Like, what the fuck. Waiting rooms, libraries, movie theaters, on and on. That same fucking Samsung notification sound, at volume 11/10. For every notification every 20 seconds as Fox/CNN/QVC forces more and more bullshit on you and therefore us. Do you not know that you’re pissing everyone off? Do you not care? I hope it’s because you’re too stupid to turn off sound notifications, but the high volume suggests that you like it and want more. Your generation was the one making us be quiet in public spaces and now you ruin them for everybody. Seriously, fuck you.

Unless I am actively waiting for something, the phone is on vibrate. But even then my attitude is notifications are what I see when I bother to take a look. There is usually nothing that cant wait until I want to take the time to deal with it.

People are so Pavlovian about their devices, I see it all the time.

The ones on TikTok kill me. They’re the first to complain about younger generations being so loud with their phones, but meanwhile they’re just scrolling that shit in public, a new video every few seconds, with the volume turned up to max.

So you hear every new voice/music with no context.

They do get mad if you have noise cancelling earbuds in, too, so we can’t win. Somehow that makes us in the wrong as well.

You may let yourself out

I heard a Samsung whistle that ended in a fart sound...12 times in less than five minutes. All numbers are estimated, but I feel like I am undershooting it.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

There was one person who had a whole ringtone as the notification sound. IT would go for 20 seconds.

[–] pepsison52895@lemmy.one 4 points 1 week ago

There are rare cases where full volume is necessary, but definitely not for the vast majority of people. For example, my phone is set to about 50% ringer volume, but I'm also on-call for work sometimes and I have that phone constantly set to 100% so I know that I'll hear it in any circumstance. It also only goes off once every couple of months or so and not constantly.

My parents do this. I'll be sitting across the room at night, playing some hades on my steam deck, and I'll suddenly get jumpscared by my mum browsing facebook

[–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Back in my day, we let the entire ringtone play out because it was "Who let the dogs out", and we paid 99 cents for it. There was no way we would admit that paying for a ringtone was a dumb idea, so we had to justify it any time we got a phone call.

(By we, I mean millennials, but I never did buy a ringtone. Never understood it, and have used vibrate since my first phone.)
