I suspect its being banned because of people using it in public without headphones or earbuds. I was submitted to that experience for an hour+ in a waiting room one time and now I fully supported the ban to prevent it from ever happening again.
Did you tell them to turn off the fucking speaker?
Have you met people? They are unpredictable. You might get shot just for asking somebody politely to turn off their speaker.
In fact, I was once on a bus where somebody got stabbed because they asked some guy to stop playing music through his boombox (yes, I'm old).
America is scary
Yeah....
I think people are likely to be as violent in most countries, but usually they have to use knives or acid or something like that. For what it's worth, I would far rather be shot than have acid thrown on me.
But yeah. It's a realistic thing that you have to take into account that you could be shot if you anger somebody.
no
I don't know what to say. You shouldn't be that terrified for telling someone to knock it off. I've asked people to do this many times on the bus and here I am, stabbed free.
