They don't care about anyone but themselves. And playing shit loudly on phones doesn't bother them so clearly it doesn't bother anyone else either. Main character syndrome, or something.
lost their headphones? and their empathy?
I don't think you'll find those people on the Fediverse. You might find them on Twitter.
They probably wouldn't answer you anyway, because you're beneath them. People who do that tend to be selfish, narcissistic types who think everyone who is not them and theirs is less than human.
You mean selfish, theseistic types. Theseism is when your pride harms other people. Narcissism is when your pride harms yourself.
It's common in many countries to do this. Especially on buses. Very annoying to listen to 5 people's tiktok feed while riding a cramped and rattling bus.
They're the same ones who drive up the shoulder to leapfrog because their time is more valuable than yours.
It's what they learned to do as children. My kids did this until I taught them that it was rude, and to use headphones. Now they are respectful of others.
Ah so the answer is these people are entitled selfish man-children. Makes sense.
I'm at an event right now that involved thousands of people queuing to check in with carts of gear in a large hotel atrium. One person walked by with their cart and a stupid JBL Bluetooth speaker blasting music. The main character syndrome some people have is insane.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
