My heartbeat just goes up. It just triggers me so fucking much.

Even talking does't trigger me that much, it's something about that phone speaker's weak crackling sound, I despise that. It's like the REVERSE of asmr.

My first experience with people playing stuff on speaker was on a train from Beijing to Xi'an. I kept looking around to see who would ask the woman to please silence her show, but it never happened...

    Helps to learn Mandarin: If you are a white person, you can just ask politely with a firm voice and I'm sure 99% of the time people would just comply to "save face" in front of "outsiders"

    Something like:
    「[先生/女士],请不要在公交车上播放这么大声的[音乐/视频]。这很没礼貌,不文明。」
    ([Sir/Ma'am], please do play such loud [music/video] on public transit. This is very impolite, uncivil.)

    Like 99% of the time it WILL work if you have white face.

    Disclaimer: I'm not white so I cannot test this. I also never witnessed a white person in IRL try this, only heard stories of white people trying it and it somehow just works.
