Billege,
when I took the Long Island RailRoad for 2.5 hours every day, listening to some teen talk endlessly about their love life with their girl friends is really annoying, especially when it's not done with ANY discretion. In fact, one night someone else actually stood up and said, "I DON'T CARE IF YOU SLEEP WITH SO-AND-SO! JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!" because this young lady went on for over one and half hours, LOUDLY, everyone heard INTIMATE DETAILS about their relationship, to the point if there were children, mothers would have covered their ears.
I don't mind if it's 5 minutes or even 20 minutes done discreetly, but after 1 hour of droning, it's alittle bit much, beyond EMERGENCY, but more chatting to PASS TIME.
As we know the harder someone is to hear the louder the voice gets, it's a human condition. It's during those times that it's the most annoying because the person isn't holding a conversation but SHOUTING.
Sure, I don't disagree with ANY of your points, but I do beg to differ on being a chickenshit. I have walked up to people and told them flat out, that they were being annoying in restaurants and in theaters. But after the one thousandth time of having to tell some moron to have some manners it gets old.
and of course, I'd feel bad knowing that I caused someone to miss their last messages from a dying loved one, i'm not a sub human (I'm an exsmoker so I sympathize)
