my favorite thing about the "stop using your phone at full volume on public transit" posts is all the people who actually do that shit hearing tens of thousands of times how unpleasant everyone else thinks they are being. my least favorite thing is the replies complaining specifically about it "always being Rap Music" yikes

#there is certainly a racialized element to any complaint about public behavior #if youre thinking “this would not bother me if it was Mozart” well have a think about that one probably #absolutely the worst repeat offenders that i observe in the places i go is old people #either having speakerphone convos which is partially understandable due to age related hearing loss and lack of familiarity with headphones #or--and this is the worst one--just playing phone games as loud as possible. in places like doctor's office waiting rooms #music is not the most common bad quality noise intrusion in public in this context imo #except from actual businesses which again should be vandalized at every opportunity #“well it doesnt bother me” completely irrelevant #hearing acuity and sensitivity to noise varies so drastically person to person #“this is cop behavior” if you dont already know cops are the loudest people in any area they are present already then idk what to tell you #“threatening to beat someone up for playing music” it is a joke article from a joke newspaper
