Here is an open letter to the woman sitting behind me at the Bach Musica concert last weekend:

You might have noticed that in the second half of the concert, there was a radius of four empty seats all around you in the crowded concert hall. That is because you jangled your charm bracelet right through the first half of the concert, ruining the experience for the many people who were sitting near you. People who had paid good money to hear the performance of a work with no charm bracelet part. You were well aware of the fact that you ruined the concert experience for those people, because I informed you of the fact using polite sign language which you clearly understood. Had you not understood you would have given me a quizzical look rather than a blank, self-righteous one. For future reference, wearing a charm bracelet to a concert does not give you any moral high ground, nor will it improve people's opinion of you, despite the fact that you think it makes you look and sound a bit zany. For example, I think you are an odious hag.

Yeah. So if any of you readers know the woman who was sitting behind me at the Bach Musica concert, please direct her to this web site or give her a copy of the letter. That would be sweet.
