Like, what the fuck. Waiting rooms, libraries, movie theaters, on and on. That same fucking Samsung notification sound, at volume 11/10. For every notification every 20 seconds as Fox/CNN/QVC forces more and more bullshit on you and therefore us. Do you not know that you’re pissing everyone off? Do you not care? I hope it’s because you’re too stupid to turn off sound notifications, but the high volume suggests that you like it and want more. Your generation was the one making us be quiet in public spaces and now you ruin them for everybody. Seriously, fuck you.

Every phone out there that can be heard by people 100m away is the indication of a garbage person, that’s not linked to a brand or a specific group.
Seriously, fuck you.
You know, the thing is THEY CANT HEAR VERY WELL NOW so they might not give a shit.
Greeting from the generation in between.
If it was me, I’d just set my phone to vibrate, but maybe they don’t know how?
Oh, my absolute favorites are the people that have the volume all the way up and send text messages. You get to hear the send/receive text alert over and over. Then there’s the ones that get the phone call with the obnoxiously loud ring, take forever to find their phone, look at it (still ringing loudly) to see who is calling, and don’t silence the ring while they decide whether or not to answer.
I see you’ve met my dad.
Lol, he must hang out in airports a lot.
I took a commuter train to the big city the other day and I couldn’t believe how many other commuters were scrolling through TikTok with speaker on, or video calling their parents with speaker on. Nobody else wants to hear your shitty music videos.
Nah it’s Gen Z and their loud iPhone bell notifications.
WE’RE IN CLASS!! SILENCE YOUR PHONES DAMMIT!
No it’s any asshole listening to TikTok or YouTube on speaker
There is almost nothing worse than someone else’s tiktok feed playing out loud in the same room you are.
It’s insufferable.
Oh god. I’ve got no carpet so sound moves well through my house despite doors being closed. Hearing something looping because they set their phone down while doing something. Why at such high volume child? After about 5 loops I yell.
OH NO
OH NO
OH NO NO NO
Constantly.
First world problems
Around 5 billion people have smart phones, it was a first world problem a decade or two ago, everywhere has them. Hell for the poorest African nations a person is more likely to own a smart phone than a car or fridge.
Buh ae dindoo nuthinn
Yes but it isn’t only boomers. Teenagers do this all the time in public transport (usually watching loud videos) and they don’t have any excuses like for example being half deaf or not knowing how to mute their phone. It is one of the reasons why I prefer driving. I don’t want to have an argument with some stupid shit every time I get on the metro.
I’d believe some teenagers don’t know how to mute their phone. Tech illiteracy is off the chart these days, especially for young people.
I know engineers in their mid twenties who don’t know what an sd card is, or a megapixel, or the term “specs”. We have reached a stage of populism where people don’t care about anything but brand and just buy the most expensive model
If someone actively plays loud shit in public transport, they should get a lifetime ban for it. Nobody likes being on public transport; I’d drive a car if I could. I’m basically forced to be there.
So if someone actively makes that worse, they should be forced to walk and contemplate their life choices.
TIL that I’m nobody. I chose to live where I live because it meant that I could rely on public transportation and get rid of my car.
Honestly, have people forgotten headphones exist?
Not long ago, it used to be a mortifying social suicide to be the kind of person that let their phone make a noise in a public place—let alone for an extended period of time!
So many phones don’t have headphones jacks anymore, and Bluetooth is a bigger hastle than just plugging in a wire. And all the cheap ones use Micro-B instead of C for charging, so now you have to worry about two wires. USB-C/lightning to Aux adapters are unnecessarily uncommon and take the charging port. Same with wired headphones that have a USB-C or lightning jack.
The tech companies have made courtesy inconvenient.

What? Literally every single pair of Bluetooth headphones I own auto connect to my phone by the time I have both buds in my ears.
And all the cheap ones use Micro-B instead of C for charging
I bought a cheap pair of $20 anker ones a couple years ago for gardening and they’re USB c. Even the cheapo taotronics I got from AliExpress were USB c. I don’t think micro has been in use for a while now.
I have two sets of Bluetooth earbuds/headphones - in ear, and over the ear. But I connect them to my phone, my tablet, my laptop and my PC. They only stay connected to two devices so there are always two devices that aren’t connected. It’s a pain in the ass. I miss wired headphones.
I’m in my early 40’s. I’m still mortified when the phone makes a sound when it shouldn’t. I always double check it’s on silent while going to a movie for example. Meanwhile there’s fuckheads three rows up playing TikTok at full volume while the trailers are running.
Honestly, you should legally be allowed to beat someone like that to death with their own device.

A neat thing about living in Japan is that there are announcements and signs everywhere telling you to please keep your phone silent and to turn down the volume on your headphones so that noise doesn’t leak out either. ‘Silent mode’ is literally called ‘manner mode.’
Go back to Reddit with your overinflated hatred.
no u
I love how this so closely mimics nationalism and its assumption that somebody came from somewhere else.
Dp you not know that you’re pissing everyone off?
Did you tell them they’re pissing you off?
Somebody was playing shitty rap/drill music on the train a couple of years back.
I thought I might have to be the one to tell him, but then he made a call on speakerphone explaining to somebody that he’d just got out of prison and was looking for somewhere to stay.
I decided not to tell him after all.
No, I stew about it and post rants on the internet. It’s called “manners”.
Its not just notifications. Its also them watching entire videos at high volume in waiting rooms, ads and everything. That or its endless scrolling and completely unrelated audio blasts chained together doing literal psychic damage to everyone around.
It drives me fucking NUTS. The worst part is they’re the ones that will be the first to complain about kids these days being glued to their phones.
Not to mention that all the waiting rooms also have TVs in them, making noise. I really miss the days when you would go places and it was just quiet unless someone was talking (and it would be to someone physically present). The place I take my car for an oil change or whatever plays country music in its waiting room. It’s torture.
OMG my dad does this while I’m on the phone with him. If I had a dollar for every time I had to tell him to turn off the video on his phone so I could hear him…
I would end the call at that point.
Oh, I have. More than once. The service at his house sucks so I don’t even have to fess up to it if I don’t want to, just seems like another dropped call.
It drives me fucking NUTS. The worst part is they’re the ones that will be the first to complain about kids these days being glued to their phones.
My dad used to call us the “No-frendo” generation. Nowadays I have to remind him constantly how rude it is to have you phone out at dinner, for example.
Do you not care?
bingo. they dont give a fuck.
BO DU BU DUP DUP!
😡😡😡
I dont read before responding because what someone else says is irrelevant to me.
Keep shovelin
I don’t think this post is a good fit. The name of the community is “mildly infuriating”, not “absolutely enraging”!
