Headphones exist for a reason. Use them.

There’s a special kind of boldness in blasting your music for everyone to hear, but it’s not the flex some people think it is.

These brutally hilarious memes are here to say what we’re all thinking and shame the loudest among us. Because sometimes, a little public humiliation is the best way to teach a lesson.

1. Someone Has To

Funny how fast an extra set of earbuds can solve the problem when used creatively. Some problems have simple solutions.

It takes a special kind of boldness to assume strangers will love your music as much as you do. Spoiler alert: they don’t.

Hell might sound extreme, but for anyone who’s had to endure those conversations, it feels like justice has been served.

The moral of the story is clear. Using a speakerphone in public is the kind of offense that earns you a special spot in the underworld.

Some crimes don’t need a trial, and public speakerphone use is definitely one of them.

10. You Are NOT the Exception

The mental gymnastics here are unmatched. Somehow it’s annoying when others do it, but when it’s their turn, they think it’s their right?

If hypocrisy had a soundtrack, it would probably be blasting from this person’s phone.

16. Where Can I Find a Rocket?

This hero didn’t just solve the problem; he sent it straight to the stratosphere.

17. Same

The only thing worse than a loud speakerphone call is a full-on video chat. Nobody wants to be an unwilling guest in your FaceTime.

It’s like they missed the memo on basic public manners.

It’s always when you’re peacefully minding your business that someone’s loud video comes swinging out of nowhere. It feels like a personal assault on your sanity.

TikTok in public is the new test of patience. For those of us sensitive to noise, every unmuted scroll feels like a direct challenge to our sanity.
