Stuck at a red light on 36th street, I observed an attractive twentysomething in front of me nodding to the grooves of her earplugs.

She frowned at me and cursed. Upon pointing above at the light above her I exclaimed, "iPod or death!" She squirmed and bolted the other way with R&B blarng from her skull.
