I haaaaate when someone is on public transportation and they playing their music via their phone with no headphones on, or even worse on a speaker! Like we all don’t wanna hear that!

or just generally out in public places and then start scrolling whatever social media and watching videos on full blast. i especially hate it if young kids or elderly folks are around and it’s not something that’s appropriate for them to hear
A few years ago I was on the subway - someone was doing this and annoying everyone. He ignored all the dirty looks. Next stop, a mariachi band stepped on and started playing right in front of him. He was outraged! Much laughter ensued. Felt like divine retribution
It's worse when you are on a hike, enjoying nature and listening to birds, and you cross paths with someone with their phone on blast or lugging a boom box. It's enraging, and surprising how often this goes on.
Oh my God yes, thumping stereos, in houses and cars all day and all night .... It's called wireless headphones / earbuds people .... they are way cheaper than speakers!!!!!!!!!!???
You are within your rights to politely ask him/her/they to stop. Most people are unaware of their social impact and will accommodate those around them.
You can see them scrolling the "for you page/feed"... you want to smack them upside the head that, for you, means not for everyone unfortunate enough to be in the immediate vicinity.
I’m not saying I am crazy or mentally unstable buttt there is this one time where I was so annoyed by this exactly, I just yelled “SHUUSH” and he stopped playing the music with his phone immediately. And we even made brief eye contact 🙃. But at the end of the day problem solved is problem solved 🙂
Phones got rid of headphone jacks and aren't including a compatible wired option. That, plus the fact that they can't (or don't want to) figure out/pay for a Bluetooth option.
Used to be a thing on Sydney buses and worse: the drivers would select their favourite music and play it on the speakers so the whole bus had to listen. Being the nasty person I am I had a go at one, he stopped the bus and conducted a straw poll of passengers who wanted the music, and won. I got off
I don't know why it ceased on buses here, but trains with journeys up to 2 hours to outlying commuter suburbs have half their carriages designated as 'quiet', Applies to long and loud phone conversations, audible music etc. On the whole it's observed.
Someone on my 7am bus to uni, was watching an episode of big bang theory on full blast, could hear every word, every fake laugh of that horrible show. I wanted to throw their phone out the bus window.
Definitely gotta be a reserved spot in hell for people who play music without headphones, and another for those who show up to public transportation smelling like sh*t!
That's just one more reason why I try to avoid "people" as much as possible. As I get older, I've become more introverted. "People" wear me out. "People" have become more feral unfortunately.
hell, even loudly on the phone with someone, i’m dying for some ppl to grow some self awareness. sometimes it’s not surprising how self-centered our country is
I don't have the guts to but I always fantasize about joining their conversation. "Oh I thought this was a public conversation since you're on speaker phone"
I think it is so sad on public transport, to see everyone with their noses buried in their phones! I try not to. I look out at the view, at the sky, at the trees, at the people on the streets💖
Do what I do, I'm a shaman, I'm crazy like that, join in the conversation. Make comments and suggestions. They will learn 👺 Never know you could make a friend. Or maybe an enemy for life, either way interesting right?
Wow I don't care if you're a woman, if you rock out on German metal, you can probably handle yourself. But I hear you this world is unfair in many ways.
I wish I had the power to just change it all. Of course, what's the cost of such power? And would I be willing to pay. Sorry shaman thoughts.

He also had a prominent swastika tattoo.
But when the flight attendant asked him to stop, he did.
No part of that went the way I thought it would.
