Default Underground Train Drivers and Personal Hi Fi's

It was the two wires dangling down from his ears that gave the game
away. He needs to be disciplined for stupidity alone. At least use a
hifi with black wires, not light grey, they stand out like a sore
thumb. The train number was 275.

Certainly he was breaking the rules by using a stereo, and acting
stupidly by doing it in view of the public. But what harm was he
really doing? Its not like he was driving the train, the Victoria line
is run automatically. If he's caught, he'll almost certainly get the
sack. Why do you feel its such a big deal that you're prepared to
report him, announce his train number so he can be identified, and
cause him to probably lose his career, yes for breaking the rules, but
not in anyway thats going to cause any harm to you. Why are people so
desperate to report any misdemeanor even when basically its got
nothing to do with them. Just think of the consequences of identifying
him. To you he might just be an anonymous railway employee, but no
doubt he's got dependants to support. You are directly risking his
livelyhood, even if he was acting stupidly in the first place.
