Bus loonaticks

This month have encountered at least four weird people when taking the bus, two of which was in the space of less than 1 week.

One was listening to music, really loud music.

One was trying to make music, really awful music.

One was mumbling incomprehensible words, punctuated by really loud "MATI!" and "DIE!" (they mean the same thing) for at least 40 minutes straight. (He was still going at it when I got off the bus)

One was humming a song in an undechiperable language, that got louder as time goes by.

This reminded me of a post I read somewhere where a person felt that her 'personal space' was being violated when another person in the cinema asked her to stop discussing the movie so loudly. Isn't she also violating other people's 'personal space' with the inecessant chatter?

Frankly, I am at a loss of what to do in this kind of situation. Asians are generally stereotyped as passive, while I think actually it is more of a "Face" thing. On top of that, I am not confrontational in nature. But, should I even give face to someone who's obviously not giving the rest of us any?

The guy yelling DIE! obviously has a screw loose somewhere, unless he's a plant by Candid Camera, or a P.H.D. student doing a thesis on how people react to a raving madman. At least the 'loud music guy' was playing some pretty good Japanese ones...
