Lmao, I remember we had a struggle session about this back in the olden times, people were unironically doing the "fuck you I do what I want" thing arguing for this kinda shit lol

NO GODS

NO MASTERS

NO ESCAPE FROM YOU HAVING TO LISTEN TO MY PHONE BLASTING GARBAGE ON PUBLIC TRANSIT

This. I'm autistic and get over stimulated by loud noise and crowded spaces. Can we not just try to be a little more considerate. This seems like a really small ask.

I agree with this. I think what the defenders are missing is that this is happening in a confined space and people are essentially forced to listen to whatever’s blaring out of your phone. If this was happening like in a park or on the street and no one had to stand by you it wouldn’t be a problem (at least not for me).

If people really need to listen to their phones there should be designated quiet cars, talking cars and loud cars or something

extend this to every public place tbh. feels like every other time im in a waiting room some asshole is very loudly playing a mobile game on their phone or a boomer is watching youtube videos with the sound on. i dont remember this being such a problem even just a few years ago.

I saw a new variant of that a bit ago.

There was a guy who watched porn with headphones on in the train, but the headphones weren't connected so the sound came out of the phone.

we've had this struggle session before.

if you are blasting loud music in an area where people can not escape/have to use to for transportation: you are the bad guy. that's the end of it. we didn't all come here for a party. Nobody likes your music. we are trying to get home. please shut the fuck up.

I can't think of them as anything other than psychopaths or narcissists.

They never spare a thought for anyone other than themselves and are totally self-absorbed in what they want, they disturb people around them and feel nothing about it. We're all NPCs populating their word, at most we only exist if we're useful to them.

BIG AGREE this stuff is probably the most irritating thing I have to deal with daily. College can be a nightmare sometimes.

harsh but fair

There are so many boomers that don't know how to watch TikTok or Reels without blasting it straight from the phone.

Getting into Hexbear heaven:

No,it's fine,I just didn't think it'd be a struggle sesh is all

Sidenote:You can tell how Yankee this site is by seeing how many people can't fathom the idea of common decency that doesn't align 100% with their own preferences

Everybody can agree that auto-playing videos on like news sites or whatever are annoying. Well, the same goes in confined apaces
