Sociopaths. Absolutely crazy thing to do.

 

Mildly less anti-social but see also neighbours blaring the radio out in their garden on hot days. Thank god everyone else in the area has exactly the same musical taste as them, eh!

Both very antisocial in my book. The absolute lack of self awareness and consideration for others makes me sick. Imagine if we all did this. What an awful cacophony

I don’t care if people are on their phones, but I just find it like has been said, anti social and also quite rude. Keep your volume to a maximum of where you can hear it but others can’t, or put some headphones in! It’s even worse when they get offended when you ask them to turn it down

It is my absolute No1 irritant, hearing other people's music.

For some years, we lived next door to a very inconsiderate couple who played loud music and had the TV on loud.

Where we are now, a couple around the corner from our home would have music playing very loudly until all hours. Thankfully, this is now rare.

The lack of self awareness you mention is astonishing. We have had a young couple move in on the adjacent street, their garden backs onto ours. During our first chat, he mentioned how lovely and quiet it is this area.

During the last hot spell, they would have a radio playing loudly in their garden.

The sound doesn't magically stop travelling at the garden fence you selfish sods.

I've suffered some of this too. Only music I want to hear in the garden is the birds singing

Further to the music in public places. There seems to be a tendency to want to fill the quiet with amplified music. I noticed at Queens  tennis tournament that pop tunes blared out during player change overs as if the audience having a quick chat between points would create a boring atmosphere. Luckily I don't think they do it at Wimbledon
