Quiet Zone

[iNPUt]

Okay just got back from working in Manchester, why do groups of people go in a quiet zone carriage on the train. Was shattered working all previous day / night, and this guy and group of women were gobbing away.

Was like a running commentry, with him chewing these bloody toffies.

Could not really be bothered with an argument, but why do people do it
and have you done anything about it?

Pure ignorance.

Pure ignorance.

The fact they think people won't mind, and who needs quiet on a train

 

[Fenris]

Because they hate you and their only motivation in life is to make yours as horrible as possible.

Seriousely if you can convicnce yourself of that it will make the police interview 5 x easier when they ask why exactly you decided to murder a train full of people with your bare hands.

And this is why God invented the MP3 player...

Did they definitely realise it was a quiet zone? Is it very obvious, as I've never seen one?

Reminds me of a highly embarassing time at work when everyone was silent (open plan office) for the Armistice Day two minutes and I asked my colleague a question at normal speaking voice only to realise when he didn't reply that everyone was looking down in silence. Got several foul looks deservedly. Disgraceful I know and I was ashamed, but it's not the culprits trying to be as annoying as possible, sometimes it's a momentry lack of concentration / awareness, if that makes it any more forgiveable.

I think using earphones in quiet zones is fine, as long as it's not audible to anyone else, but other than that, it should be whisper quiet

An on the 8th day, he said let there be music?

 

[Yamahahahahaha]

So true...

That and massive underinvestment for the past 30 years.

But yeah... Making noise in a quiet zone is like blowing smoke in the face of a newborn baby.

In cattle class yes.

Gensis is the abridged version and doesn't credit Him with anywhere near enough.

In cattle class yes.

Pfft, as if first is any better...

Pure ignorance.

Plus the fact that on my journey in half the people probably can't read English so the signs are worthless.

The quite carriages are fine on the routes i run (during the week), 90% of the people go out of the carriage to make a call, those who don't usually get told to by the staff.

Aha, that made me chuckle. I usually find that people who are talking in the quiet zone do so because there was nowhere else on the train to sit.

Mid day prob only 100 people on the train.

Lucky beggar!

I once was in a quiet zone, then this single mother and her energetic child came on. The child screamed and cried and then insisted to run up and down the carriage, and all the mother could be bothered to do was shout and swear at him.
