Normally, when a commuter is loud, obnoxious and rude on the train, someone will eventually say something. The exception is when a person is so offensively heinous that the crowd is stunned into dumbfounded silence.

That's what happened with this fowl creature: She was wearing too much make up, too much jewelry -- too much everything!  She yammered on the phone for most of the trip from Roslyn to Jamaica, where she thankfully got off the train to go haunt someother group of people.

We were all stunned by the sheer horror that was her horrendous nonstop voice. Once she got off the train, the spell was broken. Everyone around her broke into conversation about  how awful she was.

What made this such a miserable experience was the combination of her voice -- I only wished it was as mildly irritating as fingernails on a chalkboard -- and the language she spoke. Another passenger who knew her said it was Farsi.

Her voice goes a long way towards explaining the tensions in the Middle East. If I had to listen to this 24/7 I would not only get an automatic weapon, I'd use it constantly. Here's a source of the tensions in the Middle East, transposed to our little neck of the woods:
