People who use their phone to pay on the underground 18:58 - Nov 6 with 875 viewsCoastalblue

are the new version of old ladies sorting through their purse looking for exact change at the till.

I don't use my phone this way, but is it really not possible to have it prepared before you're stood in front of the barrier with 150 peoploe waiting behind you?

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

Same as Oyster / contactless.

My wife infuriates me rooting thru her bag to find her card approaching the barrier, whereas I've got it in my hand long before the barrier.

Most people I've seen use their phone are able to do so quicker than my wife can find her card.

Very true. It seems to take an age for it to work, especially in subterranean areas of the tube, of which there are many.

But there are also those people who wait to get to the barrier before searching their wallet/purse for their card as if it's a complete surprise that this is going to happen.

It’s people like you that put us provincial hillbillies off visiting London. Next time I’m going to pay in pennies, all buried away in various pockets and bags

reminds me of a couple years ago at an airport in California and a guy trying to scan his boarding pass that was on his Apple Watch. Took him at least six tries to get it to work.

Yeah very irritating I see this a lot when I’m going to work and it’s usually the same people who are on my train everytime.

Even more irritating for me is when you're queueing for a coffee and someone tries to use their phone to pay for a coffee and it doesn't work even after they've tried it 5 or 6 times. Then they stand and look the phone, 'stop looking at your furking phone it isnt going to make it work'. Then you have to wait for them to find a card to use, another 5 minutes while they search in their bag.

At least their coffee has gone cold by then

Oyster cards and bank contactless cards open the gate immediately.

The fools with the smartphones are the problem. When they work they are slow and they often have to be tried a few times. Going through the barrier should be by plastic card only. Using phones slows the whole thing down.
