Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

if you sit in a public place and have your phone on speaker phone (a phone call or music or whatever), i have little to no respect for you. (self.unpopularopinion)

I had an ex who would sit next to me on the couch while I was watching TV and start watching social reels and clips on her phone at full volume.

I’d lose my shit and ask her to get her head phones or go into another room. She never understood my issue.

I had a gf who would do that in the next room while I was sleeping. Hearing the same 10 second music or whatever clip from Instagram or TikTok 4 times in a row is pretty annoying. I ended up getting her AirPods so I didn’t have to hear it.

Did it interrupt your tv sound? Or did your tv sound interrupt her SoMe sound?
