People who listen to music on speaker in public should be euthanized.
A few years ago I regularly took the same morning bus to work. There was this maybe 16-17 year old kid who sat on the back and would listen obnoxious rap at full volume on his phone, while hogging the whole seat row with his stuff.
I had my headphones on but the hideous rap blared so loud I couldn't hear anything else. In my country we rarely interfere with other people's business, everyone was just sitting tight looking pissed off.
After few minutes I stood up, walked to the kid and told him to either turn that shit off, use headphones like everyone else or I'd throw his phone out at the next stop. He looked at me for a moment completely dumbfounded but turned the noise off and left the bus at the next stop.
He never took the same bus again.
You were everyone's hero that day.
It's easier to do when you're a tall man and happen to look like a bike ganger ;)
Thank you.
Please all other bike ganger-looking people do this for us poor masses who suffer through this garbage
OK fine
I'd happily pay higher fees if the transit companies hired people like you to do this all the time!
What is obnoxious rap? How does it differ from regular rap?
I strongly dislike rap in general, but this horror was something that was probably home made by the kid himself or his friends. All I remember about the "lyrics" was that they involved some kind of rape fantasy.
That was the breaking point for me.
And the whole bus stood up and clapped! An old lady came up and gave you a hug and a $100 bill too
And the bus driver clapped.
I live in Finland. We do not clap.
Everyone on the bus remained silent, just you are expected to be while in public spaces. This is our way.
Damn. Now i desperately want to live in Finland.
My family comes from Finland, and seeing these things make me wish to return to the Motherland
Then I remember you have to live next to Russians, and I'm still not sure if that's better or worse than being in the same country as Texas.
Do you like alcoholism? /s
Be the change you want to see in the world.

No, what? Don’t be creepy about it. Just snap their picture and run it through pimeyes to find their address and live in their walls for a few years to observe their schedule and fears. Maybe replace all of their clothes with identical versions a single size larger and put an irritant in their bodywash to give them reason to question whether they’ve dropped weight due to a terminal illness, then complete their existence as they sleep and, as hard as it may be, platonically collect their eyelashes for your album. Just don’t be creepy.

You write " forced to listen to accordion covers of operas played at a volume so it competes against the TVs playing the HeadOn commercial in Portuguese backwards in a loop" funny, but I get it.

Apply his face directly to my testicles, got it!
I'm gonna add people that use speakerphone in public to that last. Just today I witnessed a dude at a Starbucks speaking loudly because he had his phone sitting on the table in front of him. Nothing in his hands, just wanted to disturb everyone, apparently...
I had a hero bus driver pull the bus over and give one of those kids a single warning. Told him if he plays the music loud again he'd be walking.
And let's be real, it's never someone playing Billy Joel or Stevie Ray Vaughn. It's always the worst drill rap you've ever heard.
What difference does it make what they're playing? This is a stupid distinction to make.
listening to music on speaker in some public places is illegal in some countries
So this was it. This was what took to turn me pro-euthanasia.
