Happened to me at a rite aid recently. Guy in front of me buying a 24 pack blasting corridos smh
HCBailly
Reminds me of recently driving past another car with loud music, but it bizarrely sounded like the music was coming from inside my car.
drowninginthesouth
Listened to Old McDonald song for entire meal at Italian rest. Kid was only 3 or 4. E I E I O...
azzabat
It’s an acceptable way to get a punch in the mouth.
Coltron5000
I’m too hung up on “A full grown entire adult”...
SomeKid
Or when people walk by screaming at someone on speaker phone. "I CAN'T HEAR YOU, THERE'S ALOT OF PEOPLE TALKING AROUND ME."
REBERT10
For just such an occasion, is a good reason for this wonderful thing called texting.
Tattr
I dont understand the mindset of people who do that.
CrazyGermanTornado
I once asked a man to please turn down his YouTube music on his phone in a restaurant because I couldn’t hear my wife speaking to me 1/2
CrazyGermanTornado
2/2 the table. He proceeded to then get up and attempt to fight me. He was probably 5’ 6”, out of shape and graying. I am 6’4” and was 21
somethingstupidandclever
I always thought phones should use parametric speakers that only play sound at those looking at the screen.
jursamaj
That's not how sound works…
kgbofficer
It's not exactly how they work, but it's not too far off. I've seen them range from pretty crappy at it, to surprisingly good at it.
vissago
it should be legal to shoot the phones with a supressed .22 in those circumstances. or if they pull that shit in a movie theater.
Weblord
I worked with a f-wit who did this in the small shared lunchroom every day for the whole half hour.
onlyforn00ds
Every one of you who does this is a dipshit.
myreactionwhenmyusernameisntavailable
I hate this so much
MiasmaCorrigan
Seriously, when can we start punishing people who do that? It's noise pollution.
JudgePhilipBanks
In California this happens all the time on BART. But people get shot/stabbed on BART so I'll just keep minding my own business.
LordBorf
Glomoro
Nnn, debatable. On an unrelated note, are we talking about somewhere with the death penalty for murder, or no?
joot
God damn the dumb fucks on the train.
cybermage256
Wife does this all the time despite me saying something. Drives me nuts.
Jonavilez
"ENTIRE ADULT" ?
SensualTrooper
Perhaps there is a solution. sound ON

Would not go smoothly as this on the CTA here in Chicago. Most likely get stabbed.
Quizz25S
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
LoudAngryJerk
all that would happen here is a dipshit would get 20 bucks to stab someone. I'm not sure how that qualifies as "doing something"
NotTheActualCharlieDay
brendxnn
I dont even have the confidence to play shit aloud in public, if my phone makes a peep longer than 3 seconds I am rushing to the volume down
brendxnn
Sometimes I hit the power up by accident, gosh talk about panic.jpg
jalcantara88127001
Not worse than having a phone call on speaker while commenting on the people looking at you weird.
RandomBSpost
I said bitch!
OrionRed
lol. I was eating lunch in a Wendy's and this 20-something girls was just just having a real bitch-fest with her friend on the phone....
OrionRed
She went on and on about everyone she works with being jerks, all her family being jerks and getting in trouble... then, she actually said..
OrionRed
"And I don't know how everyone knows my business."
applesforjuice
Or just having a loud conversation in public...
Sasurau
I love when people do this in the bathroom and I'm shitting. I push extra hard, like I'm trying to give birth to a shitbaby. I'm especially
Sasurau
proud of myself if I can get that killer toilet-echo rattling through the whole bathroom.
Gilgamech
Tell me again - why don't we have noise cancelling tech everywhere?
Kodaxmax
weve had noise canceling headphones for over a decade and earmuffs much longer.
elbowdeepinachicken
It's actually really tricky and expensive to cancel sound.
Kodaxmax
foam is actually rly cheap.
Gilgamech
I was thinking about outdoor but this is a great point, and how we had college parties. Thanks for the reminder.
Kodaxmax
it's also used in most earmuffs and noise canceling headsets.
Datarage
Because sound is a wave that propagates wildly and to mute it and only it to your ears alone would be nearly impossible
Gilgamech
What if we change the goal to just blocking all noise from a particular device?
Datarage
In this instance, with a speaker playing, no. But if it allowed Bluetooth connection then you could maybe read the sound waves it creates1/2
Datarage
And produce noise canceling sounds if you had the device in your ear theoretically. But it would still block sound with similar waveforms
Datarage
Whereas headphones cover your ears and so they can “catch” all the noise anyways
HavUSeenMyBaseball
Not sure why you got downvoted, I mean it's true. You can't just mute a whole building and even if you could not would be chaos. That said I
HavUSeenMyBaseball
Hate people that play loud music from their phones in public. Lol maybe some kinda small emp device? Also not possible but we're can dream.
HavUSeenMyBaseball
Typos, god damn autocorrect.
Relusion
People do this in the break room at work, pisses me off like no other.
BringMeAKnittingNeedle
Yep, happens at both my jobs.
margaretolson
I am 31 years old and wear a hearing aid, which means I have to take my hearing aid out to put my headphones in which is a huge pain 1/
jursamaj
The still make headphones that go *on*, instead of *in*…
margaretolson
That doesn’t work with my style (the most common) of hearing aid
HsuDoNihm
Why did someone downvote an honest answer? What's the fucking point of that? "I dislike your facts. Downvote!" Sheesh.
margaretolson
Lolol. People be mad over stupid things. Or it’s a person who googled “hearing aid” and thinks they know better
NgomeF
My dad has a hearing aid with a blue tooth connection to his phone. Very convenient.
margaretolson
They are awesome! But very, VERY expensive & hearing aids need to be replaced after 6 to 7 years or so. I had to go with what I could afford
NgomeF
I wouldn't how expensive they are, I live in Sweden. It's called "högkostnadsskydd", any cost above a certain level is paid by the state.
margaretolson
2/and I still fucking do it anyway cause I’m not a mannerless trash goblin
GeneralBuzzkil
graehall
"I’m not a mannerless trash goblin" I love it :)
DreadPierateRoberts
Dont some hearing aids have bluetooth
margaretolson
Yes - and they are outrageously expensive
BringMeAKnittingNeedle
This is becoming commonplace at bus-stops and even on the bus itself. The drivers rarely say anything. It's so incredibly rude and selfish.
ImNotTaylorSwift
Right? I hate them. Can't they text their friends like decent people?
InnsmouthTourist
"Ah man! You're playing this song?!? AWW YEAH! This beat! With drums and everything! That parts so sick! When it goes all blah blah!"
weaselodoom
I deal with a coworker who plays videos in the work truck, mind you its usually an hour or so drive with that bullshit.
BenSnow97
hey siri, turn down the volume
clutchthepearls
They're on the bus. Those things are ZTE or BLU View and you know it.

pocsaclypse
if you elect me king of the world i will make it legal to slap phones out of the hands of people who dont use headphones in public
kojenk
BenGoodal
I’ll introduce to my mate Steve who’ll do that to me now if I slip up. More than happy to give someone an adjustment whack
dudedude09
Please also drain the swamp! But, make it much much swampier first.
swatz
Well, you got my attention, I'm ready to listen to more of your ideas. I'd at least elect you to public relationship office.
agentmcgee
What are your policies on those who chew with their mouths open?
RIPKobeBryant
Can’t fool me twice, hitler
Komah311
Is that currently illegal?
ILikeCuteGifsAndICannotLie
Can you start with my son in our house?
tinytinkingdom
The amount of customers i have to tell to turn down their cells and they’re always surprised?!?
ObsceneTentacularInsertions
what about people who are looking at phones in front of me in the theater?
INeedAnUserNameButNoneIsFree
Give a prize to everyone who knocks phones away for this reason. The farther, the better prize.
jalcantara88127001
Youre hired!
SoMuchYes
Can you also make it illegal to ride in the left lane? Like with.... beheading?
schmobius
Long live the King!
Inepthuntr
How dya know he's the king? His phone's not covered in shit
NitherNor
Tell you what I'd do: I'd throw away the cars and the bars and the war.
lookitupyourself
Do you have a plan for people who are talking/ facetiming in public toilets?
joot
If you don’t have headphones, you can also hold the phone to your ear. Remember when holding a phone to your ear was a thing?
CouldntThinkOfAnythingClever
Dalael
Sorry, i'm voting for the guy who will make it legal to slap them directly.

If elected king, what would you do about TikTok thots?
KittyAmin
Kings aren't typically elected, but you have my vote nonetheless

He'll have to defeat the incumbant:

In XVI century in Poland kings were actually elected. Of course, from nobles, but it's something, right?
pocsaclypse
true but ill be running under the elected monarchy precedent set by naboo so i think im in the clear
RD2C
Sounds good, you have my vote
PressMyButtonsBaby
And you have my bow.
