In what is probably some marketing scheme of a poll, Jet Sleeper, has discovered (big surprise) that London commuters primary source of annoyance is people listening to their Ipods too loudly. After becoming aware of this I finally realized that the cringes of pain I felt on the subway this morning was not a personal hygiene problem, but instead my mind being subject to the loud, yet low quality, rumblings of Eminem's "Lose Yourself" emitted from the iPod earbuds of one of my fellow commuters. Who knew?

The London Paper reports that these harbingers of audial pain rank higher on the irritability meter than people excessively coughing and sneezing, people who read enormous fold-out newspapers and even people who talk obnoxiously loud on their cell phone. Congrats Apple! Another achievement for you. [NME]
