So, I sat two seats from the guy, and got my Dictaphone out, (Yes some of us still use these things), switched it on, recorded him for a couple of minutes, downloaded it to my laptop, then with the laptop volume at 100% played back his conversation. Got a ... look from the guy, and gestured to him my spare cheapo in-ear headphones. So, he gets his own one's out (looked like Bose), puts them on but what was worse was he was still talking loudly (I think even by Americans standard). So, I turned the Dictaphone back on again and I still have the WMA file stored on an old laptop. Maybe I should upload it?

It's even better when they're doing a credit card transaction - reading out aloud the #, expiry, cvv, address, etc.... could have really ruined their day.
