And I hate it. It is by far the loudest most obnoxious experience I regularly put myself through.

Am I the only one?

Frequently I find myself glancing around with a furrowed brow and see people attempting to hold a conversation or even *gasp* talk on the phone. Meanwhile, every time I mash the ‘volume up’ button on my phone I get a government mandated warning.

I travel under the bay - Embarcadero to West Oakland. At some points under the bay or when returning from The Mission there are stretches of what I’ll refer to as a ‘Satan-shitting-a-cactus’ noise that makes me hate my commute.

What a fine way to start and end a work day!
