    I was in the surgery waiting room for 12 hours while my mom had spinal surgery and some piece of shit Boomer kept watching political commentary videos on his phone and would very aggressively say to people “This isn’t bothering you, is it?” And when we let him know it was, he’d just move a few seats away - not far enough to make any real difference. I wanted to beat the asshole to a bloody pulp, but I was equally as mad at the hospital who didn’t put an end to it.

    Same with fuckers in restaurants watching sports on their phones, or on speakerphone calls, or kids playing their fucking preschool games with their volume turned up. If we can’t kill these motherfuckers then we should at least be allowed to smash their phones out of their hands.

      I just tell people to please use headphones or turn their whatever to silent. I’ve only once had a guy react not so nicely to that.
