France recently added streaming TV services to their mobile phone networks...

which seems like an interesting idea until you have to share your daily half-hour bus ride to/from work with a bunch of loud teenagers on their way to/from school!

A couple of them have just got new phones... and I think you can guess what this means.

Yep - music videos and cartoons have started to cut through the screaming and giggling that was already so annoying. If we're really lucky, there are two or three playing at once!

Not only are these annoying sounds in the best of circumstances, in a bus they're annoyingly loud and annoyingly distorted as well. Honestly... they sound like crap!

Maybe I'm an old fogey, but I have to say that I really would like this to get banned! This is just so much worse than people with headphones...
