I’m definitely not wrong here. Literally everyone.

Stop it.

    The vibration on one of my phones is so weak that I basically never feel or hear it, including when the phone is in the pocket of my leggings (so pressed against my thigh) or sitting on my wood coffee table. I can’t find an option in the settings to adjust the vibration intensity.

    I agree with you if you can put your phone in a pocket.

    However as a counter-point: a lot of women keep their phone in a bag where they wouldn’t necessarily feel it vibrate because women’s clothing often doesn’t even have pockets, so I can’t really say they should mute their phone notifications.

    I have no idea why chat apps default to making a sound when messages arrive and are sent when the screen is on though—that’s entirely obnoxious, no excuse for leaving that enabled

      I totally agree. My wife is an amazing person and learned to sew. She now makes customs clothing for people including our two girls. Since they were 3 and 4 they would say “look Dad! My dress has pockets!”

      At this point 9 and 10 they no longer point it out because every thing they own has a pocket. Leggings, yeah side and back pocket. Pants, yeah an actual pocket sized for function and not one that fits a single mint. A dress, yeah a hidden pocket along the side seems. I am super happy my girls get to grow up with this small life adjustment.

      So let’s start adding pockets to womens clothing and stop the mandatory purse plague at its core.

    Nope, I have a different Owen Wilson ‘wow’ for each of my contacts and apps and it has (rarely) blurted put at exactly the right time during a meeting and been met with laughs.
    So I’m keeping it.

    My phone is always in do not disturb mode and only 1 person can ring me while in do not disturb mode. All texts and other notifications are forever silenced. It helps me focus and not become dependent on my phone.

    But it doesn’t really bother me if other people’s sounds are on. Bigger things to worry about imo.

        It’s just a phrase to express that this isn’t a big deal. You’ve got to pick and choose your battles, and to most people, this one isn’t worth fighting. You definitely don’t speak for

        The entirely of humanity

        especially in a post that you made specifically about unpopular opinions.

          No, it’s not “just a phrase” otherwise folk wouldn’t pick up on it.

          But that’s my opinion.

            It literally is just that. Most of us don’t give a shit enough about it to fight against it. There are bigger problems to worry about is just a fact.

            Also, are you suggesting that a literal phrase isn’t a phrase, because it’s your opinion?

        I’m not thinking its a chest pump. I’m literally saying that i dont think it’s worth me stressing over it. It’s a phrase to express that. But go on thumping your chest or whatever you do to communicate while pompously thinking you speak for all of humanity

            Quit trying to speak for others. It makes you look pretentious and a fool.

            You’re not impressing anything on me, and instead are just welcoming yourself to my blocklist. Go waste someone else’s time.

    As a “young” adult it absolutely baffles me people use notifications. I already check my phone enough without them, and if I did have notifications on I’d literally get a ding every 20 mins. If I’m expecting a call sure I’ll turn them on, but apart from that it’s an alien concept to me.

    I mean the whole point of a notification is to well, notify. Vibration alone isn’t always adequate. Unless it’s going off repeatedly I don’t see the issue. Some sounds are normal in public.

    Personally my phone is always on vibrate except for calls from certain people.

    I’d really like to see blocking of cell signals with shielding paint made legal. Too many people talking on speakerphone in public places like buses, theaters, and libraries. You wanna talk on your phone? Go outside.

      There was an episode of QI where Stephen was playing with a device where you point its directional microphone at someone, and it plays their voice back with a slight delay making it very difficult for them to speak. The guests had to try to read a children’s book aloud while he pointed it at them. None of them except Alan could do it.

      I would like to buy one of those devices lol.

      I mean theaters and libraries should be escorting you out. Talking on the phone on a bus though is not that bad. Better than while driving.

        In the US… “Federal law prohibits the operation, marketing, or sale of any type of jamming equipment that interferes with authorized radio communications, including cellular and Personal Communication Services (PCS), police radar, and Global Positioning Systems (GPS).”

        Does paint count as equipment? I don’t think there’s been a court case yet. You’d think it would be legal under privacy and property ownership law because the “jamming” doesn’t bleed onto other people’s property. But who knows with the mess of a government we have.

          If you check the law in question, I imagine it will have a specific definition of jamming as an active transmission, not a passive physical barrier.

    I do keep mine on vibrate, with no sound, but I’ve found more recently that I’ve completely missed the vibration a fair few times. Sometimes in a fanny pack, a jacket pocket, or even in my pants pocket. The sound notification is probably more reliable

    Well. It is a notification. It supposed to notify you have a notification. If i disabled the sound, i cant be notified. So it beat the purpose of having it disabled. What if i have it in my bag and i didnt notice the vibration?

    Personally, I have a low ping sound and have mine on when i put it in my bag. Though, i put it on vibrate mode when the phone is in my hand or im in the middle of long texting.

    But, i despise those loud cringe custom notification. Plus, android have new feature called notification cooldown, it minimise the haptic and sound within 10 minutes after the first notifications. It would be better if i can mute the sound after the first notification.

    I work in a field that is essentially always on. If I am on a project I may have to stop what I am doing and go home to start working. It sucks but it pays well to cover my student loans and for my kids to be able to do the activity they want. If I miss an email from a client that needs a response I may lose the company that client. Then potentially after that my job.

    Sorry it bothers you that I got an email. My family comes first.

    Not sure what situation or event annoyed you but a broad blanket statement without consideration is just as wrong as whatever is annoying you.

        I’m going to argue that your post does not make that clear. HOWEVER your comments to everyone and the general discussion do. You are right, and I’ll be honest I even agree with the spirit of what you are saying. Turn off the discord notifications, Snapchat, etc. Nails on a chalk board.
