Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Fabulous. I despise that guy that feels he needs to listen to his YouTube algorithm on full volume.

It's worse in south East Asia, but sure, let's make a start somewhere.

So many people I hate in public transit for this.

The young dude who HAS to play his shitty music on speaker (we all know you have headphones, you all do).

The parents who gave their 2 children an ipad to play games on at full volume.

The teenage to late 20s girl/woman who can't talk to her friends without having it on speaker, and thinks yelling about her one night stand in the train is appropriate.

Fuck all the people who do any of those.

Berlin has even started making announcements about it: "Please mind others and keep your music, tiktoks and phone calls in your ear instead of playing them through your loudspeaker".

The German version holds back a little less: "...music, tiktoks and calls belong in your ear and not played over your speaker".

Yup. Was just there a day heard that. Excellent

I was on the train in Rome and there was a family of Chinese tourist that was all playing their phones really loud with no regard for others. It was like tik tok in Chinese or someting.
