Being off work so close to Christmas is truly strange. I have had a
rare and unwanted chance to study the species teenager, aka
disaffected youth. The bus appears to be their main habitat and it is
filled with sound being spewed from tinny mobile speakers. Most of the
teens are using their outdoor voices, the default setting of the
species.
They sit one to two seats twisting backward to talk to their
friends sat behind them. In this way ordinary folk are forced to sit
beside them. My ipod dulls their din but nothing can drown it out
entirely.
