As a homeless guy that hangs out at McDonald’s everyday, this hits close to…well, not “home” 😅
This hits close to current location? :)
PS, hope you find a place to live soon.
Don’t get me started on people that wear too much cologne or perfume 😅
Thank you 🫂
I remember used to live in a house very close to McDonalds. We’d just walk there and open up a laptop (very cheap one) outside to use their free wifi. No money for internet lmfao.
Thinking about it makes me sad about the inequality in the world.
Free wifi?
Cheap food and the staff doesn’t chase me off most of the time.
But react angry when you remind them that you’re not interested in their conversation!
If they were talking with somebody standing next to them, would you do the same? Ask them to please shut up? If not, why is this different?
Asking out of real curiosity. I don’t mind if people talk close to me in a puplic place, as I don’t demand silence around me. Never cares for if it’s on the phone or in person.
The difference is that when there are two people having a conversation they aren’t almost screaming, because they understand each other. Those using their phones like that however…
And yes, I tell them their shit doesn’t interest anyone. It’s helping when you look like an bad angry bearded biker.

Music is horrible but how about when they are scrolling through shorts or tiktok whith blasting sound? Like a never ending spirit box
Hearing two seconds of the worst possible version of a song you (used to before that) like. It’s like some punishment
I had a hero bus driver who pulled over the bus and kicked out a guy who was doing this.
in my city, all bus drivers were of hero grade about 10 years ago. Today, none of them give a fuck so long as they make their time points. dafuq happun

I see various forms of peacocking these days. The other one is blasting a 1sq mile radius with music from a vehicle.
Incidentally this meme captures my reaction when I see Clint Eastwood.
People got worse over the course of the pandemic and it appears they have no intention to go back to more reasonable public behavior ever.
The pandemic worsened the already excessive individualist value of capitalism.

That kinda goes back to the OP’s title. It wouldn’t be as bad if it didn’t sound terrible. I miss the early 00s when every 3rd or 4th car had giant subwoofers. I may not like what you’re playing but at least it sounds decent.
I have to disagree. 9 times out of 10, the song is being drowned out by the sound of the entire car rattling from the bass.
Personally, I prefer a much flatter EQ when listening to my music. I often times turn up the high-mids just a tad. I love a crispy high hat. Jacking the shit out of the bass is kind of spitting on the sound engineer that mixed and mastered the music. It’s like taking a medium rare A5 wagyu and dumping A1 sauce on it.
From my experience it only sounds good inside the car. Outside is just heavy bass
I was in this car yesterday. Dubstep and woofers. It detached my organs.
Always the shittiest, most tone-deaf trap/hip-hop music with the same exact snare drum riff on a loop. There’s objectively good stuff from those genres out there, how do these people consistently find the worst?
We’re not talking about smart people here…
I am convinced most people are just walking around as blank eyed zombies that can only think about food, sex, and scrolling TikTok.
While some might trash this take for sounding “boomer” you’re not wrong, on a very deep level the profound decline in American and European reading comprehension has led to nearly a quarter of our population being functionally illiterate, and the problem here is much deeper than reading scores or being well-read, the problem is without a robust, developed language system, your brain is far less capable of organizing and contextualizing even basic kinds of abstractions about our world.
We use words in our minds to create dialogues and monologs to explore meaning and synthesize ideas and understanding about complicated topics. Without words to create these narrations it’s much harder or impossible understand anything beyond what you immediately feel and see and hear, you become highly linear in your thinking and also highly reactionary.
You’re seeing people walking around like blank-eyed zombies because the number of blank-eyed zombies is literally increasing.
In my town it’s common to see somebody riding their bike through heavy traffic while looking at their phone. I don’t get it at all.
i overtook a topless dude riding his bicycle while scrolling tiktok with both of his hands today. no helmet
its so normalised where I live
I just did one of my 50 mile rides this morning on a bike trail, and I passed a bunch of people with their phones mounted on the handlebars, watching videos of some sort. Like, I guess I could see having a GPS app open, but watching videos? Why the fuck are you even out here? Get a stationary bike and be safe at home at least.
Many people riding and walking on the trail are playing music through their phone speakers instead of using earbuds. It’s somewhat less annoying since you don’t have to be around them for long, but it’s still annoying.
I’ve made many victims, mostly steps.
Not looking ahead for loong time, going into my bikelane without realising and then I give them a shoulder with a scream of surprise and anger.
last one I didn’t even have to look, I heard the sound of him and his phone hitting the asphalt. So satisfying.And before the angry comments: One of those clowns broke my girlfriends arm with that idiotic behavior and I’ve also had near accidents.
If you’re this selfish and irresponsible you deserve it.Lol, murdering bicyclists with your car for something that doesnt hurt you.
can you read? I said bikelane.
And nobody got ‘murdered’ drama queen.
Im not sure they think about ant of those, but yes.
Theres a janitor at my work that sits in the break room all day blasting right wing tick tocks while people are on coffee break, its insanely annoying.
Start playing Obama speeches when he’s doing it.
Are the TikTok’s about people who don’t want to work anymore?
Pefect reply🤌
I use it in my shop when I’m alone and want something to listen to other than my tools.
my problem with people who do this? they’re listening to the worst possible music in a public space.
It’s even worse when you hear it.
Probably the music is horrible too, so…
I hate the people who get those shitty bluetooth speakers and blast them in public. The people who blast music from their phone’s speakers are assholes, but you could still say that they don’t have headphones on them, but the people with the speakers? They intentionally went out of their way to buy a device for the purpose of being a public nuisance. They’re a special of asshole.
Some do that even in the train.
I like to say “it sucks you can’t afford headphones”.
Bro did this on the train last weekend. I told him the conductors tell us to silence our phones out of respect for everyone else. Didn’t do shit 😂
Public transportation people who want to start a fight
