    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?

    Start up your Bluetooth speaker. (Buy one if you haven’t got one. It doesn’t have to be good, just loud.)
    Ramp it up to 11.
    Start the most annoying obnoxious sound you have, (that you have already downloaded).
    Stand next to the person playing the shitty music and aim the speaker at then.
    When they complain about your annoying noise you reply, “You started it.”

    In Australia these people are deros huffing glue or drinking bowlers run red wine from the bottle. No thanks, I’d rather avoid them.

    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.

      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.

      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.

      If people cared about your opinion on their intrusive actions, they wouldn’t be doing anything intrusive in the first place.

    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”…

      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.

    I’m too puss. Especially if they look even remotely like they could put up a fight. I just sit angrily the whole time.

    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.

    I wish we all could get a Bluetooth blocker devices which would keep on disconnecting their devices.

        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.
