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.
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.
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.
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).
Yes, but I honestly don’t entirely understand why it bothers me so much. I think it’s the compressed and high-frequency noise aspect of it. Like if someone just had white noise blasting out of a tiny phone speaker, there would be no discussion that it’s intended to annoy.
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…)
“How much are headphones?” Is my immediate thought, then fuck phones don’t have a headphone jack anymore
Very much, yes. It’s so disrespectful to other people.
It is attention seeking behavior. Don’t feed it.
Yes. Inconsiderate & selfish people.
Same with loud exhausts on cars and motorbikes, I hate those people
and blinding headlights. light pollution is no different than noise pollution.
Yes, It’s a sign of people that do not think of others and that bothers me a lot.
From time to time I see people taking video calls on speaker in public (in enclosed spaces where everyone else can hear); in situations like this I’m always tempted to pop into the frame and say “HELLO!” since apparently the call is public, not private, and that maybe they’ll get a hint. I’ve never actually done it since I have the common decency, but others, sadly, just don’t seem to take social cues.
On one occasion when an idiot was blaring music from their phone so loud the whole train carriage I was in were forced to listen to it, I queued up some metalcore and held my phone up so close that it was near his ear. He jumped, startled, and then tried to start a fight with me which was a bitch to de-escalate and prevent myself from getting punched without other passengers verbally backing me up and him eventually getting off at the next station.
Suffice to say two things: it’s not something I’ll likely do again for fear of my own safety, and the people who do this have a significant overlap with people who consider personal violence to be a warranted response when inconvenienced; i.e. they’re selfish, violent arseholes.
my wife does this and it triggers the fuck out of me. I get so stressed out by it I just go somewhere I can’t hear it anymore and just disappear for hours.
choose your battles.
Checks username - did I post this while avoiding the incessant noise from her phone?!
I’m right there with you bro.
Yes
Annoys
Fuck, every night I come into work, there’s always handfuls of people that has everything on loudspeaker.
Phone conversations - take that shit elsewhere! I don’t need to hear your conversation! Some dude flipping over a bunch of TikTok or YouTube Short videos so fast that they auto-play and sound like one long stream Some people repeating videos over and over for all to hear
I don’t even use loudspeaker because everytime I use it, people claim they have a hard time hearing me and there’s so much interference.
