I eat lunch in the cafeteria at work. Sometimes i like to watch videos of cats doing funny things on youtube during my break. The thing is, i don’t wear headphones and sometimes people give me looks. AITA for watching videos in the cafeteria without headphones?
Absolutely yes, how in considerate do you have to be to not realize that most people do not want to listen to your video during their break.
what about folks having conversation during break? i imagine your response would be the same for this because most people don’t wanna hear you talk about your weekend with a coworker
Every person involved in a conversation has to be able to hear each other speak. The only one listening to your videos is you.
If you had earphones, you wouldn’t need to listen to their discussion anyway, as the earphones would take care of both problems simultaneously, making you the only one that hears your videos, and making sure you can’t hear other people’s conversations.
Being considerate won’t get you noticed, but being inconsiderate certainly will, in all the wrong ways.
