Unfortunately that can be suicidal. I've seen near fights break out when someone asks someone else in a polite manner to tone down the convesation. People who don't care how loud or annoying they may be to other people will not react in a rational manner.This also goes for ringtones. Once on the D express run from 36th to Pacific, a middle-aged man politely asked a young woman to refrain from playing the same tone she'd been playing over and over since 71st or 79th Street. Not only did she become abusive, but her two male friends and another couple of teenage girls NOT EVEN WITH HER ganged up on the guy. When he got off at Pacific, they FOLLOWED him. Since nothing was in the news that night or in the paper the next day, it must not have escalated too much. But one day there's going to be a stabbing or shooting. There's been over less. |
