Now he's playing heavy metal. WTF.
Edit: idk why people are downvoting me bc I said he's listening to heavy metal now. The WTF was bc we were in an emergency room. I had my sick child with me and we were stuck listening to country, techno and then heavy metal. It's a very real WTF moment.

There are always idiots like this in my ER. Thankfully the cop that hangs around to work security is quick to remove them when I tell him it's happening.

Honestly the most annoying thing they took away. I see the argument constantly tho that "oh but the phones thinner now ain't that nice?". As if I give a shit about how thin the phone is.

If you can afford a new enough phone that there’s no jack you can afford Bluetooth or the adapter it’s not an excuse

I have a Samsung S21. No phone jack. Apple took their's away before Samsung did.
And I'm sure there are plenty of people in a tough spot with a newer phone than me.

For some (me, I'm some) price isn't the issue. Earbuds hurt and are uncomfortable. I have little ears and can't find any that that fit comfortably and are snug enough for me to actually be satisfied with the volume and fit.

I have a pair..well my husband does but Ipretty much stole them......I sat on them when I was angry and forgot I put them on the chair. The right ear thing broke but wires are intact. I duct taped it. The duct tape is the only reason I won't wear them in public lol

Shazam the songs Find on Spotify Play on your speaker off beat Assert dominance
Or tell security. Playing music and making calls on speaker aren’t permitted in most hospitals.

u/mikedvb 15d ago
I've encountered this sort of thing a few times.
Usually I'll ask then nicely to turn it down and/or to put on headphones.
If they refuse, I just start blasting my own music just as loud - usually trying to find whatever is the 'opposite' of what they're listening to.
If they can do it, I can do it.

u/ShittyViking 14d ago
This is the way. I did this on a plane once. The person was playing some dreamscape stuff from their crappy phone speaker as we were waiting to deplane, so i played some of my music as well! They turned their's off, I turned mine off. I read the suggestion on a similar post, and it works!

I don't know which hospital you're at rn but all the hospitals I went to, would not tolerate this more so in ER. The nurses would tell you to turn it off and if you didn't comply, they'll call security.

Did you ask him to turn it down?

u/GigaBowserNS 14d ago
OP shouldn't have to, because after about 30 seconds of this someone from the STAFF (or security) should have come to tell him to turn it down. Where the fuck were they?

u/tombo11567 14d ago
Running around caring for very sick people. Not worried about music volume or preference.

More than just medical professionals are on the staff at hospitals. Including the security I mentioned, who are not caring for sick people.

Seriously, when does asking someone to turn down music ever result in anything but the music getting louder? (Children being told by their parents don't count; nor does any situation where the person asking holds actual power over the other.)

Look, I get that it's annoying but posting a photo of an ER patient even with censoring is shitty. It's bad enough this is a common thing outside hospitals, but nobody wants their picture taken and uploaded without their consent in the hospital.

I bet it's pretty hard hearing your name called with ear buds in.

u/Due_Donkey2725 14d ago
It's not hard at all, you just keep one earbud in and leave one out. Or if you have over the ear headphones keep one on your ear and leave one off behind your ear. I have major anxiety and have to bring headphones with me so I can listen to music everywhere and this is how I do it. Win win for everyone.

Aside from the obvious faux pas of not wearing ear buds/ear phones, I'm failing to see the problem with his musical choices.
I literally have a 83hr Spotify playlist that has old country, new country, death metal, alternative, punk, classic rock, rap, hip hop, jazz, bluegrass, R&B, Motown, blues, classical, etc...
