I eat lunch in the cafeteria at work. Sometimes i like to watch videos of cats doing funny things on youtube during my break. The thing is, i don’t wear headphones and sometimes people give me looks. AITA for watching videos in the cafeteria without headphones?
The fact you need to ask this makes me wonder what other ways you are an asshole.
I was in the waiting room while my spouse was getting a 4 hour surgery.
This guy had on Fox News as loud as possible on his phone and had no intention of using headphones or lowering volume or turning it off.
He was a major asshole.
So yes, you are one, too, just not nearly as bad because at least you weren’t watching Fox News at the time.
Wear headphones. Respect other people.
Yes.
In a public setting, the only people who should be able to hear a video are the people who agreed to watch it.
If you are the only one watching something you need to use headphones so only you can hear it.
If you are showing it to a friend then you use the speakers with low volume so two people seated closely can hear it but someone at the next table cannot.
Remember the people working there serving the food and the others eating there did not ask to watch the video and should not need to hear it because they cannot or do not want to watch it with you.
Already been answered, but just want to clarify:
Yes
yes.
Yes.
You are like the annoying person in the cafeteria drowning out me listening to Hungarian folk-punk on speaker.You don’t need to spend a bunch of money to not be annoying in public. Good-enough Earbuds are like 30 dollars.
Yes. People listening to shit without headphones around others is one of my biggest pet peeves
Afraid so, but I appreciate that you’re thinking about it enough to ask here. We all do obnoxious stuff sometimes. Still, don’t make other people listen to the videos you’re watching.
Yes
100% yes.
Yes
JFC, yes. You’re one of those people.
No.
Just kidding you’re flipping clueless: yes.
