Like, what the fuck. Waiting rooms, libraries, movie theaters, on and on. That same fucking Samsung notification sound, at volume 11/10. For every notification every 20 seconds as Fox/CNN/QVC forces more and more bullshit on you and therefore us. Do you not know that you’re pissing everyone off? Do you not care? I hope it’s because you’re too stupid to turn off sound notifications, but the high volume suggests that you like it and want more. Your generation was the one making us be quiet in public spaces and now you ruin them for everybody. Seriously, fuck you.

While yes I feel you on this … the boomers are probably going deaf and need the extra volume… the asshats who have the phone on speaker like a goddamn walkie talkie in those same public places should be drawn and quartered.
Generally a bigger push towards “maybe don’t be a pubic nuisance” for everyone: regardless of age/generation couldn’t hurt.
You know, the thing is THEY CANT HEAR VERY WELL NOW so they might not give a shit.
Greeting from the generation in between.
If it was me, I’d just set my phone to vibrate, but maybe they don’t know how?
I have several examples of this behavior in close range to me. You’re right many don’t know, turns out these devices are far too complex for many people (not blaming them).
And yes the op was provocative boomer bashing but with many things theres also truth inside. My post was building on that and I know people that literally can not hear you or eg the fire alarm either. It’s really difficult.
I had the Samsung notification whistle down pat back in the S3/S4/S5 era. Everyone had that as their default and it was so easy to fuck with people.
Oh, my absolute favorites are the people that have the volume all the way up and send text messages. You get to hear the send/receive text alert over and over. Then there’s the ones that get the phone call with the obnoxiously loud ring, take forever to find their phone, look at it (still ringing loudly) to see who is calling, and don’t silence the ring while they decide whether or not to answer.
I see you’ve met my dad.
Lol, he must hang out in airports a lot.
Yea I honestly have seen a huge uptick of it in the last few months. Like why the fuck are you setting your email notification to machine gun volleys or fucking crowd cheers.
A neat thing about living in Japan is that there are announcements and signs everywhere telling you to please keep your phone silent and to turn down the volume on your headphones so that noise doesn’t leak out either. ‘Silent mode’ is literally called ‘manner mode.’
Forgot about that until visiting family in Florida. Phones and medical devices beeping everywhere
Don’t try to hang Android phones on boomers. Boomers are dipshits with tech and iphones are designed for toddlers. Majority of boomers use iPhones.
We refer to iphones as boomerphones 😂

I love how this so closely mimics nationalism and its assumption that somebody came from somewhere else.
I don’t think this post is a good fit. The name of the community is “mildly infuriating”, not “absolutely enraging”!
My parents do this. I’ll be sitting across the room at night, playing some hades on my steam deck, and I’ll suddenly get jumpscared by my mum browsing facebook
I have never experienced this
I dont read before responding because what someone else says is irrelevant to me.
Keep shovelin
And stupid kids blasting their calls on loudspeaker, holding their phones like absolute idiots
We used to laugh about sidetalking… Now everyone does, as I call it, the sandwich. Holding flat in front of mouth.
It’s so fucking annoying. Your phone shouldn’t really make ANY sound as far as I’m concerned, but I’ll allow a low volume ring or single beep or bloop for a notification. But if your phone feels the need to make a sound every 20 seconds while you’re looking at the fucking thing, you need to turn that shit off.
