I’m American, I’m not trying to get shot
Nice try; Americans don’t have public transport.

You should do a full on mime and signal them you’re fucking deaf because how loud their musics are
You could pretend to be one of those sign language interpreters at a concert
I’m not trying to get stabbed in the neck. You should consider this risk too.
What country do you live in?!
I live a country where metal can be sharpened and I assume you do too
Same for me
I’m not in the game of tempting fate
The 1 downvote you have is from a sequel trilogy fan.
uses colorful metaphor
I envy your bravery
Nope, not worth it. I’ve stopped trying to convince others to be considerate in public. They’ll either ignore you or blow up and get aggressive. I’d rather just try to ignore them myself and move on with my life.
And at the end of the day, I’m also not some authority figure like their mom or dad; I’m nobody to them. As much as I may not always like it, strangers don’t owe me anything, including their consideration.
If people cared about your opinion on their intrusive actions, they wouldn’t be doing anything intrusive in the first place.
The real caption should be “Am I the only one who makes memes about my tough guy delusions?”
Maybe OP found the one truly ignorant but considerate person in the world who has done this. Everyone else knows it’s a waste of time.
Strangers who use public spaces absolutely owe other people their consideration. It’s part of the price of admission to a public space. It’s not enforceable in practice but I’d be surprised if a certain level of being inconsiderate is even legal in most public spaces.
How is this not enforceable ? When someone is way to loud, drunk, promesticutus or drunk in the public space, you can call the police. Of course, there is appropiate mesures so police won’t come for music that is merelly loud but appropriate public behaviour is indeed enforced.
You can call the police, but will they actually show up and do anything about it? Where I live they almost certainly will not.
Where I live, the police only do something about it if they’ve been called multiple times and are annoyed. Which just encourages people to report it immediately instead of when they actually need the noise to stop.
I don’t disagree with that in theory, but like you pointed out… Who’s going to enforce it in practice? Shouldn’t have to be me, or anyone else who doesn’t work for public transit.
Obviously there’s a point where I’d say something if a person was being truly inappropriate, but I’m not risking my neck over music on a bus.
You can at least feel superior to the assholes screwing up public spaces to the rest of us.
German here. A woman was starting to play loud music on her phone while I was sitting at a bakery having a cup of coffee, trying to relax from a bad morning. I opened Spotify, checked for this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDBDtIOxUsI Every Maaaaaamaaaa I was singing loudly along. She lasted half of the song then fled the scene, even left her coffee on the table. My ears were bleeding, but it was worth it.
Fight them with the most terrible old people song you know in your country, be aware that it might hurt you too.

No all hero’s wear capes…it’d be cooler if you did though
I’ve tried this. Guy next to me was playing a video game on full blast that I can hear over my noise cancelling headphones. I asked him if he could turn the sound down.
He said “F you! This is my console. I do what I want! You’re the only one complaining so shut the f up”…
“Wanna hold a referendum on that?”
IMHO you would have been within your rights to yank that guy’s console out of his hands and smash it.
Of course the risk escalating wouldn’t be worth it, but you’d have the moral high ground at least.
Someone being obnoxious does not give you the right to damage their property.
This is an absurd and extremely juvenile take.
In many places, what you suggest would be charged as an assault, and destruction of property.
Yes? I’m not saying it’s a good idea to actually do it.
Nah mate, I’ve got headphones, idgaf
Noise cancelling earbuds solved just a whole bunch of problems for me
Yeah I don’t need the tweaky dude stabbing me on the train because I didn’t like his music, but thanks
Do people unironically refer to playlists as mixtapes?
Some people are just old enough to remember using mix tapes.
Why not? They fill the same niche functionally.
I just think it’s odd that such a long-outdated term is still in use. Something about it being more specific than “tape” makes it more weird to me.
There are adult people alive right now who save things in software with a button that looks like a floppy disk without even knowing what it is. It will become part of normal language as just another word who’s origin was forgotten. Just like we still “tape” and “film” things with digital cameras.
Why is it always the worst rap music imaginable? Like, I’m a hip hop fanatic, old school, new school, trap, g funk, boom bap, conscious, etc. But why is it the most asinine “i took a xanny now i’m fucking your girl” type shit?
You better have the gun from the meme if you’re gonna make a habit of this.
