Noise on national express coach

Lots of people playing videos on their phones without headphones. It's like a madhouse. The driver hasn't said anything. Is this a thing or should it be listened to Via headphones?

YANBU but it seems to be completely acceptable for some reason.
I always make damn sure I've got my own headphones with me, just to shut out the socially unaware people who can't comprehend that not everyone wants to listen to their videos & music. I'd explode with rage otherwise!

I'd ask them to wear headphones

This is why I wear headphones on public transport. Because you can’t rely on other people to.

Put yours in and you won’t notice the noise.

Oh I hate it some one was watching a film then music on the London-Edinburgh train the other week ,its so inconsiderate!

I'm on one now and the driver told everyone to use headphones and not use loudspeaker on phone calls to not disturb others. Now he's carrying on a very loud conversation with a passenger at the front that's louder than anything else!

Drives me mad.

I think it's partly to do with there being no earphone jacks (?) now on phones and wireless earphones have to be bought separately.

Sometimes I think Steve Jobs was the devil incarnate and was out to destroy civilisation.

I'm going to challenge the driver.
