Hey guy in a suit leaning up against the door in the train -- just because I forgot my ipod at home today doesn't mean that I want to listen to your crappy music. I can only imagine how loud your music is in your ears if I can clearly make out the beat of the song you are listening to. I am, however, quite perplexed that you are grooving to some type of bizarre techno song that one would only hear at some random secret rave party at 4am. How you just stand there still as a silo rather than starting to dance through the aisle is anyone's guess.
Why do people like the guy mentioned above find it necessary to listen to their music at level 11 out of 10? Are they just trying to psych themselves up for a fun-filled day in a cubicle staring at a computer screen for 8 hours? And why is it that whenever someone is blasting their music for all to hear they are not incredibly embarrassed that we all know what they are listening to?
Case in point - a few weeks ago I was on the usual 8am elevator voyage up to my office when in walks an unassuming well-dressed older gentlemen, I'm guessing probably around 55 years old(and no Amy B -- I did NOT hold the door open for him). Well Mr. 55 year-old must not have realized his music was loud enough to fill up an entire concert hall. What song Mr. 55 year-old was listening to? Sweet Child O' Mine... I let it slide this time because it was much more AMUSING than ANNOYING.
In conclusion, headphones are meant to serve as little mini-speakers for your ears and your ears only. Please TURN DOWN the volume -- and PS, you have HORRIBLE taste in music.
What are some classic run-ins you have had with "guy who listens to his music too loudly"? Comment below.

What's equally annoying to the 'guy who listens to his music too loudly' is the 'girl who sings along to her ipod on a packed train.' Why is it that ipod wearers think fellow subway riders not only want to hear the song they are listening to, but they think that we want to hear that persons rendition from their own voice. No matter how good you *think* you are, no one wants to hear your off key, tone deaf version of Taylor Swifts 'Love Story' as we sit less than an inch away from one another.
ReplyDeleteI fully agree with that one! Keep your voice AND speakers down...I don't want to hear either.
