sand in my shoe

here we are at nearly the end of the first month and here are the things that have been irritating me:

• people who talk at the top of their voices on their cellphones on the train
• people who talk to each other at the top of their voices on the train
• people who play music on their personal devices at maximum volume on the bus
• people who have a formal encounter with you and find it acceptable to suddenly fish out their water bottle for a swig
• gentlemen who run to risque in their taste for jokes and conversation

quite clearly the common theme is human.
