A few years ago I regularly took the same morning bus to work. There was this maybe 16-17 year old kid who sat on the back and would listen obnoxious rap at full volume on his phone, while hogging the whole seat row with his stuff.
I had my headphones on but the hideous rap blared so loud I couldn’t hear anything else. In my country we rarely interfere with other people’s business, everyone was just sitting tight looking pissed off.
After few minutes I stood up, walked to the kid and told him to either turn that shit off, use headphones like everyone else or I’d throw his phone out at the next stop. He looked at me for a moment completely dumbfounded but turned the noise off and left the bus at the next stop.
I strongly dislike rap in general, but this horror was something that was probably home made by the kid himself or his friends. All I remember about the “lyrics” was that they involved some kind of rape fantasy.
People who listen to music on speaker in public should be euthanized.

He never took the same bus again.
You were everyone’s hero that day.
It’s easier to do when you’re a tall man and happen to look like a bike ganger ;)
Thank you.
Please all other bike ganger-looking people do this for us poor masses who suffer through this garbage
OK fine
I’d happily pay higher fees if the transit companies hired people like you to do this all the time!
What is obnoxious rap? How does it differ from regular rap?

That was the breaking point for me.
