AIBU to not want to listen to other people's music?

[cathyno5]

Currently on holiday in Spain in a 5 star hotel. Beautiful complex in a quiet rural location by the sea. Incredibly peaceful.

Currently lying by the pool. The two women lying on sun beds near me are playing a radio station through a mobile phone. It's tinny and irritating and spoiling the peaceful environment.

AIBU for thinking this is incredibly selfish in a public space?

And do I

Move?
Say something?
Just put up with it?

This really frustrates me!!

In gardens, parks, beaches, anywhere really, if your music is loud enough that someone else can hear it and be disturbed by it it’s selfish and antisocial.

My husband doesn’t agree with me so maybe we are both U?

YANBU.

Beach (in this country) : massive ghetto blaster blaring out rap.

Train (first class) : family of four, two of them playing a different radio station each out loud on their phones.

People are officially more selfish than at any time ever before.

Our neighbour does this all the time. Radio on in house full blast, windows open. She sits in garden listening to it. You can hear it down the street. It's a semi, so her window is right next up our window. So all the neighbours have to listen to it.

Discreetly ask a member of staff to have a word with them, don’t get involved personally.

I've moved. Annoyed with myself for being such a wimp and not saying anything but I'm on holiday and can't be bothered with confrontation.

I'm amazed at how some people can be so selfish and unaware of others. It seems to be becoming more common. Maybe I'm just getting old!

YANBU! This is my worst nightmare. I have it with my downstairs neighbours and it’s so frustrating. I had to put earplugs in to go in my garden the other day! I hate it when hotels play or allow music by the pool. It absolutely ruins it for me - so much so that I’ll try and find out if the hotel does it before booking. And as for people listening to music or watching videos without headphones on trains - aarrgghh!!! Don’t get me wrong, I love music, but there’s a time and a place.

YANBU. Selfish cows

I am so with you on this OP.

WRT your dilemma, moving sounds like the least stressful option so good idea. But I might have been tempted to ask hotel staff to sort it out. I might even have spoken to the perps but that’s the nuclear option as people get incredibly defensive!

This is where I wish I had El from Stranger Things talent to disrupt electronics and then I could trash their phone etc with my mind.

This pisses me off no end. It's incredibly selfish to think that others should have to listen to your music. Buy some fucking headphones!

You could still complain to staff, even though you’ve moved.

People have no self-awareness. Yet if you politely ask them to turn their music down you will either get a barrage of verbal abuse or get shanked. Depending on where you are. The latter is probably less likely in a five star resort.

The current trend around here is for backpacks with speakers.
