Usually what happens is myself and everyone else on the train look at each other, have a shared look of "Morons? Am I right?" and then when that person leaves, we all share a group laugh.

So I guess what I'd say is, if you do this, know that everyone is laughing at you. If you say you don't care, that's a lie, you do care, that's why you're doing what you're doing. This is not positive attention, this is negative attention. Please take a moment and reflect to be a force for positivity and not negativity.

The new trend I’ve noticed, actually is people SINGING/RAPPING along to the music on their headphones, like, fully as if they were the only ones there, while on a packed train.

I mean, i guess it’s better because it’s not as loud as their shitty Bluetooth speaker at max volume peaking like crazy, but it is super weird and very fuckin annoying.

Like, cool, we get it you’re so super confident and think youre as cool as the person you’re listening to in one of their music videos. But you’re not. Because you sound like shit and you’re a dick. Everyone else is getting through this train ride, why the fuck do you think we want to hear YOUR rendition of what you’re listening to? Like, I really can’t decide which is worse. One is way louder but one is way fuckin weirder. People who do either of these are true assholes.

Some guy got stabbed on the subway in Toronto a few months back because he asked a guy playing music to turn it off. It really is a crazy world out there.
