Three Facts:
1) Some guy was annoyed in the bus because the woman next to him was texting and he asked to stop texting in a polite way.
2) The responser to this situation thought that it was wrong for him to say something like that because texting is way more less annoying than talking.
3) A strained relationship between people are hard to restore if both of them doesn't try.
2 Questions:
1) Why would the guy in the bus think the texting sound was annoying? It's such a common thing.
2) What would have the woman thought of the man when he asked her to stop texting?
1 Opinion:
I totally agree with the responser to the guy's question. He seemed a little odd. I mean, is texting really that annoying, especially when you're in a bus crowded with people? Hmm..

Vocab:
1) onslaught: a fierce attack
2) bonhomie: cheerful friendliness
I think that it was rude of him to ask that because it is her own space but she should have been more conscientious about how she was acting.
