old woman with loud video on phone
Advertisements
i’m sitting at my block’s pickup point alone minding my own business, waiting for my grab. old woman sits a few seats away and immediately takes out her phone to blast her music, shattering the quiet with buddhist sutra songs.
it’s on full volume- you can tell as the speaker is buzzing and clipping. i don’t have a problem with buddhist sutra songs, it’s the sheer inconsiderateness i mind.
so i take out my ipad and play bach organ music at full volume. she gives me a dirty glare, i just smile.
after a minute of being drowned out, she turns her phone music off. i do too. peace and quiet returns. she’s still staring daggers at me as i get into my grab.

- Are you the Angel? Yes you are!
If I could call the gods to smite every loud music playing boomer, I would. - I had a neighbour who played loud buddhist chanting music at least twice a day, once in the morning and at night, but fortunately i am off to work in the morning, and he doesnt make such a ruckus in the night time after numereous complaints about his habit.
I once confronted him about his need to chant loudly and he told me with no bullshit that he has to chant aloud so that the higher being can hear him. - I hate people who blast music loud like that in public but one day I was curious so I went to ask this uncle to turn down the volume and asked why he is hearing music on such a high volume. He told me he is partially deaf so he can’t hear hence the loud volume. But it probably never occured to him that it was too loud for people nearby. He apologised and I felt a bit bad for asking him to turn It off.
- I used to do such passive-aggressive stuff when I was younger but nowadays I just mind my own business because I don’t have the time and energy to spend on conflicts now.
- Been there done that. Let them taste their own medicine. I’ve blasted full volume in the train due to a boomer blasting his phone off.
