People watching shit on their smartphone with the volume full fucking blast. What happened to Airpods and the like? Use them ffs! not a single person wants to hear whatever bullshit is coming out of your phone.
Honorable mention: cars with speakers in the grille. Not one single solitary person wants to hear your stupid playlist either, and your speakers fucking suck anyway. Yes, I'm talking to you, bozo in the donked out Chrysler 300 that drives down my street.
People have speakers in the grille of their car? To play music on the outside of their car? What the fuck kind of main character psycho bullshit is this?
It's terminal main character syndrome 😔
yes thank you! 100% agree. I should not be the one having to shove my noise cancelling earphones in just so someone else can blast some 10 second instagram short that repeats over and over and over ad nauseam while they, I assume, scroll through mindless bot comments.
I don’t understand the former. Somebody is sitting in a waiting room and believes it’s appropriate to start watching loud YouTube to pass the time.
Honestly. It feels like way more people nowadays are way less conscientious of their noise pollution.
Like no I don't want to hear you doom-scrolling through Instagram, no I don't want to hear your playlist, and I'd really rather not have to listen to both ends of your phone conversation either.
If you need your ears open, then get a set of open earphones or bone-conducting headphones. Unless you go for the top brands, neither are all that expensive - and most will offer better sound quality than your phone on full blast in the first place!
Hey friend, how dare you besmirch my grille speakers!
I use them all the time at the drive-in theater to broadcast the radio channel with the movie audio so everyone not in their car can hear the movie.
People seem to be thankful… but should I be worried to the point I ruminate late into the night for the next few weeks, and then once every few months for the rest of my life, about how I may have angered someone while trying to help others at the drive-in? /jk
But seriously, I can see the point for certain car culture type meet ups, I didn’t want them in my car, only discovered them after I bought it. Was at the drive-in, it was a nice night, was sitting outside of the car but couldn’t hear the movie, thought if those speakers and they have come in very handy ever since in this, and only this, setting.
I didn't know grille speakers had utility like that 😅
But yeah, there's a guy that often drives down our street blasting whatever shitty music he likes for all the neighborhood to hear. The audio quality is terrible, too. Way too much treble and sounds like it's reverberating out of a tin can.
