The worst part is that it's just normalized enough that you can't really call it out.
that has not stopped me from calling it out. in my experience, most people seem to be unaware that it bothers other people (or at least they claim to be unaware).
that said, a decent number of them are unwilling to change their behavior after being told that it does bother people.
It's normalized because it's not a serious problem, it's a minor, and extremely temporary annoyance the vast majority of the time.
It's incredibly obnoxious and there's never a good reason for it.
Headphones are dirt cheap. Use them in public. No one has ever wanted to hear your bullshit.
Clearly you've never spent an hour+ on a bus with someone watching TikTok on a fucking Bluetooth speaker.
