Why do seemingly well-adjusted adults find it acceptable to loudly play tiktoks on public transport?

  My personal favorite is when they decide to read the comments on the post and just let the same 30 seconds of audio play over and over and over.

    Didn’t Dante have a special circle for those ones?

      Right next to pedophiles and people who talk in the theater.

  That doesn’t sound well adjusted to me.

  I really wish these people would understand that a tiny pair of wireless earbuds makes the audio sound so much better than a phone speaker.

  Phone speaker should be silent and never used ever, no good has ever come out of a phone speaker. Use headphones instead all the time. I don’t even know why speakers exist on phones. I see kids and old ladies alike defaulting to speaker phone when they call people, they don’t use headphones (or, god forbid, put the phone up to their ear like we did for a hundred years).

  Call me crotchety and grouchy or whatever, this is the hill I’m dying on.

  Fuckers need to use some goddamn headphones.

    I’m ok with the phone speaker being used for old-school phone call, and maybe if you’re in the bath.

    Otherwise I’ll die next to you on that hill, my groucher in arms.

      What I wanna know, is inside the mind of these people, do they not know that at the top of the phone is a smaller quiet speaker for putting against their ear, cause the microphone is at the bottom of the phone? I can clearly see they know there’s a microphone at the bottom, but then they turn on the big speaker and hold the whole phone away from their face?

    There’s plenty of good uses. Phone speaker is real good when wife calls in the middle of an online match to double check something in a ten second call while actually at the store. I can mute my mic and take it with my gaming headphones still on.

    But I’m the only one home, and, ya know, at home not public.

      But she isn’t using phone speaker. And if she is, I’m gonna stare her down until she feels mildly uncomfortable about it and puts it away, cause this is my hill and I’m dying on it.

    I love using my phone speaker. I do not always have headphones in my ears. I know some people can walk around all day with an earbud in their head, but I am not one of them. When I am messing around on my phone and decide I need to watch a video that includes audio, I can just turn up my speaker and listen. At home only, mind you. I would have to be totally devoid of empathy to blast loud audio in public.

  I bet if you tell them to stop, they’ll prove they aren’t so well adjusted

  Why do seemingly well-adjusted adults find it acceptable to loudly play tiktoks on public transport?

  the latter observation disproves the former assumption. They’re LARPing as “well adjusted adults”

  They completely disregard your comfort and well being. And not only in public transit, they probably don’t care about any human being who is not related to them in any aspect of life.

  Ok, maybe I’m overreacting, but I truly hate people being loud in public transport m

  Why don’t you ask them?

  Right… Because they’d rather watch tick tocks than talk to you.

  Because constructed individualist society values individual desires over comfortable/agreeable coexistence.

• ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  Because there are no consequences for doing it. The world is full of people that will do anything that’s convenient for them as long as they can get away with it. They think categorical imperative is for suckers.

  Possibly it doesn't bother them when other people do it, but my theory is a very mild sadism.

  …Apathy?

  TikTok is basically a time killer, short shots of dopamine. Such users aren’t thinking about it that hard, so it would stand to reason they aren’t considering the impact of the noise either.

    Do conservatives like being harassed by man-babies in public? Explains a lot, tbh.

  next time just cozy up next to them and start watching their phone with them.

  when they object, remind them that when they listen to content publicly, they invite the public to partake.

  Same reason they feel the need to cover themselves in cologne and force that stench on strangers.
