horizontal thing is far more recent than the advent of mobile phones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cressida Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I was on a bus and a guy was listening to loud music, all the little lady pensioners were too scared to object, I asked him to turn it down, he did then gradually turned it loud again, so I told the driver and he said 'either turn it down or get off the bus' he turned it down & then called his friend and moaned to him about me. After I'd done my shopping in Lymm I was at the bus stop waiting to go home & he offered me a lift - you can guess what my answer was! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
