Well done that man

Sitting on the train in to London the person behind me put their ear plugs in and turned up the volume. As we all know that is extremely irritating. After about 2 minutes I was just about to crack and ask them to turn it down when someone else stepped and beat to me to it. To be fair the person did turn it down without argument.

I reckon the problem is that those using portable devices don't realise how loud they are and therefore need to be told when it is intrusive to others. .

 

PS I use and iPod but most of the time it is the spoken word but if it is too loud I would like to be told.
