The 12 most annoying people on the metro

Via: www.bubblews.com

I spend a lot of time travelling on the metro as part of my job and i’ve noticed that there are certain people that I encounter again and again on Madrid’s metro, who really get on my nerves. One thing that irritates me in particular is when I see couples engaging in PDA (Public Displays of Affection = there’s that phrase again).

After many discussions with my friends about these characters and their traits, I’ve decided to put together a list of the 12 most annoying people on the metro. I wonder if you’ll agree..

Selfies & PDAs

Here’s a guy taking a ‘selfie’ with a couple engaging in PDA.

Trending vocab: ‘selfies’ and ‘PDA’

In an earlier post, we looked at how some words, including ‘Selfie’, had been added to the Oxford Dictionaries Online. Well, today the word ‘selfie’ has come up again…

Do you remember what it means? Well, I’ll remind you, just in case:

 

selfie, n. (informal): a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website.

15 Reasons Why You’re Not A Fully Functioning Adult

Recently, I’ve been joking a lot with my friends about how I still don’t quite feel like a fully functioning adult. When I discuss my job, my hopes for the future, my friends’ jobs (doctors, lawyers, bankers, teachers, etc.), I feel amazed that we’re already at this stage of our lives.

The swinging Lindy Hop scene of Madrid and Toledo

Publicado el September 17, 2013 by admin Publicado en Novedades, Weekend Blog, WHAT'S HOT | Deja un comentario  

swing_toledoI don’t want to sound like Ana Botella when I say this, but Madrid really is a city that has a lot to offer. Apart from a buzz on the street that I’ve not quite found anywhere else, the capital of Spain is brimming with a great variety of daytime and late night activities to keep you busy until 2014.

It was in Madrid, for example, that one evening some friends and I went along to a free Lindy Hop (also known as Swing dance) class to try it out. I don’t mean to sound dramatic, but this statement is true: ever since that day, my life has changed for the better.

Ana Botella’s cup of cafe con leche ridiculed

Publicado el September 9, 2013 by admin Publicado en MAGAZINE, Novedades, Weekend Blog, WHAT'S HOT | Deja un comentario  

Ana Botella inspired: Keep calm and café con lecheOver the weekend I couldn’t avoid encountering satirical commentary on Ana Botella’s now infamous speech on Saturday, in front of the IOC (International Olympic Committee) in Buenos Aires. I was even receiving Whatsapp messages about it from my friends in Spain, whilst still in the UK. That’s when you know something is buzzworthy.

It was clear to see that Botella had not only embarrassed herself, but the entire Spanish nation too. In fact, “Plaza Mayor” is still a trending topic on Twitter, 2 days after the speech. That’s not to mention the group on Facebook, A relaxing cup of café con leche in la Plaza Mayor, which has 110K likes.

I was lucky enough last night to have been invited to a private view of a new exhibition opening in London’s Notting Hill. Debut Contemporary hosted the event, so I went along with a friend Chrissy Cant, who works in the art industry. I was very excited, as I knew I was in for an interesting evening with some up-and-coming visual and performance artists.
