Seems reasonable.

We old people were raised well, dammit! We had wired earphones! Then Apple cocked up and tried to make expensive wireless earphones fashionable. And look where that lead us. That's right, kids not knowing what earphones even are. Fuck you technobros, you can't do anything right.

This person should text-to-speech this tweet on public transport

Yea, sometimes when I'm out in public, I like to listen to music on speakers. Sorry if it's a mild inconvenience you have to HEAR something as we pass by each other. God forbid, yall need to lighten up.

I get being aggravated about people blasting music on a bose speaker in a bus or train (I used public transit in L.A. for years). But just enjoying my day sitting somewhere or going on a walk I might put it on a speaker, eat my ass if that annoys you.

Everyone disliked that.

At least you acknowledge you're being a dickhead, but don't get so buttmad that it upsets people 😂

I get what he means by its annoying, but really what the fuck is with that wording "you should be shot" when we know you're just talking about being annoyed?? It says so much about a kind of person when they're comfortable saying something this vile. Using extreme violence as a point of emphasis over an every day annoyance. Like holy fuck there's so little people who can say these kind of things publicly without extreme repercussions, it's so extremely privileged.

More merciful than I would be if I got to pick the punishment.

Aight, someone explain their point of view please. What level of volume severity have you commenters experienced? Someone listening to something has never bothered me, but it also has never been loud enough I can't have a conversation with someone. Most restaurants play music louder than I hear from a stranger's speakers. I don't get what is rude about it. Even the Everett True comic below, several of you are that on edge about a person whistling or humming to themself?

I was on a 7-hr bus trip starting from 2:00 am until 9:00 am. A fucking cumsock sitting in front of me kept browsing Indian tiktok loud as shit for more than 30 mins and no one was saying anything. I tried to sleep and just let him be, but I couldn't because it was loud as shit. I then tried to play similar bullshit on my phone loud as shit next to him to tip him off to how awful it is if someone else did that but still nothing and he was giggling watching tiktok on max volume. I had to tap him on the shoulder, and ask him "Do you have a headphone dude? a headphone? or shut that thing off. Thank you." then he said ok, and that was the end of story.
Still I could not believe the level of obviously for a grown man to do this to everyone around. I thought he was mentally challenged at first but no, he was a grownup sober functional cumsock in his 30s. I still wish the bus driver just shot him twice and everyone pissed on him but that's not how it works in real life

Thank you for sharing; yeah, that would be really irritating. Maybe I'm just lucky I've never experienced the same intensity.
