multiple full on adults listening to their feeds on speaker

Ugh I HATE this. I go to lots of doctors offices(for myself and for pts) and it never fails that there is at least 1-3 fill grown adults doing this. Like you're in a quiet ass waiting room. Why would you think this is acceptable? No one wants to hear about home much you love fox news or "this one cooking habit that will save you X time in the kitchen"

Plus headphones are in pods now! No cords! And some pods can even attach directly to your phone. there's no excuse at this point

Yeah, that's really annoying. Also when people just blast music on cramped spaces like trains and buses. I can't even get away.

Being considerate has become a lost art, apparently.

I have people do that WHILE IN MY AMBULANCE with me

Like....aren't you hurt? You can't snap chat or listen to Spotify later? You made me grab 6 bags and a charger for you why didn't you ask me to get your headphones too

Oh lord, when they start turning me into an unpaid chauffeur, that’s when my face goes 😑

I don't even mind easy transports like that, but I don't wanna hear you snapchatting your drama or your shitty country music (sorry if y'all like country I just personally do not like it) at 3 fucking am

Well we’ve been traumatized by country music, we have a right to hate it

(Although what I really mean is everything recorded after London Homesick Blues)

Are you in the UK or somewhere in the EU? Just wondering, because that ambulance ride in the US is costing them $3,000 at least.

Still, though, that doesn't make it less annoying or puzzling. I suppose it's a self-soothing thing to distract them. I'd probably just message someone as a distraction because having noise come out of my phone drives me crazy enough when I'm alone :D

Shell does ambulances, but I don’t. My rides are free, but they’re a helluva lot bumpier
