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)

What the difference between hearing only one person voice talking in the phone or both persons in that call and is it really more annoying then the noise make by cars and public transport?

Because, I don't want to hear your conversations, your shifty music, or the dumb political video someone sent you. Just keep that to yourself. And let's be honest, people who put that on speaker, put it on blast. Making sure everyone hears it.

I liken it to two people having a loud ass conversation in a library. Have some respect for others, don't be the center of attention.

I didn't mention the music/video part, I agree with that. For calls your post didn't mention that the people on phone are loud, most people use acceptable voice loudness when they are on a call
