Dear Queenie,
When I was on a bus the other day we were caught in traffic and one of the other passengers started complaining – very loudly – about how long the trip was taking. I just put on my earphones and started listening to music.
Queenie, should I have pointed out that it wasn’t the driver’s fault and asked her politely to please shut up?—Another passenger
Dear Passenger,
It would have been good if you could have moved further away from that loud-mouthed fellow passenger. That not being possible, what you did was quite appropriate. It would not have been a good idea to speak to her, as it probably would just have gotten you involved in an argument with what appears to have been a rather unpleasant person.
