I feel like this rarely happens anymore. And usually people will turn it off if you actually say something to them.

If that works, just stand next to them and play your own music. Let’s see how they like their music when it’s mixed with some k-pop or a classic Disney song.

Bullshit. They either turn the volume up or punch you in the face. Obviously you don’t use public transport.

What kind of shithole are you living in?
