Ipod Idiots on the Bus
What is wrong with these ipod idiot users on the bus? Its a personal listening device not a public one, turn it the F** down. If I can hear your music (lyrics, bass, fiddle music and all) across the bus or in the back of the bus and your in the front, gu

You tried nice, did you?No..i’m quite certain that you tried stupid.Yes, ‘stupid’ is the word which best describes this bitch. First of all, you have the grammar skills of an 8 year old. Reading your post, i found it hard to take you seriously..learn how to spell, damnit. So tell me, did the ‘nice’ approach involve you asking any ipod users to simply turn down thier volumes? It might not get you much more than a dirty look, but if i had to take a wild guess, i’d say that it would likely be more effective than the gramatical masterpiece you’ve done here.
To K.BosskiYou have missed the point. Majority of Ipod users on the Bus play their music too high.First: I was trying to point out the constant misuse of Ipods on transit buses. I thought an irrate blog might get people to think before playing their ipods too high and disturb others.Second: I was not trying to create a grammatical masterpiece. I suffer from Dyslexia. Oh check your grammar, my English Teacher indicated that your I’s be an uppercase “I” not a lowercase “i”. I guess you must of hit the wrong key like I have when typing.Third: Did you think I did not ask for the volume to be turned down? I used the words please and thank you. Responses I got was as follows: “FU”, Laughed at, Music turned up higher, Ignored.So if you have any positive suggestion on how to deal with this I am more than happy to listen.Metro Transit is Useless, Bus drivers do not want to get involved.
No, i got the point..hence my suggestion to ask people to turn thier tunes down.If that hasn’t worked, i suppose there isn’t really much more you can do. Drivers don’t want to get involved? Well, that’s no surprise..most of them seem to interfere with passengers only when completely unnecessary. There used to be a girl who took the same morning bus as me, and every day without fail, she’d have that fucking ipod turned up so loud that it would drown out the sound coming from my own headphones. Eventually, all i could do was turn my volume up a little higher, and even then sometimes i could still hear her shitty techno, or whatever. So, i suppose you could try listening to some music of your own, because most people don’t care if they’re bothering you with the sound of thiers.And please, give your English teacher the ‘Thumbs Up’ for me. You’re right..i must HAVE hit the wrong key! Boy oh boy..And about your Dyslexia, I was harsh, and i appologize.
To K.bosskiThank you for appology and suggestion.
I’ll turn my ipod when you can shut the mouths of the all the prostitots, thug fucks & screeching children. Till then, please, bite my ass.
