The scene: 14th street subway station, 3 people standing next to each other buying Metrocards. The author positioned at stage left.
Some guy: ((turning to the middle lady who has what looks like hearing aids on each ear))
Excuse me, do you mind if I ask where you got your headphones??
Lady: ....They're cochlear implants. I'm deaf.
Guy: Omg, I'm so sorry.
