Yes. Hate it. And exactly at this moment there are two of them going off.

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.
It's extremely annoying. Invest in a good pair of noise cancelling headphones.
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.
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.
Yes
Annoys
"How much are headphones?" Is my immediate thought, then fuck phones don't have a headphone jack anymore

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?
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
I try not to let it annoy me and use it as an opportunity to meditate
