Woman says she’s too ‘educated’ to be kicked off New York train

Loud cell-phone talkers strike again!

A woman traveling on New York's Metro North train line was recorded by a fellow passenger telling train employees that she is too "well-educated" to be told to quiet down and not use profanity in her cell-phone conversation.

"Do you know what schools I've been to? How well-educated I am?" she asks the train employee, who is seen explaining to another employee that she asked the passenger to stop using the "F-bomb."

"I'm sorry do you think I'm a little hoodlum?" she asks, then demands her money back and dares the conductor to stop the train.

The person who originally uploaded the video to Youtube (who has since removed it) said in the description that the woman "was talking too loud on the train when the conductor politely asked her to keep it down and stop using profanity or to take it to the vestibule." After the altercation, the conductor came on the loudspeaker and reminded people to keep conversations quiet, "especially those people who went to Harvard or Yale or are from Westport."

Last month, a woman was escorted from a quiet car in an Amtrak train by police after she chatted loudly on her cell phone for most of the 16-hour journey, and then became angry when passengers asked her to stop.

I can't see this at work I'm on break though...anyway, what about the lady on the Amtrak train.. was that in New York too, not that it really matters.. I can't stand when people do that, especially foul language .. my daughter and I were going into the grocery store and this lady was behind us on the phone talking and cursing loudly on the phone.. I had to hurry up and get away from her.. I didn't want my 7 year old hearing that mess.. I don't talk like that period on the phone.. I try not to use profane language at all, but when angered, well but where you go to school has no bearing on obeying what the people say about talking like that in public.. and this lady at the store ended up in front of us as we exited the grocery store.. I wanted to run, literally

Unfortunately Iv'e never been to NYC (been to NJ though), but they say New Yorkers are the rudest people in the states and maybe even in the world (my vote goes to the French).

This is when you grab the phone from them and let them know they'll get it back when it's time for them to get off.

Works in movie theatres too.

Until one day someone busts a cap even in that internet tough guy routine.

Anyone on the train is not likely educated enough to not be kicked off.
