I'm sorry is it part of the culture I'm suppose to respect? Yesterday I rode the bus from Espoo to Helsinki in the evening, and there are a group of 4-5 teenagers. They were screaming at each other, blasting music, facetiming their friend and cursing after every single sentence 'vittu' 'paskat' something ... they were lousier than a club at peak hour. But nobody said anything, all 10+ people on the bus. The lady in front of me, clearly annoyed. She sometime turned her head around then leaning to the window like she didn't care. Some passenger when left the bus turned around and gave them the annoying look. But nobody did anything.
After 15 mins, I couldn't take it anymore and shout at them to keep their voice down (in English). They eventually laughed a bit but they lowered their screaming and music (still a bit loud for me). But even then my girlfriend was holding my hand back like I shouldn't have done that. I mean how can people even endure that? Why isn't anyone says anything? And I saw a lot of teenager basically having a screaming contest on public transport all the time.
