Just when we thought long train rides wouldn't get any more noisy and disturbed than crap mobile ring-tones playing at top volume and mis-behaving children ignored by their scumbag parents, we have a new crowned monarch of irritation on public-transport. It is the portable-DVD player. I had seen this coming, with laptops on earlier journeys I've taken being used to play DVDs, but now the affordability of portable-DVDs allows the same scumbag parents with their loud mobiles and screaming kids to ensure not a moment's peace is had by anyone around them, by playing a DVD throughout the journey....through the speakers. You see, playing a DVD wouldn't cause much if any disturbance when used with the headphones as they are intended, but to play the film's audio loudly, through the speaker, on confined public transport...
T'is grumpy old men season again!
