I kinda get irrationally angry with anyone listening to any video audibly anywhere near any other sentient being at all in any context.
Like, wtf
I once got lectured by my dad how I’m the one being selfish and entitled, and how I try to restrict his freedom and comfort during family time, when I tell him to watch videos on mute, or get himself ear plugs, this was in a hotel restaurant might I add.
Jesus fucking christ, the level of anger I felt took me all the way back to being a teenager, I was very close to throwing a tantrum and going to my room without eating.
EXACTLY! YOU GET IT EXACTLY
like, I know somehow that if ol pappy was my age in this time, he’d be on my side about this. I can feel it in my bones.
But he’s ancient now so him and the kids both try to blast whatever stupid video they come across and wonder why anyone would object to having their ears violated.
And don’t even get me started if I somehow hear a FUCKING AD??! In 2024?
oh also, if you feel similar emotions because of different sounds as well you might have misophonia, there’s no cure lol, but it’s good knowing you’re not in this alone
Sorry it annoys you, I don’t like headphones.
Edit: the entire world is not the bus or cafe you were momentarily annoyed in. Cry about it more.
Sorry you were never taught common courtesy. Your preferences are not license to force others to listen to your crap. Do that in your own home not in public.
in your own home
As long as a can’t hear it in my home. IT’S AN 80 YEAR OLD APARTMENT, THE WALLS ARE MADE OF GLORIFIED CARDBOARD INSULATED WITH NEWSPAPER, A SUBWOOFER IS JUST NOT AN OPTION, YOU NOODLE.
Apartments are not homes. They are glorified cardboard boxes in a better location than the alley.
Wow, that must feel real nice to read if you’ve been living in apartments all your life.
And I’m the asshole.
You misunderstand. This is a matter of standards and not remotely a judgment upon the folks trapped in the situation.
Apartments are, for the most part in the US at least, very poorly regulated such that they are figurative card board boxes and not homes. The serfs, oh sorry Wage Slaves, don’t own their accommodations and thus it isn’t a their home any more than the person in a cardboard box in a back alley. The construction is barely thicker and certainly no more private than the cardboard box in the back alley. People deserve better.
Damn, I didn’t realize it was such a sin to play a video on my phone at a park.
Crazy how narrow your worldviews are.
Edit: btw, I never said I didn’t wait until I was alone.
We dislike listening to your stuff more than you dislike wearing headphones :p
Not our problem
No it definitely is your problem, if you’re in a public space like a park and hearing someone play a video on their phone tilts you then uh… that’s what I would define as unstable.
Until someone comes and takes your phone to throw it in the bush because you’re being an asshole, then it’s your problem.
If I wanted to hear music I would go see a show, of I wanted to watch a movie or documentary I would watch one at home, if I wanted to watch a tiktok influencer I would throw myself off a bridge.
Wear headphones, you share this world with others, it’s basic courtesy not to impose yourself or your taste in entertainment on them.
Back in the days before smartphones, it was being in the same room as someone choosing a ringtone
I have my doubts because I’ve listened to ‘little drummer boy’ played by an amateur bagpipe band in what’s basically a parking garage.
read in the tiktok voice. yuck.
it’s astounding that so many people are perfectly fine with AI voices, it’s honestly kind of terrifying like if everyone around you was having conversations with bad animatronics
can we please make computers sound like computers? instead of making text to speech sound like skinwalkers make them sound like the AI in subnautica or VEGA in doom 2016
How did you generate this? I need to annoy fellow TikTok haters.

Have fun!
You have no idea what you unleashed, do you?
Fights like this is why we’ll never be much better than reddit like obviously this all depends on context and you fucks are trying to paint anyone who listens to anything in a public area as a shit heel. Like ok guess I’ll just be silent forever to not risk pissing off the dude scrolling through Reddit walking past while thinking about how I’m the cause for all the worlds problems. All of you, just grow the fuck up
guess I’ll just be silent forever
Promise? We’ll all be way happier than we would be listening to your dumb ass scroll through spyware with your sound on like a boomer listening to all the ringtones on his Nextel. Buy some headphones, they’re really cheap.
The people who see this as a problem aren’t just Redditors
