I can understand people talking on their phones, but It sure can be ridiculous when it's a dead silent fully packed bus and there's someone practically yelling (or sometimes actually yelling) on their phone. Other than that I can usually tolerate it. It's crazy how many people talk about committing crimes.

wouldn't it be funny if the rest of the bus listened in rapt attention and chuckled and or chortled at all the 'funny' parts, were Amazed and Astounded (didja Hear whet he just said?!) at the marvels this fellah'd gone thru -- cheer him on when he's Winning and groan LOUDLY when the his shit hits the fan. and he'll either eat it up (and maybe embellish far beyond belief (SIXTEEN Hot Dogs! can you Believe what I did!) or realize he's playing the Fool.
