    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.

      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.
