It can completely ruin my mood. External noise doesn't both me too much, if it doesn't include actual words. Anything with words disrupts my concentration badly. It keeps me from reading. It even makes it hard for me to follow a train of thought. It feels almost like a physical assault, to me.
I'm amazed that there aren't frequent murders over this.
Yes. Hate it. And exactly at this moment there are two of them going off.
I drive for Uber, so... YEAH, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY THAT. Instant 3 star rating, unless you're nice.
And honestly, most people really are, so it generally takes the fire out of the proceedings, unfortunately.
Yeah it makes me want to take their phone and crush it and scream at them. :)
Ive been thinking about this. Its always other people, at work or other places where we are forced to be, who makes life full of frustrations. And its not like we can leave. We have to be in those places. I think thats what makes us so frustrated.
I also think its normal to be angry and frustrated by that. I just cant imagine being totally fine with it and feeling content and happy around that behavior. Maybe if I was a teenager.
It's extremely annoying. Invest in a good pair of noise cancelling headphones.
Yes
Annoys
Of course, it's being a selfish asshole without consideration of your surrounding.
One of the many reasons I need anc headphones in public transport and which benefits me using a car (though I don't want it).
This happened to me last night. I was wasted out of my mind for New Year's, so I stopped at a convenience store that was open at 4 am. The lady next to me was playing some god-awful video on her loudspeaker while I was trying to slurp down my ramen noodles and hold my head together.
How can anyone be this inconsiderate and not get the hint when the other person makes a grand gesture to put on their headphones?
"How much are headphones?" Is my immediate thought, then fuck phones don't have a headphone jack anymore
I try not to let it annoy me and use it as an opportunity to meditate
I'm doing whatever i want in my home, deal with it :)
Mom, is that you?
Am I crazy or does it seem like I hear about way more women than men getting stuck doomscrolling tiktok obnoxiously?
probably the first
In public, sure. It's annoying when people contribute to the noise. At home I don't really mind if someone watches videos with sound on. At home I always have the option to put on headphones to block it out, but in public I might not be able to.
it’s something about that phone speaker’s weak crackling sound
What kinda phones do the people around you have? Ever since I moved from Oneplus to iPhone, I've had excellent clear audio quality and I'd expect Android flagships to be no worse in that regard. My OP 7 Pro felt very disappointing after getting an iPhone 13 mini though
