TTC: Other Items (catch all)

[Richard White]

Oh good grief. The humanity!

To be fair, I was at Woodbine Station this week and someone was blasting their s***** rap music on full blast from a speaker without headphones.

My understanding is that up and coming artists hire people to do this to promote their music.

There are something like 3000 assaults a year?

Personally I take it often and notice a lot of shady characters. Even the not shady trips are annoying because SOMEONE thinks we all want to hear their tiktok feed or music out loud.

Just because they're "shady" doesn't mean they're bothering you, or anyone else.

You are in a city, other people are going to be making noise around you. I didn't realize watching tiktok on the TTC was equivalent to assaulting someone.

Any other greivances you want to air? I hear festivus is soon.

And what did you say to them?

If you kept quiet, you are part of the problem!

This is the Internet, it's always Festivus...

Me too.

I have noticed the following recently:

• Those who preach the Bible (not actual priests, popes, bishops or pastors) with either drug or mental health issues
• Those who use drugs on the subway
• Those who put back a can of cheap beer on the subway in full construction gear
• Those who try to fight others on the subway for one reason or another without cause
• Homeless sleeping on entire benches of seats
• People rambling and talking to themselves

Sometimes I avoid them but that is not always possible.

One of these things is definitely not like the others. Someone sleeping is scary to you? Hell even someone drinking a beer is a ridiculous thing to be scared of.

The person doing this has already shown they don't care about shame. There have been numerous incidents where someone told them to keep quiet and were attacked. Sometimes fatally. I don't think that's a "normal" case but the few times I've done it they kept playing stuff out loud so the confrontation was for nothing.
