Private Conversation Out Loud in Public!

Right said..i really dislike this habit of people who speak so loudly in public disturbing others.They never mind that there are people around them..looking at them and sometimes some people even pass comments..but these loud talkers never listen and continue.. Lack of civic sense is one reason for this act.I commute by bus daily.A few weeks back i got a call from my home but i was unable to answer it because the lady who was sitting beside me was talking so loudly.they never hesitate that others are hearing to their private matters.I think atleast they need to reduce their voice level if they talk about private issues in public.

It is just so outrageously rude for people to carry on conversations in public about their personal things, especially when they are loud in the process. I want to go up to them and ask, "Have you no breeding?" but one act of rudeness is seldom mitigated by another. So I try to move away instead. But sometimes it is not possible to move away and then one is stuck. It is hard to concentrate on one's own thoughts when another person is nearby being so obnoxious that one has to devote all of one's energy to NOT bopping them over the head, lol.

Hahaha! I am also annoyed at these types of people most of the times, because they don't really know how alarming they are already. I just walk-away from them, because I still respect other's private conversation. Eavesdropping is not my craft, that I can't even imagine or picture myself listening to other's. I mostly leave them with a look-in-the-eye, for them to understand the message that I want to deliver!;)

Sometimes you cannot help, but listening to unwanted conversation. You see people are in the habit of critising others, and when they critisize others, they forget that they should tone down their voice, they should not get over excited so that others could listen to their voice. Good Point made by you! Have a nice day!

Hello wondericequeen, I think she wants you people to hear that and would decide by yourselves who was at fault; she or that someone. I, myself don't like to listen to a private conversation publicly. I don't think it is a proper way to do. Few years back, when I was still using the public transport to commute, I always came across so many kind of top secrets revealed in public! It is just amazing how people can talk loudly and let others to hear their private conversations. As for me, I don't even want my spouse to hear whenever I start to gossip with my close friends!

bahahaha. I read this and at first thought your subject was "Pirate Conversation..." and I was like Wha?! Ha ha. Oh man. I have to say that I kind of love listening in on peoples private conversations. The way I feel about it is, if you're going to have a "private" conversation in a Public place it is no longer a Private conversation. As far as complaining to someone about someone, sometimes that's the only way to vent. For instance, I hate this chick I work with. I call her MJ. I'll complain once in a while to my friend in chat about MJ. Obviously I can't tell MJ I hate her, I work with her. I can't complain to the co-workers who know her because unfortunately they like her. So it's all I can do to vent. I don't really think it wastes energy, really it saves you from that bottled up frustration.

So just listen in and enjoy it. Life is offering you this experience for a reason, don't ya think?

I know what you mean. Although it's a free country and there isn't a law on people talking on cell phones about private things on a subway. Don't get me wrong, I have been in the situation before, but you just have to block things out. Maybe some ear phones next time?

I totally agree to your parting statement. No need to waste time on people you don't like. Well, as to the lady you were talking about, I guess she wants some attention on her, she certainly got your attention when you stared, and listen to her in the train. Who can't when you said that it was all her voice inside that bus. Anyway, you don't have to blame yourself for hearing the conversation she had with her friend, she meant it to be heard. But if I'm at your place, I would be angry too. Angry at the noisy lady that wants attention.

You should take your own advice. If you didn't want to hear it you could have moved or focused your attention on something else. It takes two.
