   I’m seriously considering buying a bunch of Bluetooth earphones and gifting them to anyone I see blaring a video or game or music in a quiet public place from their phone.

   What do you think, shall we crowdfund it for the sanity of us all?

     @aral I'd be interested in the result. Will they accept them? Will they actually use them?!

     @meansofescape Sorry to hear it. Can only imagine how infuriating it is.

     @aral I have a downstairs neighbor who is a wannabe-singer and a smoker, and who often perches on her balcony listening to her own recorded voice from the phone's speakers and smoking well past midnight. She is well-off and can afford a place for band practices but has rejected every single piece of advice for reducing both the noise and secondhand smoke that regularly comes from her place. At this point I can either crowdfund a nuke and/or a new place to move away to. 🥴
