| What is the deal? Why do folks not use headphones on metro? Are they too expensive? Sensitive ears? Is it a micro aggression? The number of grown *ss adults watching movies on full volume with no headphones is almost comical. Why on earth would you do this? |
| Passive aggression/looking for an opportunity to sucker punch anyone who complains openly. |
| I vote for the infamous “narcissistic tendency”. |
| Not just on metro, but everywhere. Super inconsiderate. |
|
Because people suck.
I respond by launching Baby Shark and aiming the phone at the offender. |
| People are just too self-absorbed. |
| I've been wondering the same! Headphones are so cheap and easy, and you can hear your music/show so much better. Doesn't make sense. |
That's what I think too. People looking for an opportunity to fight or people establishing that the rules don't apply to them (and all that goes into that). |
| There’s a dad I see at the playground who will start blasting heavy metal from his phone and sing along whenever a pretty mom is around. Because women find that kind of thing attractive. |
This sounds promising, what is baby shark? |
| I have no problem pointing out the signs posted all over every train that state listening to music without headphones is prohibited. |
| I see people FaceTiming w no headphones on. That’s even worse because it usually a woman going off on a friend or man who wronged her. Awkward. |
| You do know these people are important social influencers. |
| Because our phones have made us morons. |
And sooner or later, you’re going to give one of them the attention they’re seeking. And then your plans for whatever you were doing that day, will change, and you’ll be in a hospital instead. |
