Once Upon A Train

How do I know for certain that society is falling to pieces?
This week while commuting from the suburbs to London, a fellow traveller ate an apple with their mouth open while watching something noisy on their phone, sans headphones. I wanted to listen to the crunch, crunch, slurp, swallow and the banal drivel from their cursed phone, as little as I wanted to witness their sloppy mouth struggle to contain bits of apple and saliva.
People complain about train strikes, late service and escalating prices but they don’t rail nearly enough about the appalling lack of civilised behaviour we have to suffer on board trains these days. What on earth has happened to decorum?
