Bus Musings - Disrupted

If alone, I often have philosphical musings whilst on the bus. Not so much on the train, I'm not sure why, but the bus is much more apt. However, yesterday, I was unable to concentrate due to a person nearby me, listening to their iPod (or some other sort of mp3 player). This person obviously didn't know what earphones were invented for. Let me explain. You see, earphones were made so that one could listen to their own music, without making the surrounding people have to put up with what may or may not be horrible music. This person was listening to horrible music, and it was extremely loud. He may aswell have not been using earphones and plugged his mp3 into speakers to share the love. Please, if you are going to listen to horrible music for the whole bus trip (or rather, one long horrible song for the whole bus trip...) do us both a favour and turn down the music 10 notches, 'cause I highly value my rare bus musings (and not so much your bad taste in music), and if the music is loud enough for me to hear, and going directly into both of your ears, you are probably half deaf, or on your way to such a state :) Don't make whoever invented the earphones' hard work be in vain.
