And last night, were it in my power, I probably would have.
I'm not kidding when I say that I had the music on my ipod turned up as loud as I could stand it, couldn't hear the train or conversations around me, but I could still hear the damned gum cracking. (You're new to my journal, this is an occasional major bitch topic for me).
Unfortunately, I don't just hear gum cracking and think "irritating noise"...for some reason, it and certain other sounds actually trigger a reaction that feels like I'm being stabbed in spot right between my neck and my shoulders with nails. (well, that's how I guess it feels, I've never literally been stabbed with nails :-P ) It's really unpleasant, and for some reason, you just can't get on Baltimore public transport and not be subjected to it.
