FX Pet Peeves

1. Inconsiderate co-passengers that play loud music on their mp3 players. - I don't understand how some people can listen in such a very loud volume. Very loud volume means that even the other passengers can clearly hear the song being played. It makes me think that they should not have bothered using earphones if they wanted to share music to everyone inside the public vehicle. The thing is, the experience of hearing music straight from a speaker (i.e. car radio) is different from hearing it second-hand from earphones. The latter proves to be such an irritating ordeal.

2. Inconsiderate co-passengers that tell their romantic lives in loud voices. - Can it be considered a violation of right to freedom of speech if I wished for my co-passengers to speak in small voices during their conversations? It's puzzling how some can act like they want everyone to know of their affairs and make them a public concern, really.
