Outrage grows as people are not using headphones in airports and planes, annoying those around them

[ScottSoapbox]

You think people who don't care about anyone else is going to respond well to be told they are being rude? I don't want to get into an argument with a selfish person that's just going to made me mad. I have no authority to tell anyone to do anything and a selfish person isn't going to say, "yeah you're right, sorry about that I put my headphones on".

That is how social norms work: Negative feedback.

And assuming the worst outcome beforehand is not a healthy way to live.

Create more laws, because of a mild annoyance, and for the people, who don't have the backbone to stand up for themselves.

Or, have consideration for others who might be reading, or doing something that requires brains and or concentration...

What are you going to do when they say "I don't care what you think".
