My heartbeat just goes up. It just triggers me so fucking much.

Even talking does’t trigger me that much, it’s something about that phone speaker’s weak crackling sound, I despise that. It’s like the REVERSE of asmr.

    I blame Apple. They removed the headphone-jack, and suddenly access to headphones went from “included” to “buy our expensive AirPods”. Other brands went with it too. I guess this increased cultural tolerance for ‘loud-watching’ in public, presumably starting with kids (who it would be wasteful to buy AirPods for, seeing how easy it is to lose them). Unless everyone had perfect manners, this result was inevitable.

      Believe it or not any Bluetooth headphones work with iPhone’s and androids, no body has to buy expensive air pods, 30$ Bluetooth earbuds work equally well for most people’s needs

      True. But at the very least, get a dongle or wired earphones that directly connect to the phone (usb-c earphones exist, not sure about lighting connector). They are also not too expensive, compared to wireless earphones.
