So I am on the 6:26pm to long branch. it was relatively quiet except for the crazy bleached blonde russian chick yapping into her phone for the past 45 minutes.
due to the power of the treo combined with people reading other people's business on the train, I took a more passive-aggressive approach to the situation and typed the following onto my phone (in normal-sized type):
SHUT THE FUCKING CELL PHONE OFF AND SHUT THE FUCK UP.
and then I held it in my hands as if I were looking at it... wasn't shoving it in svetlana's face.
anyway... after 30 seconds, I hear her in her broken english/russian say something about a cell phone... then she hung her's up and now 10 minutes later she's getting off at south amboy.
can't believe it worked.
