Heh, witnessed something similar in public today. The "lady" was not only being extremely loud, she was dropping f-bombs with a bunch of children around.

Anyway, I'm sure Amtrak lady will sue.

That really bothers me. I don't have a problem with F bombs...but not out in general public and especially around kids.

What's worse is those with profane ringtones that just keep playing them over and over.

Wow, look like I'll have to find out what cellphone last 16 hours of continuous use without charging. :awe: I can't imagine use a phone>30 minutes, let alone 16 hours (960 minutes). Maybe she has unlimited minutes.

I think most, if not all, Amtrak cars have electrical outlets nowadays.

There is no law against people using their phones on the train. Although annoying, they should have minded their business and let her talk if she felt like it.

Not if you're disrupting the peace while doing so. I have the right to play my stereo until it disrupts the peace of others. See the loudness and annoyance similarities? Plenty of people use their cell phones regularly on trains without causing disruption of the peace we all care to enjoy during our day. She was obviously an exception.

This chick was probably one of those that practically scream while talking on the phone. There was one (old white guy) today actually, but a customer in the building I was working at. On speakerphone and shouting...plus constantly saying "SPEAK UP, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"...

My poor mom. She thinks because people sound far away, they really are far away and so she needs to be louder. Well...its not a 'thinking' thing but more like subconscious/automatic thing that she just does. Annoys the heck out of me.

People who carry on high-volume conversations on their cellphones in public places are the worst. THE. WORST. Which makes Lakeysha Beard the worst of the worst of the worst. For sixteen solid hours after she boarded an Amtrak train in Oakland, KATU.com reports, she yapped loudly into her goddamned phone. SIXTEEN HOURS. And she was sitting in a designated "quiet car."

After several passengers asked her, pleaded with her — begged her just out a sense of basic human decency — to stop yelling at the top of her lungs into the greasy little piece of plastic wedged inside her clammy paw, she completely ignored them. Then, a passenger who had reached the breaking point finally mustered the courage to stand up to her. So Beard "got aggressive."

But wait! There's a happy ending! These things never have happy endings, but this one does! Conductors stopped the train in Oregon, where hero members of the Salem Police Department were waiting to escort Beard off the train. She'd later say she felt "disrespected" by their medal-worthy actions, and didn't understand why they did the absolutely wonderful, completely appropriate thing they did.

She was later charged with unspeakable crimes against humanity and sentenced to life on some distant planet where there are no reception bars, ever. (Or maybe it was just a disorderly conduct charge.)

How dare those liberal commie cops interfere with her right! It is a public place, so nobody has the right to tell her what to d...

Oh wait... she's black?

Never mind.

Race doesn't matter here in that she's a fucking obnoxious and inconsiderate idiot. However, for some reason most if not all similar such fucking obnoxious and inconsiderate idiots like her tend to be of a certain race.
 
The video was classic. They had multiple squad cars and even a K-9 unit to escort her from the train LOL.
