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.
I disagree that it’s confined to an age group, but put into the category of speakerphone when inappropriate would be the people with their phone call paired to their car’s speakers, turned way up. I agree with a posted solution, either join in, visibly listen in, or just stare at them.
