I'm sure each of us has walked by someone in public who was blasting their music for all the world to hear. What are your thoughts on this behavior?
In my opinion, playing music in public without headphones is just flat out rude. I feel the same thing about watching videos and cell phone calls, but let's focus on music here. It's one thing if I can hear it through their headphones or through their car. They're enjoying themselves, they're trying to make it private (windows rolled up assumedly, wearing headphones), I have no problem with that. But if you're gonna walk around the street blaring music out of your phone without any headphones disrupting everyone like that, it really bothers me.
I would also extend this to private settings, too. Unless it's agreed on, I really don't like it when my family does that around the house like that, either. My dad is a major offender; he'll often blast music from the basement so loudly I can hear it all the way up in my room, and it's very annoying.
How about the rest of you? Does it bother you as much as it does me?
