Burstin' my eardrums
I felt a twinge in my head every time I used the ticket barriers at Central Station at the country platforms end, and for a long time it drove me insane. But I’ve finally worked out what it is. The honchos at CityRail are using young peoples’ superior hearing against them. This is so diabolically scheming it actually makes sense. I mean, have you ever noticed young’uns getting up to no good within the vicinity of the ticket barriers? Nope. And the frequency of my passing through there makes up for the non-scientificness of this observation.

What’s really insidious is that it seems to be targeted at that square footage of real estate right outside the ticket barriers and nowhere else. So if you’re at the far end of the plaza, at the arch entrance to the station, you won’t hear a goddamned thing. Walk in a little further after a long day, and BAM. You’re hit with lethal high-pitched dose of über-annoyance. Old people and hapless tourists with luggage are of course unaffected. Notice also that the Hungry Jacks and Krispy Kreme areas are unaffected by this repellant cacophony. Tinfoil hat tells me that somehow they’re tight with CityRail on this one.

I haven’t noticed it… maybe I’m much further down the path of oral degradation than you are…

It’s quite distinctive. Maybe you’re too harried/tired/distracted
