    Some things that seem obvious to you are not obvious to other people and vice versa.

      Short of screaming, is there a way I could make these other people aware at least?

        Well-adjusted adults don’t tend to scream in public either. You could try politely asking. Loudly playing TikToks in public is not illegal after all, so you don’t really have grounds to start making demands either.

          I never claimed to be well adjusted. You’re right that politely asking can be the right thing to do, but usually my instinct tells me not to.

        Not easily and safely. You could try to talk to them, but most people are kind of brittle and will get defensive if you so much as suggest they are not saints.

        Recognize that behavior in yourself, and try to be better. We’re all vulnerable to getting defensive when we’re wrong.
