yes.
Absolutely yes, how in considerate do you have to be to not realize that most people do not want to listen to your video during their break.
Yes
Yes
Yea. Stop that.
You're an asshole.
The fact you need to ask this makes me wonder what other ways you are an asshole.
Already been answered, but just want to clarify:
Yes
Yes. If you are ever in a shared space, public or otherwise, it is common courtesy to use headphones. You don't need to have $100+ BT headphones, they still make the wired $5-10 versions and you won't get looks anymore.
Yeah you dumbass.
Afraid so, but I appreciate that you’re thinking about it enough to ask here. We all do obnoxious stuff sometimes. Still, don’t make other people listen to the videos you’re watching.
Yes.
idk why the topic is being down voted. down voting topics makes people not want to share their experiences with the community
I suspect you do know why it's being down voted, you just might say it's not a good reason for doing so, and I agree.
i suspect that it's because I'm the asshole, but that's the point of the community. isn't it?
or maybe I'm wrong. maybe the point of this community is to downvote and chastise people who share here
I imagine you're right. Can't be sure.
My guess is people think they're punishing you somehow with their down votes.
Quite silly, as you say.
You're not an asshole, you're just inconsiderate. If you were an asshole, you wouldn't be asking for the advice of strangers and even considering that you're in the wrong.
Wear headphones, or watch the vids on mute. You can imagine the "Mrrreow" and "Prrph?" noises they make
Without a shadow of a doubt, yes. You monster.
I was in the waiting room while my spouse was getting a 4 hour surgery.
This guy had on Fox News as loud as possible on his phone and had no intention of using headphones or lowering volume or turning it off.
He was a major asshole.
So yes, you are one, too, just not nearly as bad because at least you weren’t watching Fox News at the time.
Wear headphones. Respect other people.
Yes
No.
Just kidding you're flipping clueless: yes.
In a public setting, the only people who should be able to hear a video are the people who agreed to watch it.
If you are the only one watching something you need to use headphones so only you can hear it.
If you are showing it to a friend then you use the speakers with low volume so two people seated closely can hear it but someone at the next table cannot.
Remember the people working there serving the food and the others eating there did not ask to watch the video and should not need to hear it because they cannot or do not want to watch it with you.
Yes.
You are like the annoying person in the cafeteria drowning out me listening to Hungarian folk-punk on speaker.
You don't need to spend a bunch of money to not be annoying in public. Good-enough Earbuds are like 30 dollars.
Yes. People listening to shit without headphones around others is one of my biggest pet peeves
JFC, yes. You're one of those people.
