How come MRT staff is so powerless? The boomer has the law on his side?

Once, a boomer sitting beside me was blasting music from his phone. I gave him a thumbs up for his choice of songs.

Actually I hope next time I also can like that, live my life without giving a F about anyone else.
You can only do that where rules are not enforced.

Or where social deviations are frowned upon.

Try this in Japan…

Boomers accustomed to loud music since they were young when they were carrying boomboxes around with music blaring.

Old liao still can't kick the habit.

Means you must be Gen Xer like me.

Those uncles who carried these boomboxes around in the 80s should be around the same age as that uncle on the MRT liao ba.

The boomers expect everyone to enjoy their noise. Also the same boomer that rush for seats and exit
