People playing music, watching videos on their phones etc without headphones. Seems to be much more prevalent these days.
Add to that people talking into their phones in the same way. You aren't on TV, we don't all need to hear. |

Indeed. The way people use their phones on TV show the Apprentice seems to have made its way into the 'real world'. I nearly got hit by some kid in London last week who was facetiming whilst cycling through a red light. Little tit. |

People (mostly yoofs) who cut right across you on their bikes. One got so close a few years ago he nearly "fell" off his bike  |

Tbh, I think a lot of it now, is people usually sending voice notes. Remember, people don't call each other any more |

I knocked on my neighbours door to tell him he’d left his car lights on and he acknowledged me through his Ring doorbell😁

I lent my jet washer to a new neighbour some years ago. While he said thanks when I wheeled it over the little shit just left it by my garage door when he finished. |

What did you want him to do? Give you a reach around?  |

How can he possibly let you know he's finished, if he isn't giving you a reach around. Talk some sense man  At least he returned it. Plenty of people lend stuff to their own family and decades later they still come up with awkward ''...oh, yeah. I must bring that over next time.'' |

I tend to use the morning train to read some of my book, and so when I hear this, it also boils my piss. Not quite as much, is when someone is getting shitloads of messages or whatever and their phone is pinging and dinging away at stupidly loud volume. You are literally scrolling through your phone, is there such a necessity for the volume? The Elizabeth Line is quite bad for people scrolling through Instagram/Snapchat and the volume blaring out for all the carriage to hear. The joys of the rat racing commute huh! Train home is for Spotify so I can mask the irritants. |

I've found that if you sit near them & play Heavy Metal at full blast on your phone they suddenly become a bit more considerate |
