Item 1: Intimidating Thug’s Ringtone
{collector comes around for tickets after a stop, the faint sounds of 50 Cent can be heard leaking out of earbuds in the seat ahead of me}
Cellphone rings. Cue ringtone at volume level MAX: “F*ck the police!…”
This continues for sometime. I don’t recognize the rapper, but he is really, really angry. Kinda like the collector right about now, and most of the train.
Collector: You better turn that off now. Right now. No one wants to hear that…garbage.
Thought I was gonna die, as he may take his ringtone very seriously.
Item 2: Chatty Old People
Old Lady #1: These seats keep getting smaller and smaller! They’re like airplane seats!
Old Lady #2: …Or those new small cars. What’s that thing called? That thing. Yes. The See-on. …Scion. Yes. Some very odd kids drive those cars. They’re square!
