My solution was just to put my headphones on and look as sullen as possible. Monday, I rode the train for the first time in a year, and noticed right off the enormous signs everywhere, in addition to the standard "no eating, no drinking," etc., public safety-type signs. They said stupid things like "FOUL LANGUAGE IS OFFENSIVE." Hmmm... not always. And my favorite, "LOUD MUSIC IS LOUD." Well, no shit. And then at the bottom of each of them, it said, "Respect your ride." I wondered if they were a band-aid, but found out, immediately upon my train arriving, that the Metro folk mean business. A security guy would not let some nutjob get on the train because he'd been belligerent. Awesome.
