Thoughtless in Stereo

On the train, suffering in stereo. A lawyer behind me is conducting trillion dollar deals on his phone, and a woman in front of me is detailing relationship problems.

Not in the mood for it, I've asked both to keep it down, and received smiles of appreciation from others. The quiet lasted a minute before their voices crept back up. 

Headphones aren't helping. My best hope for peace is a targeted two-pronged meteor strike.
