What's your problem??



This morning my colleague and I took the LRT from Taman Paramount station to work. We sat opposite of this auntie and continued our conversation at a lower voice, well aware that other passengers were napping.
As we were talking, the auntie started to shush us while reading her newspapers. We continued to talk at a lower voice and still she continued to shush us with an annoyed tone & look on her face. Finally after a long "shuu...", she gave up, tucked away her newspapers and pretended to nap. She disembarked at the Masjid Jamek station.
I don't understand what's her problem. It wasn't as though we were talking loudly, and never once over the years did any other passenger had a problem with us. And she was reading her newspapers and wasn't napping, so how did our low-voice conversation disturb her? If she's so sensitive to noises when reading, why on earth was she reading on the train, when there sounds of screeching wheels and announcements from the train speakers? WHAT'S HER PROBLEM??!
