She Was Just Talking With Her Husband on a Greyhound Bus — Another Passenger Demanded They Stop So She Could Sleep

Magnific/Reddit
Riding a public vehicle means riding with people who talk to each other.
In this story, a woman was riding a Greyhound bus with her husband and, of course, they were having a conversation.
Another passenger with a companion and a baby came up and asked them to stop talking.
The passenger complained that their conversation was too loud and was keeping her from resting.
Seriously? Do you think that was a reasonable request? Read the full story below to find out more.
AITA got talking during a bus ride with my husband?
I’m sitting quietly on the bus right now, just in case I was the jerk.
We’re taking a Greyhound bus from NYC to Baltimore.
This woman came on the bus with another woman and a young baby.
Right now it’s 9:20 pm, and she just asked my husband and I to stop talking so she could get rest.
She said we were “too loud.”
This woman thought the other lady’s request was unreasonable.
We don’t own a car and take public transit often.
We weren’t being loud, we spoke at a normal conversational tone.
My issue with this is that her friend with a baby is literally crying loudly right next to us.
So I feel like it’s unreasonable to say that our conversation is the reason that she can’t sleep.
She wanted to keep talking to her husband.
AITA if I keep talking to my husband?
I’m already bored scrolling on Reddit and it’s early as hell.
I imagine turning on the light to read the book would be a genuine jerk move.
So otherwise, I guess I can just brainrot until midnight.
Come on! That’s public transportation, and talking in public is not a crime.
I don’t think OP was unreasonable for wanting to have a normal conversation with her husband on a public bus.
If the other woman wanted some peace and quiet, they could have booked a taxi or a ride-sharing car.
