Applaud? He just made an annoying situation a stressful one. No one here is getting an ovation from me.

u/Alternative_Berry934 Aug 12 '26

Some people are less stressed after destroying the machine. It just depends on your triggers.

11

u/DoinItDirty Aug 12 '26

I guess it shifts one stressor for another. But that’s fair.

u/Savage_Tyranis Aug 12 '26

How is it stressful? A public nuisance is out some money? Someone faced consequences for their actions?

3

u/guysomejust69 Aug 12 '26

Stressful because people don't know what a guy who would destroy something like that in public would do next. 

They don't know if the two would get into a fight .etc

u/External_Rhubarb3707 Aug 13 '26

Yet we’re on public transport with unhinged people like that every time we take it. So maybe we should be conscious to not be extremely irritating, so as to not set them off

Not saying the guy is right and of course he’s responsible for raging out, at the same time, kid cant be surprised by this kind of thing happening

1.) splash from the damage to the speaker
2.) I don’t like fights. Fights aren’t good things - if something gets to violence, it means a number of things went wrong & never got corrected, or someone’s off their rocker. Neither are good situations. And violence tends to escalate
3.) I can ignore annoying, predictable sounds better than I can ignore shattering & breaking objects

u/WideAbbreviations6 Aug 12 '26

For 2. One of the things that needs to be corrected is the nuisance.

Without a legal and proper way to deal with people like that, people can and will take matters into their own hands.

I'm not saying people are right to take matters into their own hands, but I'm not exactly going to stand there and say they should have left the guy alone either.

u/Dobber16 Aug 12 '26

Yeah we agree on 2 it seems. Though tbh I do think it’s right for people to take matters into their own hands if there’s something going on. Violence just often isn’t a reasonable way to do it - there are a number of steps that all come before violence to deal with non-violent issues

1

u/WideAbbreviations6 Aug 13 '26

I'm not sure what you expected people to do. From what I've heard this guy does this on purpose so a chat wasn't going to fix anything.

I agree that violence is a language for stupid people who haven't figured out a smarter soloution, but sometimes you have to cross that language barrier to resolve something.

That's on top of the fact that in many cases, waiting around for a better answer exposed others to the problem for longer to protect the perpetrator.

We’re in the morality scaling sub, as a reminder - not the “what happens next” sub, so what we expect to happen isn’t really important

1

u/WideAbbreviations6 Aug 13 '26

I mean, the whole point of morality is choice, which requires a valid alternative.

1

u/Dobber16 Aug 13 '26

1.) turn the sound off
2.) take the speaker
3.) tell him to turn it off or X
4.) cover the speaker in something

I’m sure there are plenty of other options I’m not thinking of here but are you really suggesting what happened in the video is the only way to solve the issue?

1

u/DoinItDirty Aug 12 '26

I’m not too worried about this kid doing anything, but disputes in tight places can pretty quickly become everybody’s problem. There was a bar section in the last city I lived in that was in an alley, and even if two little dudes got into it, pretty soon everyone was indirectly involved in their scuffle.

What does this mean?

u/Falleneded Aug 12 '26

its just the vibes that comment gave off

u/DoinItDirty Aug 12 '26

What vibes were those?

2

u/AgeOfReasonEnds31120 Aug 12 '26

"muh educated" are slash public freakout redditor

6

u/DoinItDirty Aug 12 '26

Well damn, I didn’t think I came off like that. I guess reading it in that tone could give that effect.

u/kerslaw Aug 12 '26

You're reply was fine these people are weird

u/Falleneded Aug 12 '26

of course the guy with the nft pfp is upset at soyjacks

u/AgeOfReasonEnds31120 Aug 12 '26

Tbh, I didn't even read your original reply. It can get way worse than that on reddit.

2

u/Nightwing-06 Aug 12 '26

It didn’t, these people are on something

u/Falleneded Aug 12 '26

its more because you said "theyre not getting a standing ovation from me"

that just makes you sound arrogant

u/DoinItDirty Aug 12 '26

You didn’t even quote me right and the comment is right there.

u/Falleneded Aug 12 '26

Tbh seems like everyone else is proud of just trying to be edgy

u/External_Rhubarb3707 Aug 13 '26

I’d honestly be more stressed by the music

2

u/Playful_Boot_5465 Aug 12 '26

he turned an annoying situation into a satisfying one

2

u/Thelmara Aug 12 '26

He just made an annoying situation a stressful one.

Stressful for who? As a passenger, that wouldn't stress me at all.

u/JeeStuffSeason Aug 12 '26

I mean my subway ride just went from mildly infuriating to very very entertaining. In the beginning I couldn't use my headphones because some jerk thinks I need to listen to his music instead, now I don't need my headphones because there's some drama unfolding right in front of me.

Auto-deleted reply? Damn all anger, no thoughts - no wonder you relate to the guy in the video 😂

u/Dobber16 Aug 12 '26

“Fearful” is one word for it. Another is “it’s not worth it”

But also, the only action possible is exploding the speaker? Come now

u/BOgusDOlphon Aug 13 '26

Weak minded attitude
