Exactly. It’s a way to announce to everyone that you’re a selfish wanker. Some of us are tired or stressed and some of us have sensory issues. I’ve had to get off buses/tubes before because of people triggering my misophonia or being too loud when either chatting on their phone or playing audio out loud. It’s bad enough having to move to a different deck because of creeps making me feel unsafe, I don’t need this extra obstacle to using public transport too. Using headphones is just the considerate thing to do.
They don’t stand for this crap in Japan. You chat loudly on a phone, you get death stares from everyone.

I mean i am just half joking, to me this is really a non issue. And also it usually isn’t rich people who do this.

making being in public unpleasant for others, especially in a confined space and especially when it’s 100% elective to be unpleasant, is bad.
