I work for a BPO and sometimes use cab provided by the company to travel. I feel like some people jus dont care for basic public manners. especially, it is noticed that in the company cabs people jus behave the way they want to. they talk anything on the phone, talk and laugh loud enough to irritate people. I mean how can they behave like that? Not only in the cabs..even in other public places also, some people have no consideration for other people.

It annoys me to hear someone talking REALLY loudly on their cell phone, in public. Sometimes at home my husband talks way too loud on his cell phone and I yell at him. Ok, I don't yell, I make faces and use hand gestures! haha I just think it's really rude and impolite when people do it in public.

When I overhear people talking on the phone loudly, I sometimes find it hilarious especially if they talk with their hand gestures and all. It can sometimes be irritating if it's early in the morning in the train when some people may still feel sleepy or when it's late in the evening. Yes some people should learn to be more considerate.

I do hate it. It's like I'm eavesdropping even though I am not. I don't want to listen but there's no choice. I am interested to know about their private life, they can keep it to themselves. It's worst if we're in a cinema or public transport where their voice will be louder.

ya ya reaaaaaaly loud is definitely annoying ........but accept it dude, everybody evesdrops .....and im sure deep inside their heart they love it ............. but the sad part is interrseting conversations are never loud like a romantic one or maybe a fight ....its always housewifes yelling the the groceries list or maybe men talking to their drivers and hopeles stuff of that sort ...........so even evesdroping loses its charm :)

Yes, I do hate it. Some people seem so inappropriately un-self conscious about talking loudly on the phone in public, like we care about what Bill said to Ben! Once I was on a train in the cab that is supposed to be the 'quiet' one where you can sleep and there was a girl talking loudly and apparently name-dropping famous people she knew. I was in a bad mood anyway, so I said loudly "Haven't you seen the signs?" and we then had a little argument, lol! I don't usually say anything, but she caught me in a ratty mood!

I certainly do and especially get irritated with people who discuss their personal life in the cab. God I feel some moral policing is needed.
