    I’ve been stuck on a train with a girl wearing headphones and singing along to Savage Garden. We all suffered.

    She was even shutting her eyes tight and doing these ones…

    If you’ve ever listened to just the vocals of a song without music, it was that, but also awfully off-key because she, of course, could not hear herself. Obnoxiously, I think she thought she was putting on a performance we were all impressed by. No one was impressed.

        Following the sudden and catastrophic collapse of their bodily edifice, the faint crack of a sniper shot cut through the relatively short moment of peace and serenity only to resume forthwith.

      Ungh my manager at my last job did that shit all the time. Infuriating, because I wasn’t allowed to have headphones (inbound tech support), and it was really distracting when I was on a call.

      And just like, so incredibly rude, who the fuck does that??

        That’s exactly how it felt. Like her imagination had daydreamed the scene long enough, it was time to put it out to the universe and be approached by all those agents and producers crammed in the commuter carriage of the inner south line.
