Some people are so nice and thoughtful. They want to bring you happiness at the wee hours of the morning or after you have had a long day at work, so they share their music with you.
Yesterday on the train on my way home I suddenly heard blaring R&B music. The kind of music that really should only be heard in the privacy of your own bedroom. At first, I paid no attention, figuring it was just someone's loud and obnoxious ring tone but it didn't stop. So I looked up to find a pair of hands holding a mobile device responsible for the distasteful music. To make matters worse, whatever that thing was had the worst speakers so the music was so distorted it made your ears hurt. The young lady holding the MP3 player, didn't care. She was really enjoying her music, swaying her hips back and forth to the beat of her music, oblivious of the crowded train and the unfriendly stares. You go girl! But please do us a favor and get yourself a set of headphones.
Speaking of headphones, sometimes those don't help either. The other morning I had to wedge myself in an empty seat flanked by two huge young men. I was hesitant to take that seat but it was the only seat left. So I asked the two gentlemen if they would make room for me and neither one of them acknowledged my request, ignoring the fact that their bodies were spilling over the sides of the seat between them. I managed to squeeze in but I had to sit on the edge of my seat because if I sat all the way back, I would literally be spooning with one of them! I took a deep breathe and just as I was exhaling I realized that their was this high-pitch and frantic sound coming from the gentleman to my left. I stole a look through the corner of my eye and realized that he was listening to rave music through headphones. Rave music at 6 in the morning! Really?! It was so loud I seriously believe the young man is soon to be deaf. Again, thanks for sharing your unfortunate taste in music, but no thanks!
