It's infuriating and I don't understand how anyone is ok with doing it.
If I'm walking back from the pub I'll play something out loud and audio book etc.
If I start approaching people i turn it off until I'm out of their earshot again.
In an enclosed space public transport etc i think we should be allowed to smash their devices
Why don't you use headphones? Why doesn't anybody use effing headphones?
Modern headphones are so much better than any way of listening to music there has ever been, and yet people still use their tiny phone speaker loaded with microscopic metal shavings, dust and skin oil clogging it. It's unbelievable, really.
I blame Apple. They removed the headphone-jack, and suddenly access to headphones went from "included" to "buy our expensive AirPods". Other brands went with it too. I guess this increased cultural tolerance for 'loud-watching' in public, presumably starting with kids (who it would be wasteful to buy AirPods for, seeing how easy it is to lose them). Unless everyone had perfect manners, this result was inevitable.
Believe it or not any Bluetooth headphones work with iPhone's and androids, no body has to buy expensive air pods, 30$ Bluetooth earbuds work equally well for most people's needs
True. But at the very least, get a dongle or wired earphones that directly connect to the phone (usb-c earphones exist, not sure about lighting connector). They are also not too expensive, compared to wireless earphones.
My mom said she doesn't use headphone because it causes "ear damage" or some shit xD
Wanna come over to my house?¹
You wanna hear the WeChat and shitty boring cringy drama shows on loudspeaker?
¹/joke, not an actual invitation
Because I'm at the pub with my friends, not bringing headphones that I will lose because I'm a drunkard
Because fuck public decency and fuck you is the motto these days.
