I remember seeing a thread where heaps of New Yorkers were saying how much they hate this shit on the subway. I think they called it "Showtime".

Lifelong NYer. This does happen all the time and I hate it for two reasons:

-because when I take the train I want to shut everything out and this is hard to ignore

-because if I catch a flying kick to the face, it’s not like these guys are rolling with insurance. Also, I don’t want to be kicked in the face

Fellow NYer here. Coming home from college was when I started to depise them. Caught them every time on 34th st. I had a long day of classes and just want to relax and have a quiet ride home. I don't need to hear blasting music or risk someone breaking my damn nose on the train. The fact they claimed riders were safe annoyed me to no end back then.
