I was just reading a reply to my trip report and read through my report again.
One thing I didn't mention was on my CHI-DEN route, after boarding and the train got moving...I was riding along, looking at the sights and kept hearing music. This went on for quite some time. Pretty soon this music seemed to get louder and was a hard rock type.
Annoyed, I just stood up and turned around and said "who has the music playing?" :angry2: I wasn't very nice about it. Of course everyone looked up, the seats were not full. Finally a guy said, "huh, what music?". I said "I can hear someone's music and I don't like hearing it and I don't think everyone else does either, could whoever it is please turn it down". It was his music, he had the earbuds in but the music was still loud. He apologized, turned it down and I thanked him.
As I sat and thought about what I had done, I hoped it wouldn't cause problems with this guy. And thought probably should have used a different tone. It's really not like me to do something like this, maybe I was feeling high and mighty after the cruise
On a smoke break, there he was. I apologized to him and said it was not my intention to embarrass him but the music was loud and I could not tell where it was coming from. He said it was okay.
Later in the trip he comes walking by and points at me and says "you are the most noisy of all of us". What the heck!?
This was a smoke break and he was out there so I questioned him on what he said. He said I was very noisy, my phone beeping all of the time, my texting sounds, I did not hear this noise. I told him I was not using my phone, it was on vibrate, it was not me. It didn't seem like he believed me.
That was all that came about except I found out he was getting off in Denver too
My point...please make sure your sound is down on whatever you are listening to.
Another point. Don't be a me, I think telling the attendant or a conductor is a better way to go. You just don't know about people. And yes, I started it :blush:
