Dear Computer Guy,

I am a huge fan of technology, I am. I'm a huge fan of being about to access the internet even if I'm moving around, I'm a huge fan of receiving and sending text messages, I'm a huge fan of laptops in general. But that is besides the point.

You were sitting in front of me on the bus and you pulled out your laptop and turned it on. It only took a moment before your screen blinked to life and you got onto your desktop and opened up a movie-viewing program and started watching a film.

I didn't really pay attention to you at first because you looked so... passive. Dressed smart with a button down dress shirt, pressed jacket that matched your pants, black dress shoes (I sat down first, so I did notice this). You just looked like a young businessman wanting to get home after a day at the office. You were clean cut, no stubble and, last but not least, a gold band on your left ring finger.

As I stated before, I am a huge fan of technology. But if you're going to be watching your pornographic films on your laptop, could you at least turn the volume down or off? Or better yet, plug in a set of headphones?

You had the volume loud enough so that I could hear it over one of the louder songs of the Les Miserables (Original Broadway Cast Recording). I mean, seriously, you had the volume up pretty high.

I thought I was hearing things at first, so I pulled out one of my earphones and then realized that yes, I wasn't hearing things. I looked around and then looked forward and certainly got an eyeful.

I don't have a problem with pornography, I don't have a problem with the people who choose to watch it or choose to be in it. I do, however, have a problem with the people (ie. you) who choose to watch it in public with the volume turned way up when there were children under the age of five on the bus. I mean, I suppose you could claim that it's educational (in a sense), but seeing women being held in bondage and men holding the whips isn't rather educational.

So next time that you feel like getting off on the bus, could you please either wait until you get home, turn the volume off (or down?) or just plug in a set of headphones so no one has to hear the moans and groans of the paid actors and actresses of a pornographic film? It would just be respectful to the people around you.
