Ive done this twice, but most recently,

I was in a doctor’s waiting room where an older fella is brainrot scrolling videos. I’m trying to read my book and ignore it, but the sounds are so annoying. So, I as politely ax I can, turn to him and ask, “Sir, Im sorry to bother you, it’s a bit loud, do you think you can turn it down?” He snaps at me, “Ma’am”, he fucking ma’med me, “Ma’am, my volume is only at half, it’s fine”. I said, “Oh yeah? Bet, mine too” and hit play on the Suicide Silence (deathcore) I queued up.

The first time I did this, the person pulled out headphones immediately (maybt They Art is Murder works better), This guy kept going, so I placed my phone on the floor in front of me and pretended(tried) to read my book until I got called.
