Forced to eavesdrop!

Some people can be really loud in public. They sit right in the middle, in a subway or bus and talk all their personal issues, and that too so very loud. A few weeks back there was this Indian guy on the bus, talking in Hindi so very loudly. The whole bus could hear it. The rest of them must have been pretty bugged. As a language it made sense to me obviously though it was painfully loud and it was about some cell phone model this guy went on and on about (he didnt make any sense either). But to hear a foriegn language spoken loudly is mostly irritating. Atleast I tend to cringe a little when I hear people talking in a couple of specific languages I dont understand, to be very honest.
Today was ultimate, this really obese lady yelling out on the phone to some Gym instructor that she needs to really excercise and lose weight and, no one in her family should know! Okkkk, (everyone was rolling their eyes, and exchanging glances) who the heck is interested? I dont know if these people are strange or simply have a 'dont-care' attitude or are attention seekers, whichever, but surely the loud discussions are not appreciated.
