Talk on public transport?

I dunno what the rules are where you live but in Sydney, people don't (usually) talk on public transport. At least not on the public transport that I catch. Sometimes you get a couple (or three) of ladies who have been shopping and they don't sit next to each other - maybe across the aisle or one behind the other and then they talk loudly in a language other than English. Doesn't bother me. I try to guess the language from the sound and I wish it was easier to the English speakers to open-up.

Mobile phones are completely different. People seem to answer (or even initiate) calls of the most intimate nature and then act as if there is nobody around them. What is it with that? I really don't want to know about your opinion of the bloke that took you out last night or your current excuse to your boss for being late.

This train of thought was triggered by stumbling over this article as I started a prune and cleanup of my blogroll. Check out the post - should he try to chatup the chick in the green coat?
