There is a woman with a busted up Android phone sampling all the music on her non iDevice. Without headphones. At full volume. In the Barnes and Noble cafe. The staff has spoken to her several times about this but she doesn’t care.
Because she’s entitled. And she has no manners.
All smartphones and the like should default to vibrate mode. I don’t want to hear your ringtone, I don’t want to know what you’re watching on Facebook (because it’s never as hilarious as the headline claims it will be) and I certainly don’t want to hear your phone call with your divorce lawyer over your speakerphone.
What the heck happened to respecting those around you? Have people completely forgotten about common courtesy?
The answer seems to be “it would appear so.”
It’s like these folks that can’t be bothered to park between the lines in a parking lot. They just don’t give a damn anymore. They don’t care about the people around them and they don’t care about anaything outside of their little world.
Though I’m one for a smaller government, I believe that people should be licensed to use anything with more tech horsepower than a Speak ‘n Play. If you don’t have a license, you can’t get on the Internet..
Ignorance. It’s what’s happening in 2015.
In lieu of people becoming more sane, someone needs to invent some sort of aim-able white-noise generator that can build a cone of shame/silence around perpetrators like her.
The level of general rudeness in our society is reaching epidemic (or at least epic) proportions. I have no solution, other than trying to treat others as I would like to be treated. And that starts by treating people in service professions with respect. They are not your slaves.
