Would IBU to start loudly playing some ads for headphones from my crappy tinny phone speakers on the train?

Given the number of other people blaring shite from their own they are unlikely to be affected much tbh.

Agreed. I think if I did actually start to loudly advertise Bose up and down the carriage I might find myself in hot water. I can dream though.

I was about to tell you that it would be terribly rude and inconsiderate. Then I thought about what you had written 😂😂

Worth a try but doubt it will have the desired effect!

It is everywhere now. It drives me insane.

I was on a train recently when I big man stood up and bellowed down the carriage: I don't like your music mate, and I don't want to listen to it. Get headphones or turn it off.
Whoever was blaring their music turned it off. But I did think they wouldn't have if the person complaining hadn't been built like a heavyweight boxer.

I'm not seriously going to do it but for fuck's sake they're driving me insane. Who the hell thinks this is an OK thing to do in a shared space? (Answer: about half the train apparently)

Two wrongs don't make a right. Yes you would be entirely unreasonable. As is every other fucker doing it.

I generally consider myself a reasonable person, but I do think people who play stuff loudly on their phones on public transport should receive the death penalty.

Yeah because you'll look like a twat, choosing to also annoy the other passengers.
