Yesterday on the subway I really thought about going and standing next to the man playing videos on his phone, with my own phone playing some video at top volume positioned right next to his head. And then, when he looked up at me, looking back at him and saying, "Kind of irritating? Isn't it?"

Maybe I am cowardly because I decided not to. I thought about it for a while though.
