Rant follow-up: Anti-social kids, teenagers, and adults with their mobile ghetto blasters….

mobile handset speakers part of anti-social behaviour

Recently I posted on a growing menace in our society – namely that of anti-social ‘people’, who think it’s acceptable to blast out their ‘fave choonz’ from the speaker on their mobile handset, whilst walking/riding/sloping/grunting along in public.

I was surprised to find out that this isn’t just a UK phenomenon, oh no… my post attracted comments from the following global locations:

  • South Coast (of the UK)
  • West Coast (of the US!)
  • Venezuela
  • Australia
  • Israel

… and I’m sure there are many more.

Just the other day, I was returning home from a day in London, only to spend ten infuriating minutes in the same train carriage with a group of incredibly rude teenagers- behaviour included:

  • Verbally abusing female passers-by
  • Treating the seats like a climbing frame
  • Swearing (every other word)
  • Fighting (with each other)
  • Shouting along to a rap song that was playing out of one of the perpetrators’ handsets

This dovetails neatly in to my ‘million-dollar question’ for the IntoMobile readers:

What do we do about this growing menace….?

Comments are welcome …. unfortunately those involving the application of physical violence won’t be acceptable. Probably.
