At least this didn't involve a beatdown of some kind.

Having commuted on trains, I have heard some doozies of cell phone conversations. The problem isn't always how loud they talk but the subjects of some conversations were painfully, unpleasantly, disturbingly personal. It's almost as if some people want to be disruptive.

Seems as though hardly anyone has any manners or consideration for others when it comes to using a cell phone. It was 10 p.m. and I am sure most people had heard quite enough talking for one day and just wanted some peace and quiet. I do not understand why people think they have to talk on their cell phone all the time and loudly enough for everyone to hear.

Let me guess, this cell phone talking passenger will now sue Amtrak.
Defund Amtrak...why are the majority of Amtrak's fares subsidized?

That’s why cell phone jammers exist. Legal to own, but not to use. They work great (so I’ve been told).

Talking non-stop from California to Oregon? Unless she was manning a suicide hotline, I can't think of any reason to stay on the line for that length of time!

Throw Lakeysha from the train. It’ll make a great children’s book.

After a portion of my plane flights were canceled I had to take a GH Bus on the last leg at 11:30 PM. I sat in front of two women who where going to a “Feminist Conference”.
I spent 2+Hours in Hell listening to them discuss the issues that were to be discussed at the conference. OMG!

I put in quite a lot of time on Amtrak while I was long distance commuting. There are few things more annoying than someone in the seat behind you who won’t stop talking on their cell phone.
It’s one thing to make a quick call home to say you are late, or something of that kind. It’s quite another to talk nonstop as this woman was evidently doing.

A pocket size cell phone jammer would be a hot seller.
