It seems to be socially acceptable to watch videos on your phone with the sound turned on in public places like restaurants and cafes in Memphis. I've seen *so many* people of all ages here doing it, and nobody seems to complain. Is this a regional thing?-
@aaronpk I haven't been to Memphis since before this was accessible technology. But it does seem more common in St. Louis than in Seattle. (And is blessedly rare in Amsterdam except among tourists.)

@aaronpk It’s not regional and in addition to being annoying, if they are near enough to me it literally hurts my autistic brain, even when I’m wearing my ear defenders.

Same here in coffee shops, trains, public transport and isn't just younger generations.

@aaronpk that’s disturbing. I don’t see that here in SF. Every so often there’ll be someone watching a video with audio on transit, but they get “the eye” for it.
