Please turn it down....

At the risk of sounding like a grumy old man, one of the things that has been really bugging me recently is people who can't be bothered to use headphones when listening to music on their mobile phones in the belief that the rest of the world wants to listen to it. Normally its played really loud and on a very small loudspeaker which makes it twice as bad.

Therefore, I decided to politely ask them to turn it down (i.e off) and both times its had the desired effect, although I hadn't quite expected the young man on the Bakerloo line yesterday to shout its not fair and stomp off down the carriage like Kevin The Teenager
