Lesson #20- Don't pick your ring tone

Oh the ring tone! A new development in our day and age to really set anyone apart from anyone else - to bring out the uniqueness in everyone so to speak. Since I am all about being unique, you would think that I would have no problem with people having different ring tones and taking the time to pick them out. Well I did have a problem with a certain female sitting right next to me on the train last night. She was sorting through her ring tones, trying to pick her perfect one at FULL BLAST a mere inches away from my ear! It was midnight! On a train full of people! Who does that?

Did she really just not care? Did her total lack of awareness and disregard for human beings not bother anyone else? It sure looked that way, because I was the only one who seemed like I had a problem with her selfish self sitting there, clicking from one ring tone to another. And it's not like they were even good ones, which would still make it totally wrong, but would at least make it a little more bearable to sit through the next four stops. And it's not like the stars were aligned in my favor that night and she would get off at the next stop. No no. In fact, I was so lucky that night that when I got ready to get off at my stop, so did she. So, for four stops I heard ding ding ding, ring ring ring, jingle jangle etc etc ETC!!!

I don't even know what else to say, except that I hope I never have to experience that again. 

So there you have lesson #20. Simply put, have some general regard for the people around and refrain from picking your ring tone on the subway.
