People who play whatever they're listening to out loud in public places should feel ashamed of themselves, amirite?

Seems like a popular opinion..

Yes, self conscious and self aware people are the best, it flies over most people's heads that sound waves are real

Yeah and everyone around them is annoyed, so it's a popular opinion. No one ever has the guts to say something because getting stabbed is a likely outcome nowadays.

Can we all start collectively pulling our phones out and blasting "baby shark" whenever people do this in public?

Whenever I see someone doing this I want to show them the meme of the guy standing outside with a cigarette

Worst of all, people that do this always tend to have the worst taste in music

i wouldn't even mind music as much, but i feel like more often it's people playing stupid ass videos out loud, and that's much harder to try to ignore for me at least

Real. Or it happens to be church stuff. I like church stuff, but I don't want to have to be forced to listen to it with them.

Real

Because I was told this should be played at a high volume, preferably in a residential area

What about loud music in the car. Is that also included in this?

Absolutely

Depends. On public transport, in the mall, or anywhere else you have a captive audience? Absolutely dickhead behaviour, that's what headphones are for. Outdoors with a reasonable berth in between you and other people, at a volume that isn't obnoxious? Go for your life. I honestly love seeing people at the park with speakers on a nice summer's day, it's a vibe. As long as there is still somewhere I can sit if I don't want to hear their music, I don't see the issue. It's not a library.

Years ago, I used to carry around $1 headphones. This was back in the day when everyone used aux on their phones. Whenever someone would play their phone loud in the breakroom, I'd toss a pair pretty much into their hands. A few years back, I walked into a walk in hair style shop. All 8 seats were filled, so I was standing and waiting. 20 minute wait, not a problem. There was a kid (I still refuse to refer to him as a man, even though he was well over 18. Maybe 30ish) he was sitting next to his mom, playing a shooting game loudly on his phone. I'm willing to put up with a small kid playing with noise in public, but not from someone old enough to know better. I pulled my phone out, turned up my volume, and played the duck video. Duck dancing and singing "I'm about to whoop somebody's ass" he got the hint and turned his phone off.

That's why I hate headphones, but damn using earphones or earpods can literally be worn with one in and one out

It's moral injustice. Most people consider others around them in society.

I guess I was being a bit obtuse, I can definitely see how it could be irritating on a bus or train.

I'm half deaf. The type of hearing issue I have makes it harder to filter out what I'm listening for. My woofers work fairly well, but my tweeters are not good. Phones are higher pitched, so it just comes out as a jumbled mess from further away than personal distance. The (likely) tinnitus I've had all my life doesn't help either. I was in my thirties when I found out that isn't normal for everyone.

Just for that, I'm going to listen even louder now

You gonna buy me some earphones?

It's not 1950, ear buds cost like 10 bucks

I'm pretty sure you can get a cheap but functional pair from the dollar store

No, it doesn't break the bank though so I don't get what the big deal is.
