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.
like on the bus or metro and someones watching an already very loud tiktok video right next to you at full volume, thats really unfun for most people
Ok, I do get that, but what about if it is below conversational volume? Does it still bother you the same?
