Not to mention the dangers of making a joke that someone fails to spot, or failing to spot someone's joke and making yourself look like a tit in the process.
But when your gag goes over someone's head, it's a great excuse to post this:
which is often funnier than the original joke anyway.

Sodcasting
I wonder if this has come up before, but sodcasting really really does my head in.
I can kind of deal with it when it's teenagers on the bus, but more and more often I'm seeing people in their 30s indulging in this selfish, self-absorbed behaviour.
There's a cafe down my road which does really nice cakes and stuff, but also does quite nice food ( ie not just sausage and chips and suchlike, but garlic mushrooms and good steak and slightly poncier food than your average cafe).
Problem is there's a guy who goes in with his family nearly every day and treats the place likes his own personal living room i.e. talking really loudly playing music from phones etc. Does my head in! Go home if you want to act like you're at home, While you're out in a public place, let other people eat their f***ing steak without hearing your music.
I know that some people had ghetto-blasters etc in the early 80s, but they kind of died out - you never see people from that era with their music a la Radio Raheem from Do The Right Thing. So why are there people older than me acting like playing music from your mobile is ok? What are other people's opinions on this?

I used to take the train from the burbs into Toronto for work, and the commuter train is a hot-spot for what you have brilliantly coined as "sodcasting." My view on it is that it's fine as long as it's not a morning or evening train. Middle of the afternoon, fine - it's just music. Morning or evening I want to fucking sleep god damn it, and so do most other people.
Cafes or restaurants is just so, so wrong. Then again, I blow blood vessels if I see people still wearing their caps or talking on phones in restaurants.
EDIT: Which raises a new peeve - people who think that it is necessary to answer their mobile phone EACH AND EVERY FUCKING TIME it rings, regardless of where they are or what they are doing.

This is especially annoying when people are being served in a shop. Like at the post office when there is a half hour queue. No, no, don't worry about the 30 people behind you waiting to get served, you just carry on hogging the counter AND having your inane conversation.
Or, as happened yesterday - somebody on the phone at the sandwich counter and also paying by credit card (see me and Idle Rich disagreeing upthread).

People who do that awkward leg-swingy thing while you shuffle into the window seat, so that they keep the aisle seat on the bus. I actually prefer the window seat but I think it's a bit childish to think that you have a choice, just because you're sitting down in your space already. It's easier for everyone if you just shift in one.
I will excuse people who are only travelling a couple more stops. That makes sense for everyone.

yeah i see this shit every day on the train- people sitting in the aisle seat with an empty window seat and not moving over when train is rammed. if you don't want to sit next to someone, don't use public transport.
people who use bags in the same way
fucknuts who play films off laptops on public transport without headphones, generally seem to be males in baseball caps who want everyone else to hear innane gangsta swearing ad nauseum.

Saw one the other day where the guy was sitting in the outside seat and refused to let a woman sit down next to him at all, insisting that instead she took one of the other available (but similarly part-taken) seats, leaving him to have two to himself. She refused to back down and there was quite a big argument with a few people (including me) joining in on the woman's side and being told quite angrily to stay out of what mr unsociable saw as a private disagreement. Presumably because he was bigger and would have been able to have his way if that was the case. Eventually he gave up under sheer weight of numbers and let her sit down beside him so the forces of good prevailed. Must have been a fairly uncomfortable journey for both of them after that though I would have thought.
Sounds like an excellent chap.

I'll admit it - I am a leg-swinger sympathizer.
MY LEGS ARE ACTUALLY TOO LONG. I'm a tall guy, y'see. Being crammed in the window seat is very unpleasant. And I WAS there first.
