- anakaine 7mo agoThis is a fantastic move. Those who play out loud on public transport really are the worst. They intrinsically lack empathy, without a worry or care for others, no concern or thought beyond themselves.
- jgalt212 7mo agoYes, and some of them are just looking for a fight if someone challenges them.
- netsharc 7mo agoTo summarize the whole article, it's United Airlines, and "listening to music without headphones".
- 63stack 7mo agoI would love this to be expanded to public transport in general. Fine them for the same amount as traveling without a ticket. It would clear up so fast.
- b800h 7mo agoI believe that is happening on some public transport in the UK.
- ekjhgkejhgk 7mo agoThey don't even fine people travelling without a ticket.
- bob1029 7mo agoWe should all strive to be the most Japanese that we can be while in spaces like this.
- mrkramer 7mo agoI've never seen or heard anyone listen music out loud from his or her phone in the public transit or on the airplane. They all have headphones but sometimes they listen music so loud that you can actually hear it from the headphones or earbuds. People usually listen out loud some short clips or they talk out loud via speaker but music, that's just disrespectful.
- netsharc 7mo agoSomeone in Japan can also say your first sentence. Lucky them (and you), but in a lot of parts of the world, selfish cuntiness is a growing disease.
- gib444 7mo agoIt's absolutely rife in the UK It's already unlawful on trains thanks to byelaws but enforcement is non existent Pretty common across Europe too
- nephihaha 7mo agoIt's become a lot more common since lockdown. I have to wear earplugs.
- b800h 7mo agoI will always politely ask people who are doing this to stop it, and 99% of the time they do. (This is in the UK).
- gib444 7mo agoI appreciate that is a temporary solution for you but that's just generally not our culture to do that. We expect people to follow rules and norms and aren't really prepared for when they don't And 99% of them will not change their behaviour. The next trip or when you get off, they will do it again. It's not a solution
- Throaway1985123 7mo agoIn Canada it's very common among immigrants from India and Africa.
- JasonADrury 7mo agoIn what country could you possibly do this and not be subject to violence from fellow passengers anyway? I can't imagine finding a group of 100+ random people willing to turn the other cheek in Europe, much less in the UK specifically.
- Gepsens 7mo agoAny western country
- testfrequency 7mo agogestures wildly to north america
- nephihaha 7mo agoIt happens all the time in the UK and they get black affronted when you pull them up on it.
- decafninja 7mo agoIn the US, including NYC, it’s more likely the offender will subject his fellow passengers to violence (or threats of) if confronted. Most people will choose to ignore the offender rather than poke a potentially crazy bear. Of course it’s stuff like this that make people here hate public transportation. But often times transit advocates choose to ignore problems like this saying there’s nothing wrong.
- JasonADrury 7mo agoYeah, but that's on the regular public transportation where the trips are short and homeless people a feature.

- buttocks 7mo agoBrings to mind boom box punk from Star Trek 4. Flight attendants should be allowed to Vulcan-nerve-pinch.
- bitwize 7mo agoGood. I believe in the transformative power of hip-hop. I do not need this power demonstrated to me via full-volume blasting in public or on a means of transport. Apparently the courtesy of keeping your inspiring music to yourself is not universally known, so I am glad to see it enforced.
