MODERATORS
I was in a train replacement coach the other week, and sitting behind me were some guys who were watching YT Shorts or TikTok (Probably the latter) over speakers. I didn't have my own earphones with me, so I had to hear his shit the whole way through.
If I was any sharper, I would have asked: "What gives you the confidence that any random person nearby appreciates what you're hearing?"
I find that this works for most of my interactions with strangers. Question what media they are consuming and start a conversation from there.
If they felt so inclined to play their audio loudly I see it as an opportunity to engage with that.
Oooh, interesting! Next time someone is playing music on the bus, drag will tell them their music sucks and they should put on Elvenking instead.
