And for some reason the cell phone call is more annoying than just 2 people having a loud conversation on the train (not by much though) - perhaps is b/c you only hear one side of the conversation. Anyway, since their activities invade my personal space so to speak, would it be bad form to simply bang on the back of their seat repeatedly during the phonecall? I mean, I'm not actually touching them and my banging would be within the confines of my seating area.
