Train mobile phone conversations.

What have you heard on the train?

Last night, on the train home, a girl was "Oohing" and "Aahing" on her mobile phone and most of her conversation consisted of "Are you serious" and "No way!" followed by loud laughs. I had to giggle to myself about this, not sure if she was just making it up and I had no idea what the conversation was about, apart from telling her friend about some guy who was phone stalking her and tried calling her 22 times in one night - psycho (the guy that is...).

I'd love to hear what weird conversations you have heard on the train, just to make me laugh (out loud) some more. Some people just don't care, the fact the everyone else can hear everything they are saying!

This one wasn't on a train, but in a post office.

A lady was standing in front of me in line telling the other person on the phone that "she was still lying in bed in her pajamas and was going to get up soon and do some running around"

I was so tempted to say something out loud to see her reaction :)

Haha, that reminds me of a guy standing on the platform next to me, who phoned in to work to say the train was delayed again and that he would be late, but it was perfectly on time.

This was in one of the blue vans coming in from La Guardia airport to Manhattan. Myself and two other guys, plus a young woman in the rear seat apparently returning calls (with no attempt to keep them private). It went something like this...

Call 1: Hi, Sweetie. Yep, I'm on my way into town now. Be there at 6 so I have an hour to freshen up for you. You'll be the first one tonight. Oh yes, I know you're going to enjoy it.

Call 2: Oh, hi Sweetie. Yes, I'm in the same hotel. Call when you get here and I'll give you my room number. Eight o'clock, okay? See you then, sweetie.

Call 3: Hi, Sweetie. You're my 7 o'clock? Are you the one who brought me flowers and Champagne the last time. Oooh, nice. Hmm, what type of things do you have in mind? Sure, Sweetie, no problem at all.

Call 4: Hi, Sweetie. Oh, I'm sorry, no but I'm going back home to Orlando Sunday afternoon. In the morning? Ah, that's very enticing, but don't worry, I'll be back next Friday.

You get the idea.

I remember that night. When I called her she just kept saying, "Are you serious?" and "No way!", and kept laughing like crazy.

Perhaps he was supposed to be on an earlier train

Perhaps it was the right train - but the wrong day?

Far more interesting to read what the guy in the next seat is typing on his laptop. A lot of confidential stuff is done sitting next to total strangers.

She's a cordial, travelling computer tech. Frustrated PC owners bring her their locked-up computers, and she saves the day by re-installing Windows.

At home, she uses a Mac.

That's a nice, politically correct, way of putting it :)

So she is a prostitute that does field trips, but away from work she is a lesbian?

Am I getting this right? :)

You could say that, if you would agree that anyone who uses a PC when they could have used a Mac is prostituting themself.

Not a phone but I once sat behind several makeup artists who worked in London with music stars and famous bands, of course they were swopping notes.

Said some awful things about two of the then Spice Girls, how utter moo's these two were, so I tend to beleive Geri Halliwells version of events, Britney Spears came out on top, all said how nice she was.
