in reply to Leviathan • • • Public MessageA some point in the last decade, humanity collectively decided that listening to their phone from the bottom speaker while holding it perpendicular to their ear was the most efficient and least ridiculous way to use it.
Even people who clearly grew up with home phones seem to have forgotten that phones have always had, and still have, an earpiece.

in reply to veggibles • • • Public MessagePeople will do anything to be a nuisance, if fines aren't the solution then what would you propose?
To me this sounds like the right move, although fines should be proportional to income.

in reply to underscores • • • Public MessageI would propose that the first time someone does it, they're removed from the bus and forced to wait for the next one
The second time, they get a fine proportional to income
Third time, banned from that public transit mode for a few years at least

If you're on a >12 hour bus, I don't see an issue with curling up with you feet on the seat next to you to sleep.
Edit: I guess there's no such long busses here because Singapore is so small?

in reply to veggibles • • • Public MessageGlad to hear. I'm pretty sure anyone who plays music on their phone without headphones has a mental illness.
Would be good for our government to send them to correctional facility for treatment.

Unknown parent • • • Public MessageI don't and honestly, I've just leaned into the trope more because it triggers so many people on lemmy.
I don't think I've ever honestly played loud music on a bus. The idea of being bent outta shape if someone plays music in a public space is so strange to me.
So I just choose to be one of the mildly disruptive individuals in everyone's hypothetical just to explore the topic further. 📻
