Talking, for 16 HOURS on a cell phone?
What kind of phone does she have, that's massive battery life! I want one! :)
Agreed. That was my first thought. WHAT mobile phone has a 16 hour battery life???? Amazing.
Maybe she carries spares for that long lasting annoying effect.
There are power outlets on trains you can plug into and a lot of phones let you talk while its charging.
@Zeke: Damn, you ruined it! I was trying to come up with a good NAACP or ACLU/battery joke! :)
Anywho, Amtrak should take note of some other places, like airports, where you can institute charging stations or "pay as you plug".
How dare you tell a black person how to act AND she doesn't understand why she got the boot wow
I was on an Amtrak one day and a guy behind me was on his cell and kept going "Mmm" over and over again. That is all he said, every second, for the hour long ride. I was ready to make him eat the phone.
By any chance was he Asian Indian? I work with many people from India, and they've told me that's their version of the American "uh-huh".
Yes it was dman! Lol, that's funny. I was going to point that fact out but I didn't want it to come off as racist.
Just so you'll know going forward, East Indians are Caucasian so unless you're Asian or African it would be very difficult for you to come off as racist. Now you might be an ethnic snob, that you could be...
Some stereotypes exist for a reason...
Obviously not ALL black women are rude and obnoxious...
But in my PERSONAL experience, when it comes to heavyset black women like this woman...
They are ALWAYS on one of two opposite ends of the personality spectrum...
They are either the absolute sweetest women you'll ever meet...
Or they are the rudest, most obnoxious, self-centered, combatitive, b*tches alive.
The sweet ones will treat you like you are their kin, regardless of YOUR ethnicity.
The obnoxious ones, ALWAYS want to fight and argue over anything, LOUDLY...
and then play the victim, like you wronged them somehow...
and they always have a look on their face like someone just farted.
These character flaws are NOT a result of genetics, or ethnicity...
They are a result of upbringing, and cultural enviornment.
If the shoe fits...
The one stereotype no ones seems to ever want to talk about ... and the one that African American males are the first to purport to be true is obviously the one about "size". It's funny, the stereotypes that happened to be flattering are the ones people tend to use the most (even when they are the subject).
MJ, I live in NJ and have yet to meet a Caucasian looking Indian. I have no idea what that even means. I could have been totally obnoxious in my post, so I would leave it there if I were you.
And what is an ethnic snob? Where do you get these phrases from?
Holy#$&@ V...
You just made me spit water out when I read your post. A little choke-laughter never killed anyone I hope.
I agree, it's also pretty much been my personal experience as well. They are usually the first to bring race into any type of altercation, too. I can't count how many times I've been called a "white %#$@&%".
@ chad-1841583
Thank you... thank you very much...
I'll be here all week...
(until the rapture on Saturday)....
Remember to tip your waitresses... goodnight.
OMG - I am so offended by people who think its appropriate to use thier cell phones on public - and like in this instance, are loud and rude. I agree that she should have been removed from the train and fine. No wants to hear your conversation. I see this happening in too many public places (bank, grocery store line, walking down the street, even in a restaurant) and it needs to stop. Perhaps next time this rude person will reconsider the need to hold loud, obnoxious conversations in public places.
People like this woman never fail to amaze me with their selfishness and cluelessness. They truly just do not get it.
Why did it take 16 hours to kick her clueless butt off the train? Amtrak should have swooped in much earlier in order to protect the peace and privacy of their rule-following customers. I have travelled on Amtrak specifically for the quiet and calm of a peaceful journey. I probably would have thrown big mama from the train. (Don't hate on me; I am a black woman - one who follows the rules in order to be respectful of others!)
She must have been talking to one of those crazy asians at UCLA "Oh...ting, tang, tong!"
Hahaha!
Constantly bombarded by being forced to listen to the most intimate details of stranger's lives, often without the expletives deleted, as they shout in stores, restaurants, etc., I applaud ANY measure to curtail ultra rude, thoughtless behavior.
Where is Al Sharpton? I'm sure he is on the way.
Been trying to reach him for hours! Keeps going straight to VM. I wonder who he could be talking to...
My personal favorites are the mothers who think they're entitled to entertain their children with their portable movie players set to a volume of 10 WITH external speakers.
That's why I carry one of these on the bus. bit.ly/lLn4RR I don't use it much, but for those times when someone gets too loud for too long on their phone, it's so very, very satisfying.
What is it?
I'm afraid my comment will get deleted if I say it right out. Copy/paste the bit.ly link... I promise it won't lead to anything malware-infested or NSFW. Let's just say it's "electronic countermeasures."
It's a cell signal blocker.
I'd use it all the time! "You're bothering me...blip"
What the HELL could she have been talking about for 16 HOURS! I don't think I would've lasted an hour listening to that.
Well aren't we the pot calling the kettle fat and black! Ever have one of these women see a line of 15 people waiting and walk right up with the guy at the counter says "I can help the next person in line". Hell yes she is rude just like 90% of everyone around today. Someone should have sat on her lap and farted or simply joined the conversation...then when she cries out "how rude" she may have gotten a hint!
I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to grab someones phone and throw it out the window into on-coming traffic. I consider this a blow for every sane person in the world who is being driven crazy by some nut-job that can't stop talking, texing, or playing a game when someone in authority says "turn it off"
Even the photo is priceless! She still looks like she doesn't have a clue . . .
And the cop motioning for her to Get Out!
I remember being on trains in Italy and people would yap on 2 cell phones at the same time, and they all had the same exact ring.
The Tarantella song?
Ha! No, that would have been much more enjoyable.
LOL. Oh good you know the tune. I was afraid I would have to write it out for description.
Tanta tanta tanta tanta tan taratinatan
Excuse me, but she was sitting in a car designated for no cell phone use! What part of that didn't she understand?
Same as the understanding of "quiet" in the movie theatre.
Well isn't that calling the kettle fat...and black! This dayum women has no sense of manners because her momma never taught her any. You learn from your parents and those around you so its obvious that the people she hangs with and her parents don't have a lick of courtesy or commse sense. The fact that you can blab about absolutely nothing for 16 hours shows that she obviously don't have a job because people that work don't have the energy to gab that long. She needs to get a job and some manners. I would say she needs to buy a car but I can only imagine how this women drives!
Oooooohhhhh suuuure, that's a GREAT idea! Give someone who can't control their cellphone use... a CAR!!!
No way a woman of that size could go 16 minutes without food, let alone 16 hours! Obviously she was rude in forcing her conversation upon others, but even more rude to the phone friends that she was no doubt eating non stop in their ear.
Take a video (with sound) of the person talking, and post the juiciest pieces on youtube.
Cell phone blabbermouths...what topic can be that important and why must others be forced in to being a party to the conversation? Throwing her and her cell phone off the train would have been all that much sweeter at full speed.
Santana would say...
"Got a fat blabby woman, got a fat blabby woman."
"And I want to beat her so bad if she don't get that thing away from me."
"Ken Tarmak! Hello shooter, we just landed!"
She reminds me of some lady I use to know. Big Black and loud....
We all know at least one.
