Musicians on the Subway
Every day someone will come on the subway for purposes other than traveling. One third are people who tell a story of misfortune and ask for spare change from the riders. Another third are people who awkwardly sing or play an instrument for about 30 seconds, then walk around with a hat or can for change. The remaining third are people who sing or play an instrument well, who sometimes walk around with a hat or can, but seem to be playing because they like doing it. The musicians who do their thing because they like it are nice to have on the subway. The others are annoying. Then there is that guy with the bongos who likes what he is doing, doesn't ask for money, and should absolutely be forbidden from making all that racket and turning my trip home into a ride on a torture wagon.
