When I got on the bus this morning, Facetime guy from Tuesday and yesterday (again!) was sitting towards the back with his eyes closed, his head resting against the window.
So I sat next to him.
I pulled out my tablet, made sure the keyboard typing volume was set to an annoying level and proceeded to type out my grocery list for the weekend.
I was in the throes of listing all the fruit and vegetables I needed to buy when he shifted in his seat and gave an exaggerated sigh. I ignored him.
When he sighed again (by this time I was listing dairy products), I stopped, closed my tablet and tapped him.
"I'm sorry," I said, "am I bothering you?"
He opened his eyes and asked if there was a way I could turn off the sound.
I asked him if there was a way he could turn off his Facetime.
Later, once the dust settled and we had picked out the glass from our hair, we agreed we'd try to be more conscientious of each other's desire for quiet in the morning.

WooHoo! Passive-Aggressiveness for the Win!
Dear CJ, you are my hero! :D
C.J. For. The. Win.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
I find I do my best work when I'm impulsive.
*golf clap*
Ha!
How long is your daily commute?
You've got balls lady!!
My daily commute is 1.5 hours one way.
PS. Facetime guy and I are on the bus right now and he's watching me type this (making sure the keyboard sounds are off no doubt).
CJ please come and sit next to Mr sniffles on my bus. I'm so grossed out by the percolating snot sounds every morning I want to gag.
Ooh, I hope Facetime guy is behavin' himself too.
Slow clap.
Offer Mr Sniffles a tissue - I did this once and got a big thank you...I couldn't be angry any more. But that was a one-time deal.
Of course if Mr Sniffles does this all the time, he obviously doesn't care how disgusting he is! He may not be embarrassed into bringing his own tissue next time.
Heck, this isn't the guy on LSE 6:12am Oshawa to Union that also chews his nails??? Multiple grossness...
