People in NYC subways can be so rude when it comes to sound from their phones. Playing games with the volume fully up, that's an irritating sound to anyone not looking at the screen. And for music, goddamnit put headphones on what the hell? Last night a kid walks into the bodega and is blasting shitty music and mumbling along. There was already music playing in the room so now we all have to listen to competing bass, drums, and melodies -- something that drives me fucking crazy.
Dont ALL cell phones come with headphones nowadays? And if you lose them, another pair is dumb cheap unless you want to upgrade. it's got to sound better and louder than the phone speaker.
Do people in other cities do this? i never took public trans in LA but if you walked into a store doing this people would all turn and look.
