You phone shouldn't make any sound whatsoever when you're in public period.
The worst part is that it's just normalized enough that you can't really call it out.
that has not stopped me from calling it out. in my experience, most people seem to be unaware that it bothers other people (or at least they claim to be unaware).
that said, a decent number of them are unwilling to change their behavior after being told that it does bother people.
It's normalized because it's not a serious problem, it's a minor, and extremely temporary annoyance the vast majority of the time.
It's incredibly obnoxious and there's never a good reason for it.
Headphones are dirt cheap. Use them in public. No one has ever wanted to hear your bullshit.
Clearly you've never spent an hour+ on a bus with someone watching TikTok on a fucking Bluetooth speaker.
It can ring and give notifications, as long as they aren't set to something obnoxious.
It becomes obnoxious no matter what it is when they're having a text conversation with someone and it's going off constantly
I'm pretty old but do you know the Woody Woodpecker laugh? I used to work with a girl back before smartphones that had that as her text notification. It was the whole thing which takes like five seconds so sometimes it was just that fucking sound almost non-stop. Here it is, cursed fucking creation.
I can't imagine the ptsd you have
i couldn't even make it through the 8 second video. i cant begin to imagine what you must have gone through. my heart goes out to you
That sounds like something they would do to prisoners in Guantanamo.
It's kind of amazing that I haven't really thought about Woody Woodpecker since watching the cartoons as a kid and the animation doesn't look familiar at all other than yeah that's the right colors, but I could hear the laugh in my head immediately on seeing the name, without having to play the audio.
Unprompted, I will tell you the most obnoxious ring tone I have ever heard. It was on the subway and a voice was suddenly loudly proclaiming: "Warning! Warning! The owner of this phone is a self-confessed binge drinker" until some douchebag picked up the call.
100%. Public areas need enough clear airspace for emergency announcements as it puts everyone in danger.
Nobody should even speak in public! Or breathe my air!
A narcissistic sociopath is someone who exhibits traits of both narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). They may have an exaggerated sense of self-importance, a lack of regard for others, and a tendency to manipulate others to get what they want
They might be a literal child, as implied by their name.
