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.

    Back in my day, we let the entire ringtone play out because it was “Who let the dogs out”, and we paid 99 cents for it. There was no way we would admit that paying for a ringtone was a dumb idea, so we had to justify it any time we got a phone call.

    (By we, I mean millennials, but I never did buy a ringtone. Never understood it, and have used vibrate since my first phone.)

    There was one person who had a whole ringtone as the notification sound. IT would go for 20 seconds.

    I heard a Samsung whistle that ended in a fart sound…12 times in less than five minutes. All numbers are estimated, but I feel like I am undershooting it.

        Around 5 billion people have smart phones, it was a first world problem a decade or two ago, everywhere has them. Hell for the poorest African nations a person is more likely to own a smart phone than a car or fridge.

        There is almost nothing worse than someone else’s tiktok feed playing out loud in the same room you are.

        It’s insufferable.

          Oh god. I’ve got no carpet so sound moves well through my house despite doors being closed. Hearing something looping because they set their phone down while doing something. Why at such high volume child? After about 5 loops I yell.

    Every phone out there that can be heard by people 100m away is the indication of a garbage person, that’s not linked to a brand or a specific group.

    Seriously, fuck you.

    Unless I am actively waiting for something, the phone is on vibrate. But even then my attitude is notifications are what I see when I bother to take a look. There is usually nothing that cant wait until I want to take the time to deal with it.

    People are so Pavlovian about their devices, I see it all the time.
