I work for a public transit agency and deal with passenger complaints throughout the day as well as ride to and from work on my own service. People get crotchety and complain about what others are doing all the time. That's what makes the IPod such a god-send for Public Transit users. We don't have to listen to others on their cell phone calls or listen to the snarfling snorer who can't wait to get home to bed. Smelly folks are another story. I'm annoyed by perfumes and stale cigarette smell and then there are the other odiferous compounds that emanate from people much to everyone else's consternation! But the bottom line is that it's "PUBLIC" transportation and everyone needs to understand that there is a certain level of annoyance they simply have to accept. There are courtesy issues that can be addressed by the agency, but many people cannot tolerate others regardless. Our private car culture has made many us pretty intolerant of others across the board. Those who want all their particular wants and needs catered to should call a limosine service. Jay,

Most folks on the bus are really just trying to get to their destination in one piece. That includes not getting their emotions fragmented by listening to other people's conversations and/or music. As a whole, we each need to step a little outside ourselves and learn that we are not each entitled to think and behave as though "I am the most important person in the world". Courtesy makes the world a little nicer for both the courteous and those being shown courtesy. Thanks for reminding all of us. Jay – thanks for finally getting it.

Just to clarify a couple points then I am out.. 1. I only hummed a couple notes 2. I have my music turned down enough that I can hear the bus driver when they are speaking, so my music was not too loud 3. Taste in music, yeah it sucks a bit.... You all are great!

A punch in the face is what you deserved. What you perceived as 'rude' was probably the 10 time a passenger asked you to zip it. And if you couldn't hear them im sure they those near you could hear that awful noise spilling out from your ears. You sir are a twit.1- You listening to a i-pod. 2- you have bad taste in music. 3- Your sharing you bad taste to the poor captive occupants of the bus. 4- You somehow have the audacity to think your in the right.

That is why headphones are required...to make the ride quieter and more pleasant for everyone else on the bus. What I find even more annoying is when people talk LOUDLY on their cell phones. It ranks up there with music so loud you can hear it even with the headphones on. Thank God those chirping walkie talkies are no longer the thing to have...those were the worst. It's all about respect and common courtesy. Take a shower, turn your music down, don't cuss and enjoy the ride!

Sorry. One thing you are right about however: you are not playing Obama. You exhibit nothing in common with him. Jay: Non-smoker is right and you are not. Sorry.

If so, it's no wonder people were begging for its quick termination. Did the humming have that signature Dave Matthew’s perpetual cold/stuffed sinus sound to it?
