Tangled truths

It is a truth universally acknowledged that if you get your iPod out to listen to on the Tube, the earphones will be tangled. You will then spend all the time that you intended to spend listening to your chosen music fiddling with tiny wires. Which will then somehow get themselves even more knotted than they were to start off with.

By the time the wires are untangled you have either reached your destination or have been so involved in your task that you have actually gone past your stop.

Either way, you now don't have the time to listen to the music that would have let you arrive looking like (and listening to the appropriate soundtrack for) the stylish person you want to show the world you are.
