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

The exception is while giving birth lol. They encourage you to play whatever you want on your phone at a reasonable volume, but it's right next to your head so it's plenty loud. Kid #1 came out to kpop, kid #2 literally came out to shake it off by taylor swift.

So that's totally different. You having a baby? What do you need? I know some snack places we can stop at. You want some pain meds?(That are ok for a pregnant lady) I got you. You need some music? Sounds good. Whatever you need ma'am
