Like, what the fuck. Waiting rooms, libraries, movie theaters, on and on. That same fucking Samsung notification sound, at volume 11/10. For every notification every 20 seconds as Fox/CNN/QVC forces more and more bullshit on you and therefore us. Do you not know that you’re pissing everyone off? Do you not care? I hope it’s because you’re too stupid to turn off sound notifications, but the high volume suggests that you like it and want more. Your generation was the one making us be quiet in public spaces and now you ruin them for everybody. Seriously, fuck you.

    I don’t think this post is a good fit. The name of the community is “mildly infuriating”, not “absolutely enraging”!

    Its not just notifications. Its also them watching entire videos at high volume in waiting rooms, ads and everything. That or its endless scrolling and completely unrelated audio blasts chained together doing literal psychic damage to everyone around.

    It drives me fucking NUTS. The worst part is they’re the ones that will be the first to complain about kids these days being glued to their phones.

      OMG my dad does this while I’m on the phone with him. If I had a dollar for every time I had to tell him to turn off the video on his phone so I could hear him…

    It’s fun to watch people who probably get pissed off about ableism think it doesn’t apply when they’re mad about old people losing their hearing because they are a political monolith who all voted for Romney and Trump.

      That’s a pretty weak argument considering that there are other ways to get notifications, such as vibration. Also, if you’re getting notifications every minute or two, there’s no reason to have it play a sound or do anything else. The only reason you need to be notified is when it’s an infrequent occurrence.
