Yes but it isn't only boomers. Teenagers do this all the time in public transport (usually watching loud videos) and they don't have any excuses like for example being half deaf or not knowing how to mute their phone. It is one of the reasons why I prefer driving. I don't want to have an argument with some stupid shit every time I get on the metro.
Honestly, have people forgotten headphones exist?
Not long ago, it used to be a mortifying social suicide to be the kind of person that let their phone make a noise in a public place—let alone for an extended period of time!
I’m in my early 40’s. I’m still mortified when the phone makes a sound when it shouldn’t. I always double check it’s on silent while going to a movie for example. Meanwhile there’s fuckheads three rows up playing TikTok at full volume while the trailers are running.
Honestly, you should legally be allowed to beat someone like that to death with their own device.
FTFY.
So many phones don't have headphones jacks anymore, and Bluetooth is a bigger hastle than just plugging in a wire. And all the cheap ones use Micro-B instead of C for charging, so now you have to worry about two wires. USB-C/lightning to Aux adapters are unnecessarily uncommon and take the charging port. Same with wired headphones that have a USB-C or lightning jack.
The tech companies have made courtesy inconvenient.
What? Literally every single pair of Bluetooth headphones I own auto connect to my phone by the time I have both buds in my ears.
I bought a cheap pair of $20 anker ones a couple years ago for gardening and they're USB c. Even the cheapo taotronics I got from AliExpress were USB c. I don't think micro has been in use for a while now.
I have two sets of Bluetooth earbuds/headphones - in ear, and over the ear. But I connect them to my phone, my tablet, my laptop and my PC. They only stay connected to two devices so there are always two devices that aren't connected. It's a pain in the ass. I miss wired headphones.
Buy a third set and then pick two devices for each pair.
I'd believe some teenagers don't know how to mute their phone. Tech illiteracy is off the chart these days, especially for young people.
I know engineers in their mid twenties who don't know what an sd card is, or a megapixel, or the term "specs". We have reached a stage of populism where people don't care about anything but brand and just buy the most expensive model
If someone actively plays loud shit in public transport, they should get a lifetime ban for it. Nobody likes being on public transport; I’d drive a car if I could. I’m basically forced to be there.
So if someone actively makes that worse, they should be forced to walk and contemplate their life choices.
TIL that I'm nobody. I chose to live where I live because it meant that I could rely on public transportation and get rid of my car.
