Since what ? Since when ? The jargon of an SNCF conceals several jewels. Regardless of, dira-t-on, everyone understood. Even if no passenger knows exactly what a “platform” looks like. In everyday language, we would rather say “between the wagons”. To summarize, slight discretion remains welcome.
My instructions are not easy to respect.
There are countless trips disrupted by unwanted conversations or shouting on the phone.. We would like to concentrate, lire, work, Thus, occasionally take a nap. Indiciblement, without really knowing why, we feel the living space threatened.
Typology du geneur. By frequenting the trains, I tried to establish a typology of people who speak extri?mement. To the Lord all honor, First of all there are those who talk to each other on a telephone, whether the conversation is personal or professional. I once read somewhere that The Most Annoying Thing in a Telephone Conversation, it's that we don't stay there?re invited. In other words, we feel deliberately ignored and despised. Most companies sell jammers, small boxes that can be operated discreetly but which, I noticed it myself, prove to be ineffective. Read this experience from two years ago here.
Among the unrepentant chatterboxes, we also meet these members of the same group who exchange, very loudly, their travel impressions. For those friends commenting on a stay, or these colleagues heading by the same conference, talk sort?s seems to be a way to occupy a place in the group.
The truly geneless will be few in number. We then distinguish the passengers who have just approached and made a car a living room. After all, since your company is pleasant, you might as well share it with those around you. We also hear a few elderly people from elsewhere, those who, despite them, have our voice that shines through, or, pire, a loud laugh. And real no-nonsense people ? All things considered, they will be quite minimal in number.
Can we bring all these chatterboxes to more discretion? ?
My carriers are thinking about it. We see a few months, Thalys had considered placing its customers according to the ticket price. A way to reserve for businessmen, renowned silent and courteous, quiet wagons . Our formula had caused 1 tolle. And yet, Deutsche Bahn has been planning “Ruhebereich” for a while, zones of silence or the slightest noise, starting with the ringing of a cell phone, is prohibited (to see here, and if you don't understand German, you will enter at least pictograms). Also kind, SNCF invented the IDTGV, ambiance zen.
“Good shit guys ! » For this part, Lyria, the Franco-Swiss TGV, recalls on its site the instructions given at the start of each journey. The rest remains at the discretion of the controller. In Belgium, between Brussels and Louvain-la-Neuve, passengers once heard, to their great astonishment, the following announcement : « resilier subscription hornet Ladies and Gentlemen, remember to turn down your music and not speak too extrinsically?mement, students doing their last minute revisions. To all exam students : excellent shit guys ! »
Should we expel guys from trains who talk too much?s ? It happened last year, it was in the United States. I passenger didn't want to hear anything (neither do other travelers) and the journey took 15 hours. Fairer, Perhaps the best way to calm conversations is to smile at all the chatterboxes by putting 1 finger on mouth. Sometimes, a simple look will be enough, especially for those on cell phones. Nevertheless, be healed, a blow that all the passengers in the wagon will have fallen into a restful sleep, the loudspeaker will announce, thunderous, that “a bar remains open in the car 4 » (or 14). Lack of luck, It’s exactly the middle of the afternoon, at a time when our sandwich sales are not taking off at all , that it is appropriate to present a meal to travelers who are digesting.
