On the subject of public transport

[linsul]

Overheard Eavesdropped today in the bus on an old man and an old wonam who where complete strangers but talked for more than fifteen minutes on how times have changed and the weather, possibly the two most popular topics among the third age

jijii...I am that person who talks about random things in the underground/bus.

:D Congrats! I am not that outgoing, unfortunately.

You do that too. *giddy* I'd say the moment you set foot in a bus for instance, you enter a vaccuum zone. Absolutely no sound. *laughs* I unlike you don't find it uncomfortable. It shows respect. What would bother you was the doctor's waiting room. I went in and because the door cracked, it seems a theatre spotlight had been directed to my face. Sheesh, peoples. In any case, I might have sounded like a pouncing tiger, but imposing appearances can't be set aside after all. ^.^

On topic: YOUNG people talk about weather all the time. You hear old people talking about it you also start ranting on how olders are such obsessed peeps. Chain reaction really. *L*

I don't find it uncomfortable (I tanke the bloody thing about thrice a day), but it does annoy me when I remember to think about it.

Respect? You mean that if someone started to talk to you you'd feel unrespected?

I've hardly heard any youngster talking about the weather. That's just Swiss youth being boring. ;)

LOL! Then don't remember it. ;) Stop eating fish for one. Did you know that codfish is in extintion?! You're eating up all my codfish! Stop it, damnit. LoL.

I didn't say that. I don't mean that either. However, some people may like silence, and when in public, you generally go for the virtuous behaviour. You wouldn't like noise in the library either.

Nope, that isn't true either. I suppose Swiss youth isn't as interesting as Spanish or Brazilian, but they're not too far behind. It's just that it realyl strikes a nerve every time you hear old people and their weather thing. You're solid proof, gal, and don't you deny it!

[linsul]

Come and eat codfish with me. :)

O_o You are not making sense!

I won't deny it, not after writing to paragraphs on the weather in a IM convo with mattador.
