They don't care about anyone but themselves. And playing shit loudly on phones doesn't bother them so clearly it doesn't bother anyone else either. Main character syndrome, or something.

    Real answer? Because people around them don't get angry and tell them to stop doing it.

    I do blame them for being insensitive idiots but I also blame others who are afraid to tell them what they think.

    Im not any better. I recently endured a train ride of 5 hours in the seats right behind a family with kids who were yelling, screaming, jumping... Everything, as if they were at home. Parents were just as loud, talking and screaming over the loud noise of their kids.

    I escaped it by going to sit in the restaurant wagon, it was much quieter than our seats.

    It's common in many countries to do this. Especially on buses. Very annoying to listen to 5 people's tiktok feed while riding a cramped and rattling bus.

    They're the same ones who drive up the shoulder to leapfrog because their time is more valuable than yours.

    It's what they learned to do as children. My kids did this until I taught them that it was rude, and to use headphones. Now they are respectful of others.

    I don't think you'll find those people on the Fediverse. You might find them on Twitter.

    They probably wouldn't answer you anyway, because you're beneath them. People who do that tend to be selfish, narcissistic types who think everyone who is not them and theirs is less than human.

    I'm at an event right now that involved thousands of people queuing to check in with carts of gear in a large hotel atrium. One person walked by with their cart and a stupid JBL Bluetooth speaker blasting music. The main character syndrome some people have is insane.
