My heartbeat just goes up. It just triggers me so fucking much.
Even talking does’t trigger me that much, it’s something about that phone speaker’s weak crackling sound, I despise that. It’s like the REVERSE of asmr.
Yes, It’s a sign of people that do not think of others and that bothers me a lot.
Yes. Hate it. And exactly at this moment there are two of them going off.
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 was just getting annoyed at my husband for exactly this and your post was literally the next one in my feed. Felt like kismet.
Anyway YES it drives me crazy. He seems to love watching videos on his phone. I don’t get it at all.
I watch videos on my phone but with headphones on. Could be a decent gift to yourself to buy him some. :)
He has earbuds! But he doesn’t use them. Phooey
BOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 👎
Damn, kismet is a word I haven’t seen in a while
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.
I try not to let it annoy me and use it as an opportunity to meditate
“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).
Oh yes, I hate disrespectful people so much.
I firmly believe we should test those people who don’t put their carts back, and who play tik tok on loudspeaker and banish them to a remote island. We would have a utopia overnight.
/s (or is it…)
I also hate it when they take up a ton of space in public.
I didnt mean to format that way but then I just left it haha
😂 it’s prefect!
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.

Couple kids in our break room used to play their soaps out loud despite all the mean muggins they got for it. Stopped going there shortly acted
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?
For me it’s the generally underpowered, terrible speaker paired with the worst quality audio you could imagine (128 kbps MP3 in 2025?).
128k sounds fine, try 64k joined stereo.
God no
How did you experience it? MiniDisc?
Someone brings a powerful hifi setup into your metro cart, and starts blasting trap. It’s super crisp and the bass is pumping just right. The asshole playing it confirms that the source is in lossless format. You are saying you wouldn’t be annoyed by the situation?
I would but at least my head wouldn’t be pounding from the “tin tunnel” sound of lofi.
Its the selfishness of people playing loud ass tiktoks, looping AGAIN and AGAIN, on public transport. Like use some fucking headphones. You can even get shitty wired earphones for like 3 quid on amazon or at a corner shop.
Oh, the looping.
I don’t usually mind the sound of my wife tictoking, but sometimes she dives deep into the comments and I’m stuck listening to the same 30 seconds of audio over and over and over.
Yup, my wife watches a lot of shorts. I don’t get it. I think it’s bad for you, but it’s her choice as an adult. With that said, the looping is enraging.
When it starts to get to me, I start singing along. That usually ends it pretty damn quick.

To be fair, if you’re talking 3.5mm headphones/earbuds, you’re likely going to need to add a USB DAC with that too, as most current smartphones don’t have a 3.5mm jack.
That doesn’t fundamentally change the point on cost — you’re talking maybe $6+ more on Amazon — but it does cost more.
There are now cheap trash airpods clones with usb c at the end now. So no need for those obnoxious people to get a dongle and no excuse other than zero empathy
You don’t need a DAC with USB C.
You need a DAC somewhere, though there are headphones that incorporate one so that you don’t need one independent of the headphones. I just don’t know if the parent commenter is referring to ones that incorporate one or not, whether his corner-store-three-pound ones are 3.5 mm or USB C ones.
The DAC is in the same device as for the 3.5mm jack. Sometimes in the same hw, maybe USB chip.
USB-C specifically provides for analog audio pins and specifically to try to make it easier for manufacturers to eliminate the analog 3.5mm jack.
I agree that ones in the headphones exist but it is VERYV rare. Only slightly less rare than USB-A headphones that incorporated their own DAC.
Depends. Some phones can push actual audio through basic USB-C adapter (using their built-in DAC). Some other just won’t, and the only way they can work is if you use an active adapter that shows up as an audio device on your phone. It’s rarely if ever explicitly said which phone needs an actual adapter or not.
On my old Xiaomi MiA2, the “headphone jack” USB adapter was completely passive, just wiring. It won’t work on my Pixel phone.
