Smart phone intrusions

[gus-lopez]

I would join in the conversation - they'll soon move

I do.

or people having the radio on etc etc

I use a site outside brighton with no music, tv's, musical instruments to be heard. People abide by the rules.

It's just people talking.

usually loudly.Try not saying anything in the doctors, or the hospital or even the funeral parlour. seen it all here

Don't you like other people?

no.

Or is it the fact they are using modern technology to talk remotely?

no the fact they are doing it as though no one else counts

I assume that you would be okay with loud music playing near you whilst you siesta.

fortunately that's illegal here between 2-4pm .same as noisy working.just call the policia local

Do it from inside your unit.

This^^^^^^^^^& if deaf get some hearing aids as no one wants to hear it through the walls.

with the phone out front and loud is becoming more popular.

& makes it far easier for the bike scum to steal them

've noticed a recent frequency of people being completely unaware of others around them.
You feel like shouting "Am I invisible?" as they barge past or step backwards onto you.

I walk through them now or extend an arm .If they cannot be observant ,bothered & ignorant I can be far better at it.or even an " Eeyup ****"

I read somewhere a few years ago, probably on Facebook there was someone complaining about loud music next to them and the girl next door said "you're not spoiling my holiday! I'll do as I want!"

Generally :
These selfish attitudes are what is taking our freedoms away, rules and laws are being created by the hundreds to control our every action, because we are selfish, over populated, and can't be trusted to act reasonably.

Height barriers
Minimum alcohol price
Sugar tax
20mph speed limits
OTT Health and safety
CCTV

Just a few that spring to mind

& why I have always advocated culling is needed.

The great thing about a busy Spanish bar or restaurant is that it's impossible to use a phone

They still do here but as you say they have to go outside as even they can't shout loud enough

I've no idea about the dangers, but I can't imagine that having a Bluetooth earpiece buried in your head all day and half the night does not carry some health risks.

Same can apply to hearing aids that have the same functions?

, is it any worse than having screaming kids in your vicinity..... a common occurrence at campsites.

 

[The Old Man]

I've given up on concerts at the Utilita stadium

So have I, just don't likke the atmosphere.

Sad because a lot of the bands I like have moved their tours there from St David's Hall.

The last time I was at Utilita the Security people were, in my opinion, crass!

Going back and forth to get pints was fine but some people naturally gravitated to the front and the aisles and were, dancing in the aisles!!!!! Often encouraged by the band.

Security personnel moved in and ordered dancers bak to their seats. When they got back up and resumed dancing it all got very heavy when they started aprehending people and escorting them from the audtorium.

Killed all atmosphere instantly.
