Transport for London (TfL) is targeting the “disruptive behaviour” of passengers who play music and make calls using mobile phone loudspeakers.
TfL said most bus and Tube travellers considered such behaviour “a nuisance” and that some even found the additional noise very stressful.
The new campaign follows TfL research that found 70% of 1,000 passengers surveyed said they found films, music and calls being played on loudspeakers to be a nuisance.
The worst are the dinks who play their music loud and are trying to rap along to it. It’s cringe as fuck, they look like fools
It’s a dominance display. They know that you don’t know whether they’re carrying a knife and thus won’t ask them to shut up.
Dinks?
I live in Canada, maybe only we call people Dinks when they’re being morons
It used to mean something different in the US in the 1980s. But based on context I can tell that is not the meaning here.
Double Income, No Kids. Those fuckers who could afford headphones.
Pretty much everyone should be able to get ahold of earbuds.

You can get USB-C earbuds for something like $3. They won’t have all the blingy active noise cancellation stuff, but nobody had ANC on their portable music players up until pretty recently. And they’re probably gonna be clearer than trying to hear a cell phone speaker on mass transit.
I can’t even get a large soda around here for $3.
It was a joke, OP explained themselves. Your point is still very valid. Those people ar just inconsiderate assholes.
Dude I get your point but no, use a better example. Cheap headphones reduce the nuisance only, music still leaks out and now the noise sounds like someone is beating a tin can instead of resembling music.
I always knew Dink as “Double Income, No Kids”.
I don’t think it means the same here however.
