Blog Challenge: 24/25 - Take it away, you fool!

Every once in a while you're in a crowded place with a lot of background noise, and you wind up having to speak a bit loud to be heard over the background noise. On rare occasions you do this right as the background noise drops to a whisper. That's a bit embarrassing, but understandable.

Recently I've discovered a new for of this incident that should be avoidable. I'll be riding on a bus where many people are listening to music. The bus gets on a highway, the background noise gets louder, and so everyone turns up the volume on their players. Sometimes, you're really into the song so you REALLY crank it up.

Then later when the bus gets off the highway and is sitting at a stoplight you're still rocking out, but now everyone on the bus can hear the music leaking out from your ears. They all turn an watch you lip sync along, but you don't notice because you've got your eyes closed and are really whipping that head around.

Then you notice.

Should you find yourself in this situation, just pray that the song you were rocking out to is something respectable and not say... Mmm, Bop! by Hansen.
