This hits close to current location? :)

PS, hope you find a place to live soon.

Free wifi?

Hearing two seconds of the worst possible version of a song you (used to before that) like. It's like some punishment

My worst example is another “while scrolling” but dude had the same mumble trap sample play for every notification, so it was essentially on repeat.

People got worse over the course of the pandemic and it appears they have no intention to go back to more reasonable public behavior ever.

The other one is blasting a 1sq mile radius with music from a vehicle.

That kinda goes back to the OP's title. It wouldn't be as bad if it didn't sound terrible. I miss the early 00s when every 3rd or 4th car had giant subwoofers. I may not like what you're playing but at least it sounds decent.

Start playing Obama speeches when he's doing it.

Are the TikTok’s about people who don’t want to work anymore?

Where I find this behavior most infuriating is on walking/biking trails in the forest preserve. Like, seriously!?! I get the desire to listen to something while exercising or just having your "you" time, but when you're riding a bike that cost thousands, you can probably afford some bone conductors or at least ear buds that offer a hear through option. Hell, the expensive units refurbished on eBay get pretty damn cheap.

I used to do this a lot while working around the house/garage but got one of those small "soda can" sized blutooth speakers and would reccomend, its not super loud but the sound is rounded out around the bottom end and i can keep my phone out of the way of whatever i am around (dirt/dust/glues/water).

We’re not talking about smart people here…

But react angry when you remind them that you're not interested in their conversation!

in my city, all bus drivers were of hero grade about 10 years ago. Today, none of them give a fuck so long as they make their time points. dafuq happun

Based.

Got that blank stare down pat.

In my town it's common to see somebody riding their bike through heavy traffic while looking at their phone. I don't get it at all.

Im not sure they think about ant of those, but yes.

My father, back in the 90s, got into a fist fight with 2 guys over this, they had a boom box, he got stitches because one of their girlfriends came up from behind and hit him in the head with the radio. He was hot tempered. Glad you weren't drawn into a confrontation and used your head.

But I wanna talk to people like I'm eating a slice of pizza!

I like to say "it sucks you can't afford headphones".

Guy was buying in bulk on the bus, he might not have been able to afford them.

Nah, playing music is worse. They are disrespecting the artist, the art, and everyone around them.

No, this is what happens when they are a selfish prick who doesn't care about their surroundings. Even if I agree with the lack of 3.5 jack, a crappy pair of bt earphones are cheap, and will save the rest of us from listening to their crap.

This is what happens whenthere is no headphone port people are selfish pricks

FTFY

You can get USB C to headphone jack dongles super cheap. Bluetooth earbuds are also cheap these days. Not really a good excuse

And yet, billions of people manage to not do this, every day.

I still use the wired ones that came with my zune back in like 2006. They were incredibly good headphones for some reason. Thankfully, I don't use them much. Otherwise, they would probably be broken by now. Im going to be sad when they fo break one day.

Quality of headphones/speakers makes a much much bigger difference than the file type/quality.

I'll take Spotify w/good headphones over Lossless with phone speakers anyday

What's Ur fav band?

worse, compressed mp3

Everyone who claims they can distinguish 192kbps mp3 from uncompressed audio can also hear the flea cough, as we say in German.

Although I would love if they kept their shitty music to themselves, I'm not interested in their crap.

For real... Any of the people who I do come across doing this are listening to the tinniest garbage that sounds like organized radio static.

And it's always got to be in the grocery store or Walmart. How about while you're there, you go buy some $20 Bluetooth headphones so you can listen to your garbage music alone and stop torturing the rest of us with your bad decisions?
