Like, what the fuck. Waiting rooms, libraries, movie theaters, on and on. That same fucking Samsung notification sound, at volume 11/10. For every notification every 20 seconds as Fox/CNN/QVC forces more and more bullshit on you and therefore us. Do you not know that you’re pissing everyone off? Do you not care? I hope it’s because you’re too stupid to turn off sound notifications, but the high volume suggests that you like it and want more. Your generation was the one making us be quiet in public spaces and now you ruin them for everybody. Seriously, fuck you.

      I don’t know about other people, but I often miss vibration notifications. If I’m doing basically anything at all, even just walking, it’s a good bet I’ll miss it. The pattern of vibration, etc., doesn’t seem to make much difference, either. I basically have to be doing nothing before I’ll detect it. This has been true of every phone I’ve had - flip phones, iPhones, and Androids. I keep it in a front pocket, too, so it seems like that should work.

      I still use vibrate all the time. If there’s something I’m specifically waiting for that I don’t want to miss, I’ll turn on the sound.

        Do you think it’s a modern phone thing? I used to always be able to feel my phone vibrating. But when I got a new phone several years back, I was frustrated to find that I couldn’t feel the damn thing vibrating in my pocket and I’d miss calls and texts.

        Same, if I’m walking around outside with it in my pocket, I don’t notice the vibration or even hear it ring over the background noise and wind.

        I set the notifications to vibrate and set a ringtone for all calls. I don’t think you should respond to messages immediately.
