Conversation overhead on public transport goes viral for important reason

“Katie, if you don’t mind, I’m going to go into my head for a bit.”

I don't know about you, but if someone tells me to shut up, my instinctive response is - to put it lightly - fairly negative. It just comes across pretty rude, doesn't it? However, an overheard a conversation has shown that you don't always need to respond as if the request is a slap in the face. Twitter user Corinne Sullivan's example shows that sometimes your talking can be an unwanted encroachment on the person you're talking to. And sometimes we all need a bit of me time, y'know? https://twitter.com/corinnzo/status/982961994067259393?tfw_site=indy100&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.indy100.com%2Farticle%2Fconversation-subway-public-transport-corinne-sullivan-viral-twitter-own-space-8298376 https://twitter.com/NerdyPam/status/983022063471349760 https://twitter.com/corinnzo/status/983030095324614657 The tweet got quite the reaction on social media as people feel that more of us should be giving others headspace. https://twitter.com/eddieb2/status/983541451106803713?tfw_site=indy100&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.indy100.com%2Farticle%2Fconversation-subway-public-transport-corinne-sullivan-viral-twitter-own-space-8298376 https://twitter.com/mygreydreams/status/983610486896971777?tfw_site=indy100&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.indy100.com%2Farticle%2Fconversation-subway-public-transport-corinne-sullivan-viral-twitter-own-space-8298376 https://twitter.com/applesplatter/status/983604377775681538?tfw_site=indy100&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.indy100.com%2Farticle%2Fconversation-subway-public-transport-corinne-sullivan-viral-twitter-own-space-8298376 So there we have it. Next time you want someone to quit their yapping and close their piehole for a goddamn second, just tell them you need to 'go into your head for a bit' - apparently it works a treat.
