AIBU to be annoyed by people walking with phones and headphones?

I'm sick of oblivious people walking around staring at their phones whilst they've also got headphones in. They can't see, can't hear and aren't even taking part in real life.

What do you think?

The only time I have to listen to podcasts or music is when I’m walking to or from the station, or when going for a run.

I'm just sick of things I've seen today. This, then a woman who clearly has drug or/and alcohol issues swearing abuse at a man on a mobility scooter who was also swearing. Going to a pub for a meal and three young blokes sitting on bar stools in front of the bar all talking to the young barmaid, effing and Jeffing every other word.

I'm too young to say society is crap but a lot of it is.

So you are just miserable and don’t like people generally. Focus on the people in your life that you do like and leave others be, it’s pointless being mad about stuff that you can’t change.

No that's not true. I just don't like rude slobby foul mouthed and ignorant people. Everyone else is fine.
