You're on a train in a nice quiet carriage when someone decides to start playing music at top volume on their phone in the next row of seats. It's not even good music, just some indecipherable, nondescript pap/rap/chart nonsense. They're quite clearly aware of you but simply disregard your comfort to blast their unutterable crap into your lugholes for minutes on end.
It would be easy to confront them, cause a scene, shame them into recognising the basic requirement for good manners, social awareness, a simple regard for their immediate surroundings - or even perhaps the mere use of headphones.
But who needs all that on their way to work? What is the correct course of action in these sorry circumstances BBSers? And yes, I am on the train, since you ask. And yes, this did just happen - for the second time this week. I fear an epidemic so instruction is required.
