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.

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.
