        It becomes obnoxious no matter what it is when they’re having a text conversation with someone and it’s going off constantly

          I’m pretty old but do you know the Woody Woodpecker laugh? I used to work with a girl back before smartphones that had that as her text notification. It was the whole thing which takes like five seconds so sometimes it was just that fucking sound almost non-stop. Here it is, cursed fucking creation.

      If someone told me to silence my phone in public they would get laughed at. And if you persist I’ll tell you to call the cops, who will then proceed to laugh at you.

      Theatres, yeah, they shouldn’t even vibrate.

      Edit: you’re prefences are noted and ignored. People have been loud in public since there has been public. Get over yourselves.

        that has not stopped me from calling it out. in my experience, most people seem to be unaware that it bothers other people (or at least they claim to be unaware).

        that said, a decent number of them are unwilling to change their behavior after being told that it does bother people.

      100%. Public areas need enough clear airspace for emergency announcements as it puts everyone in danger.
