Phone Deaf?

It seems to me that those people who travel on trains, and carry their latest mobile phone models are all afflicted by a similar ailment. They are what may be described as "Phone Deaf".

I sat on the train last night coming home from work, and was continuously assaulted by all manner of ever increasing ringtone volume. Why do these new phones ring louder and louder each time? Come to think of it why do these phones not actually ring at all? Phones in my opinion should not play tunes, but actually ring.

Having ascertained that the polyphonic version of the latest Eminem hit or Beethovens 5th Symphony which is presently causing other travellers to don ear defenders, these phone deaf people then take another age to look at the display and see who it is that might actually be phoning them.

"Ello, ohh its you..." (I thought they already knew) " I'm on the train..." (they would be wouldn't they).

They then proceed to discuss stuff like: What's for dinner, I am on the 7.34, Should be home by 8.25 (same time every night!). Am I the only one who prefers not to have my phone ring? I put mine on silent. Perhaps the answer is for the train operators to provide no-phone carriages?
