I dunno.. if we just assume everyone around us is gonna be an asshole then we can never have nice things. In order to be able to take the subway I'm willing to assume that not every person in the car is gonna blast their personal music preference at max volume. Yes it is possible for them to do that but that doesn't mean it's on me to invent super smart headphones to block that out. At some point, in some cases, "please don't" is in fact a valid security response.
