'Well-educated' woman on subway gets too loud, profane on cellphone

Some behavior is criminal, even though it doesn't qualify for jail time.

Case in point: A woman talking loudly on her cellphone on an NY subway line is told by a conductor to quiet down and quit using profanity.

The woman responds by saying, "Excuse me, do you know what schools I've been to and how well-educated I am?"

Evidently, a good education exempts you from rude and disorderly conduct.

That said, she refuses to let it go and goes on a rant, reminding again of her educational background. Threatened with being kicked off the subway, she demands a refund and to be let off at the next stop.

It's captured on video and goes viral. Watch the video, and judge for yourself.

It's amazing how many people think yelling over a cell phone in a public place can be a private conversation! I am fed up with hearing other people's "private" conversations.

'Well-educated' woman on subway gets too loud, profane on cellphone: Well they do on Facebook also only it is typed instead of speech. Very rude, no respect for others.

An Educated person isnt taught that humility goes hand in hand with a good education. Education also doesn't mean that the person has much if any common sense either..Most of the newly educated adults I have met, seem to not only feel intitled to do as they please, they do it at the expense of others. They have a me first attitude and a very rude behavior that makes their education seem irrevalant and lacking.

TO quote my father " any idiot can read a book." Which means just because you can understand what you read does NOT mean you are smart. TOO BAD we can not take all the EDUCATED IDIOTS out of the system and put in AMERICANS with street smart common sense in their place.

wait~ i read the article about common sense being DEAD
apparently respect for others is next.

Yes, educated persons are talking more on the cellphone. I am doing a job and there is my work of tel-calling. So I have spend a lot of time at mobile.
