Like, what the fuck. Waiting rooms, libraries, movie theaters, on and on. That same fucking Samsung notification sound, at volume 11/10. For every notification every 20 seconds as Fox/CNN/QVC forces more and more bullshit on you and therefore us. Do you not know that you’re pissing everyone off? Do you not care? I hope it’s because you’re too stupid to turn off sound notifications, but the high volume suggests that you like it and want more. Your generation was the one making us be quiet in public spaces and now you ruin them for everybody. Seriously, fuck you.
There was one person who had a whole ringtone as the notification sound. IT would go for 20 seconds.
Boobedy boop boop
😡
They see it as a status symbol, like the iPhone tone when the original iphone was released. Idiots.
I’m going to start a community called, UnnecessarilyGenerational. This would be post #1.
My first thought was “How is this a boomer thing, I see people of all ages doing this.”
Fucking boomers and their Samsung phones. Why can’t they just be like us Millennials and our Apple iPhones? 😤
Typical zoomer reaction
Its not just notifications. Its also them watching entire videos at high volume in waiting rooms, ads and everything. That or its endless scrolling and completely unrelated audio blasts chained together doing literal psychic damage to everyone around.
It drives me fucking NUTS. The worst part is they’re the ones that will be the first to complain about kids these days being glued to their phones.
OMG my dad does this while I’m on the phone with him. If I had a dollar for every time I had to tell him to turn off the video on his phone so I could hear him…
BO DU BU DUP DUP!
😡😡😡
A neat thing about living in Japan is that there are announcements and signs everywhere telling you to please keep your phone silent and to turn down the volume on your headphones so that noise doesn’t leak out either. ‘Silent mode’ is literally called ‘manner mode.’
Remember Nokia bricks? Couldn’t call them the quietest sounding phone as well.p
I took a commuter train to the big city the other day and I couldn’t believe how many other commuters were scrolling through TikTok with speaker on, or video calling their parents with speaker on. Nobody else wants to hear your shitty music videos.
Do you not care?
bingo. they dont give a fuck.
I don’t know if this is just boomers. I remember a person my age in Uni some years ago who just sat there with her freaking iPhone not silent, end every few minutes a message came with a loud “DING!”
Thats cause they old and cant hear shit…. We are all headed that way.
So? Put it on vibrate.
I don’t know about other people, but I often miss vibration notifications. If I’m doing basically anything at all, even just walking, it’s a good bet I’ll miss it. The pattern of vibration, etc., doesn’t seem to make much difference, either. I basically have to be doing nothing before I’ll detect it. This has been true of every phone I’ve had - flip phones, iPhones, and Androids. I keep it in a front pocket, too, so it seems like that should work.
I still use vibrate all the time. If there’s something I’m specifically waiting for that I don’t want to miss, I’ll turn on the sound.
Same. I also get phantom vibrations sometimes so it’s a toss up for me.
Yeah, there are times when I’m like, “Aha! It’s definitely vibrating now!” Pull it out of my pocket and look, no notifications or anything.
I set the notifications to vibrate and set a ringtone for all calls. I don’t think you should respond to messages immediately.
Vibrate is worst than ringing for him.
We are but I’m gonna have my phone on vibrate cuz I have a shred of self awareness
My dad will not feel the phone vibrate… it sucks getting old. I have tried it all with him even with the loud ring tone still doesnt hear it.
Yeah I’m not a boomer but sometimes I don’t feel the vibration, especially if I’m wearing looser clothes. But if I have it on vibrate all the time I also start getting phantom vibrations when nothing actually happened. Sometimes when my phone isn’t even in my pocket, I’ll think I got a vibration notification.
They are called BOOMers for a reason X)
You may let yourself out
I had a professor whose phone would go off every one or two minutes during lecture. Same guy would use the word “literally” in every other sentence (always incorrectly). So many annoying things in that class.
There are rare cases where full volume is necessary, but definitely not for the vast majority of people. For example, my phone is set to about 50% ringer volume, but I’m also on-call for work sometimes and I have that phone constantly set to 100% so I know that I’ll hear it in any circumstance. It also only goes off once every couple of months or so and not constantly.
