Every now and then my train is hijacked by African Christian women bellowing away on full fire and brimstone mode. If you ask them to be quiet they don't listen. If you shout at them to stop they keep on. I could get off and wait 15 minutes for the next train but at times punching them full in the face feels like the preferred option.

Ask them if they have any Chick Tracts, those things are gold.

One time I yelled “I don’t care if I burn in Hell because at least I won’t have to listen to you” but later decided that’s actually what my Hell would be like. Damn.

Have you thought about trying a water pistol?

Have you thought about trying a water pistol? I could go full Schwarzenegger on them and they probably wouldn’t notice.

We used to get heaps of street preachers here, and they would hand out pamphlets, they used to get quite peeved when I woudl tell them I already had that one, can I look through and see what ones I dont have?

Warn them they'll be a lot closer to God by way of preaching under a train if they don't shut the fuck up.

As I said they don’t listen or pay any attention to those who have to endure their sermons which means I have to either kill them and suffer the consequences or suffer through their noise and then write about the experience on a message board.

Consider carrying a tape player/other device that can play, at top volume, a bit of marching band music. With lots of brass.

Catman recommends carrying a cattle prod for use in situations like this.

No Underground (or overground) here but there are those chirpy souls who try to save yours while you are stuck on the checkout line (queue) at Aldi's.
It always seems to be at Aldi's where there are usually only at most 2 checkouts so there is no way to exit the situation by changing lines.
Have to wonder HOW they pick who to chirp at !

I’m increasingly over sensitive to noise (one of my big issues with these preachers) so adding to it won’t do me much good. It would also make me very unpopular with other passengers.

I don’t mind the friendly ones but telling people that they’re going to burn in Hell isn’t very helpful. I once had an encounter with a young chirpy Christian lady while walking along Shaftesbury Avenue and she told me Jesus is here right now. She was so nice I resisted the temptation to ask her which play was he going to see.

Where I lived, the street preachers would stand across from the ABC store with their bullhorns telling us how we were all going to hell for buying demon rum. That would drive me to drink.

That would drive me to drink. I worked with a church going lady once and she needed a bottle of Rock-n-Rye...for medicinal purposes...and she got me to buy it for her because she was afraid someone from her church would see her go in.

Which pamphlet? The one where the Pope is the Whore of Babylon? Quite possibly, I collect Chick Tracts, he was notorious for hating Catholics

That sucks; consider those ear protection thingies that shooters wear. Or start carrying duct tape to threaten to put over their mouths. Or print up T-shirts that say... Silence
