NYC subways are the nastiest places in the history of the planet. Especially on a Friday night. Seriously. I was not only yelled at by a drunk homeless dude for not having cigarettes on my person because I don't smoke, but was then asked for change. Then was asked again for change by another homeless dude seconds later... all the while wearing my headphones to purposely shut out the world. What the fuck! By rule of thumb, you genuinely never speak to a person who is sporting a pair of head phones unless said person is about to be brutally murdered or is on fire. And unless you are doing the murdering you should still never speak to a person wearing head phones. They cannot hear you. Its that way for a reason.

point to your headphones,
shake your head,
and mouth the words, "i can't hear you."
