I can’t remember the last time I ever used ear buds but I do get pissed off with people on the train who insist on listening to music really loudly. I don’t know what their motives for doing this is but it might be because they want to drown out surrounding noises. Or perhaps not. I think they might just be arseholes who don’t care that they’re pissing people off with their shitty music. If I listened to the shite that these people listened to I wouldn’t want other people to know!
