What is the deal with people listening to videos and music on their phones, WITHOUT HEADPHONES, in public spaces?? I’ve seen a huge uptick in this on trains, the tube, in coffee shops, etc. Is this really how self-centered we’ve become? Did people forget that they need to behave differently when around others vs in lockdown at home? Wtf

Definitely seen more and more of this in the past year. Used to come across the occasional teenager exhibiting this behaviour, and while I don’t condone it – I can understand why.

Nowadays adults of all ages seem unfazed by watching Youtube, listening to music or taking calls on speaker in crowded places. Noise cancelling headphones have become a necessity.

This was happening across from me as I posted 😂 I was trying to work and was enraged. She was at least late 20s!! I almost said something.

My girlfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship for 8 months now. We talk every single day online and recently I went to visit her for around a month.
