Seems everyone is the center of their own universe with total disregard for others sharing the same public space.

I love that Alaska Airlines makes it part of their departure announcement that the use of headphones/earbuds is required for anyone watching movies/TV or listening to music....and the flight attendants are quick to address it when/if it happens.

Did you die?

It’s not acceptable.

I remember the days of dudes walking down the streets in the 80s with a boom box on their shoulders. I even saw one in an airport back then.

But it’s never been “acceptable” to annoy others for your personal choices. Humans just don’t like to be acceptable sometimes. Or they’re clueless.

Tell them, don't tell us..

Sounds about right D3. Depending on the sitting, I actual am concerned for my safety to speak up.

Did you give them the eye? And put on your headphones with a huff? Because I'm passive aggressive like that

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
