WWJD? Call the Manners Police

The BBC has a story called "'Manners police' hit Japan metros."
This is tooo good! You gotta read it.

Some excerpts:

"Badly behaved commuters riding on Yokohama's public transport will soon be risking a dressing-down. Newly appointed "etiquette police" will be asking travellers to turn down their headphones and give up their seats for their elders and betters.
---
"This perceived lapse included failing to offer your seat to pregnant and elderly people, chatting loudly on mobile phones, applying make-up in public, and listening to music on "leaky" headphones.
---
"But many of these enforcers will be accompanied by younger bodyguards, should their etiquette advice - diplomatically given, of course - not prove welcome."

OK, but here's the kicker: There's something similar brewing in Portland! I kid you not. I ran into it just the other day. And I'll tell you ALL ABOUT IT next time I post.
