Regardless of your position in life. I don’t care if you are a coworker or a boss or just a stranger in a restaurant.
Not very unpopular imo
In the grand tradition of this community, spanning multiple websites, of massively upvoting only the most popular of opinions.
This is the “not like other subs” of subs
I had an ex who would sit next to me on the couch while I was watching TV and start watching social reels and clips on her phone at full volume.
I’d lose my shit and ask her to get her head phones or go into another room. She never understood my issue.
I had a gf who would do that in the next room while I was sleeping. Hearing the same 10 second music or whatever clip from Instagram or TikTok 4 times in a row is pretty annoying. I ended up getting her AirPods so I didn’t have to hear it.
Did it interrupt your tv sound? Or did your tv sound interrupt her SoMe sound?
Doesn’t seem like something worth losing your shit over. But it is very irritating.
You’re taking the wrong approach to this. If they’re consuming content in public via the speaker, they’re including you on the consumption. Join in the conversation if they’re on a call. Comment on the music. Sidle on over next to them and ask them to share the screen if it’s a video.
“Oh, you weren’t including the rest of us? Don’t use the speaker then.” Look into their eyes, and hold that stare for much longer than is comfortable.
Next time you see that, just go over and join the conversation/start dancing (poorly) to their music right in their face.
Homie are you autistic
We are all autistic on this blessed day!
You have one excuse for being on speakerphone:
A genuine disability or impairment.
Or you need to check Google maps cos you’re drunk and trying to find your friend in town who’s only a few feet away but you end up further from him because of said drunkeness and oh god I’m so hungover rn
Only an unpopular opinion to a nariccist.
Very respectful of you. I have the urge to ram their phone down their throat and curb stomp them.
But, if I don’t have my speaker on, no one can hear how cool I am
What the difference between hearing only one person voice talking in the phone or both persons in that call and is it really more annoying then the noise make by cars and public transport?
Because, I don’t want to hear your conversations, your shifty music, or the dumb political video someone sent you. Just keep that to yourself. And let’s be honest, people who put that on speaker, put it on blast. Making sure everyone hears it.
I liken it to two people having a loud ass conversation in a library. Have some respect for others, don’t be the center of attention.
I didn’t mention the music/video part, I agree with that. For calls your post didn’t mention that the people on phone are loud, most people use acceptable voice loudness when they are on a call
Hard disagree. Most people think that volume has a correlation with signal quality and shout during phone calls. Some people do it all the time (shouting instead of talking) regardless of being in the phone or in person… If you haven’t noticed this then other people are probably noticing it about you if you think most people use acceptable voice loudness on a call…

What about people who are hard of hearing?
Use headphones?
Then you’ll see them put their phone on speaker while holding it to their ear.
Unpopular would be the opposite. But actually still no, hardly yelling to shut the bluetooth speaker at the guy who pays your salary.
