There ought to be a law
It happened again this morning. A pig-ignorant dipshit with a blackberry thing reading his emails on the morning train, THEN using it to call a work colleague to discuss the intricate details of a dam development project he/his company is associated with somewhere down south. Everyone in the railway carriage must have heard the details of the chopper flight he & the scientist-engineer have to take to get to the spot, the necessity for other people apart from him to work weekends, oh, and by the way, "any luck with your snooping into whether Tim wants to relocate?"
WHO...GIVES...A...FUCK!!!!!
Why isn't there a law against these people? It's the bloody morning commute, fer chrissakes! Nobody gives a flying who anyone else works for, what they do, who they know and certainly don't need to hear all about it. Seriously, there's absolutely no need for people to engage in mobile phone conversations on public transport. It's inconvenient and embarrassing (or bloody well ought to be if you have any ethics at all), not to mention the height of rudeness and extremely poor etiquette to be sharing your personal foibles with all and sundry. As an aside, there are rules to abide by if you wish to travel by train in Queensland, as listed by Queensland Rail on the walls of every carriage.
Railway Transport Laws Include:
- No feet on seats
- No drinking of alcohol
- No smoking on trains
- No creating a disturbance or nuisance
- No loud music
- No leaving bags or other obstructions in doorways and/or aisles
- No littering
I wonder how one goes about enacting a complaint?

At least it gave me something else to be pissed off about while I stood around. Always a bright side?
