or worst, TALKING loudy on thier phone to someone, or have it speaker, nobody wants to hear your whining.
Always the shittiest, most tone-deaf trap/hip-hop music with the same exact snare drum riff on a loop. There’s objectively good stuff from those genres out there, how do these people consistently find the worst?
Bro did this on the train last weekend. I told him the conductors tell us to silence our phones out of respect for everyone else. Didn’t do shit 😂
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.
I use it in my shop when I’m alone and want something to listen to other than my tools.
my problem with people who do this? they’re listening to the worst possible music in a public space.
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).
tried that but it doesn’t work for me. my shop is pretty big and I wouldn’t be able to hear it from one end to the other without pissing off all my neighbors with my taste in music. also, someone (wife) always calls me when I’m literally inches from cutting my fingers off or when I’m just starting a weld. it’s a hassle to have to take off my mitts, answer the phone, forget it’s on the BT speaker, swipe 3 times to unlock the phone, switch the call mode, answer it again, then get the question “how’s it going?”
It’s just easier for me to output from my phone in my back pocket or shirt pocket.
In the early 60s my teenage cousin constantly held a “transistor radio” like this up to her ear, listening to top 40 stations. I bet it sounded similar.
I had a hero bus driver who pulled over the bus and kicked out a guy who was doing this.
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
The bus drivers who would enforce the rules probably got more complaints and not enough compliments came in to offset them.
So the ones who wanted to keep getting paid just chase KPIs.
Selective hearing probably
I am convinced most people are just walking around as blank eyed zombies that can only think about food, sex, and scrolling TikTok.
Im not sure they think about ant of those, but yes.
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.
Pokemon Go?
I just did one of my 50 mile rides this morning on a bike trail, and I passed a bunch of people with their phones mounted on the handlebars, watching videos of some sort. Like, I guess I could see having a GPS app open, but watching videos? Why the fuck are you even out here? Get a stationary bike and be safe at home at least.
Many people riding and walking on the trail are playing music through their phone speakers instead of using earbuds. It’s somewhat less annoying since you don’t have to be around them for long, but it’s still annoying.
I’ve made many victims, mostly steps.
Not looking ahead for loong time, going into my bikelane without realising and then I give them a shoulder with a scream of surprise and anger.
last one I didn’t even have to look, I heard the sound of him and his phone hitting the asphalt. So satisfying.And before the angry comments: One of those clowns broke my girlfriends arm with that idiotic behavior and I’ve also had near accidents.
If you’re this selfish and irresponsible you deserve it.Lol, murdering bicyclists with your car for something that doesnt hurt you.
can you read? I said bikelane.
And nobody got ‘murdered’ drama queen.
Hey don’t bring tiktok into this. I’ve discovered quite a bit of good music, political uprisings, neat hobbies, beautiful art and artists of all kinds, philosophical concepts, and wonderful ways to look at life on there. Like those two hiker guys from “we love you” that talk about being present and coping with and appreciating life.
Im sorry, but there is literally billions of other ways you could find those things. Don’t support tiktok.
No please don’t take this away from me. It’s one of the last things I have that help me feel normal. It’s a net positive on my life. It’s queer, it’s outspoken, it’s fresh, it’s thoughtful. What reasons do you have that I shouldn’t use tiktok?
As a homeless guy that hangs out at McDonald’s everyday, this hits close to…well, not “home” 😅
I remember used to live in a house very close to McDonalds. We’d just walk there and open up a laptop (very cheap one) outside to use their free wifi. No money for internet lmfao.
Thinking about it makes me sad about the inequality in the world.
This hits close to current location? :)
PS, hope you find a place to live soon.
Don’t get me started on people that wear too much cologne or perfume 😅
Thank you 🫂
Free wifi?
Cheap food and the staff doesn’t chase me off most of the time.
Theres a janitor at my work that sits in the break room all day blasting right wing tick tocks while people are on coffee break, its insanely annoying.
Start playing Obama speeches when he’s doing it.
Are the TikTok’s about people who don’t want to work anymore?
Pefect reply🤌
Literally only glitch-hop and lofi. Nothing that’s intended to sound Good Should be played on phone speakers
I see various forms of peacocking these days. The other one is blasting a 1sq mile radius with music from a vehicle.
Incidentally this meme captures my reaction when I see Clint Eastwood.
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 pandemic worsened the already excessive individualist value of capitalism.

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.
I have to disagree. 9 times out of 10, the song is being drowned out by the sound of the entire car rattling from the bass.
Personally, I prefer a much flatter EQ when listening to my music. I often times turn up the high-mids just a tad. I love a crispy high hat. Jacking the shit out of the bass is kind of spitting on the sound engineer that mixed and mastered the music. It’s like taking a medium rare A5 wagyu and dumping A1 sauce on it.
I was in this car yesterday. Dubstep and woofers. It detached my organs.
From my experience it only sounds good inside the car. Outside is just heavy bass
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.
Besides it feels terrible, the sound lose all the qualities that make it feel decent.
Music is horrible but how about when they are scrolling through shorts or tiktok whith blasting sound? Like a never ending spirit box
