I saw this on Dublin bus this morning! Hopefully works!

  1. You’d hope so, but the people who do that kind of thing generally don’t give a fuck about others, and no amount of pleading will change them.

  2. Must be a new campaign they are running. I saw one on a bus this morning along the lines of “Bagged yourself a seat? Don’t be a prick and put it on your lap so someone else can sit down!” or words to that effect.

  3. I used to assault the ticket inspectors on the Luas every morning on the way into work, but then they put those signs up asking people to be kind to staff so I had to stop.

  4. Problem with these government/agency campaigns is they can’t settle on a simple message. The CTA – call to action – on this poster is confusing – the design is not good (not unifying). The image is ok for the 1970s and all the 8 year olds will love it but you won’t catch the eye of any 19yr old metaler belting out Stairway to Glasnevin with that kind of candy faced chumpy character. These campaigns always come over as talking down to people which is not how you encourage good behaviour – the worst ever was the DCC litter campaign that called people ‘scumbags’. The answer is, get a bike.

  5. Dunno if they’ll work, but I really like this whole set of posters. The creepy cutesy Cuphead vibes are a nice change from the blandly corporate PSAs you usually see, and it’s fun to see that aesthetic applied to very modern devices.

  6. It’s wild that the signs are even required. Will never understand the absolute plonkers out there blaring tunes from the phone. I’d be terrified of someone judging my choice of music.

  7. It won’t work. These people are pig ignorant. I live with one.

    No matter how many times you say the bin needs to be changed out when full they still overfill the bins. No matter how many times you say to take it easy slamming the door in the mornings/nights they eventually go back to the old ways.

  8. It’s half-hearted. It’s signage on an advert slot that can expect to not last the year. There’s been a need for permanent signage (think less Eurosaver menu ad, more No Smoking) since at least as far back as there were show-offs with ghettoblasters in the ’80s.

  9. It won’t make the slightest bit of difference to the ignorant arseholes who actually do it. They don’t have the self-awareness to see that sign and think ‘oh might that be about me?’

  10. I will eventually be driven to the point where I go sit beside a dick who thinks we all want to listen to their shite and start singing along, very badly.

    Most recent example was a woman watching Netflix without headphones. Kids were with me so I wasn’t inclined to keep things quiet, her daggers were as blunt as fuck when she tried side eye us.

  11. Can we have one for no smoking hash and keeping the windows open next, every morning on the malahide road is either a hotbox or a sweatbox or both

  12. Was on a bus a while ago and some lad started playing shitty techno from his phone. Few people looked around at him clearly pissed off but said nothing. One girl got up and told him that there was people trying to study and sleep and to put in headphones or stop playing his music. There was a good few people watching and he stopped straight away. A lot of the time people will stop when someone confronts them but we’re really bad at confronting people here

  13. ahh the people that do this sort of stuff are the kind that if you politely ask them to turn the music down will actually turn the volume up even more, really hard to change that sort of mentality

  14. I just thought about this.. I wonder if this annoyance became more frequent after phone companies decided to stop including aux ports on their phones. I know it’s still not an excuse.

  15. Now plaster them all over Sligo to deter the first year roadmen wannabes from blasting shitty remixes in public on a Bluetooth speaker from Wish.

  16. The only way this sign would work is if the little shitbags who do this shite receive a free disposable vape and information on who their fathers are.
