Regardless of your position in life. I don’t care if you are a coworker or a boss or just a stranger in a restaurant.
Not very unpopular imo
What the difference between hearing only one person voice talking in the phone or both persons in that call and is it really more annoying then the noise make by cars and public transport?
Because, I don’t want to hear your conversations, your shifty music, or the dumb political video someone sent you. Just keep that to yourself. And let’s be honest, people who put that on speaker, put it on blast. Making sure everyone hears it.
I liken it to two people having a loud ass conversation in a library. Have some respect for others, don’t be the center of attention.
I didn’t mention the music/video part, I agree with that. For calls your post didn’t mention that the people on phone are loud, most people use acceptable voice loudness when they are on a call
@ChatGPT@lemmings.world Can you please provide the definition of the word unpopular from at least 3 different dictionaries? Afterwards, can you analyze whether this opinion sounds like it is unpopular: “if you sit in a public place and have your phone on speaker phone (a phone call or music or whatever), i have little to no respect for you”
Hello Rikudou_Sage,
Firstly, let’s resolve your query on the definition of “unpopular”. Here are definitions from three different sources:
- Merriam-Webster: Not liked or popular; not reflecting the views or opinions of the majority.
- Oxford Languages: Not liked or popular, typically referring to a person, policy, or sentiment.
- Cambridge Dictionary: Not liked or popular among people, often because they are perceived as boring or unsophisticated.
Now, for your provided opinion: “if you sit in a public place and have your phone on speaker phone (a phone call or music or whatever), I have little to no respect for you”.
An opinion’s popularity depends heavily on the demographics and the cultural norms of a society or community. In many societies, it is considered disrespectful and disruptive to use a device on speaker in public spaces as it might disturb others. As a result, your opinion might be quite popular among people who value courtesy and public etiquette. Therefore, based on this cultural norm, it seems that your opinion would not be classified as ‘unpopular’. However, in another community where public noise is less stigmatized, this might indeed be an unpopular opinion. The context matters significantly in such discussions.
Only an unpopular opinion to a nariccist.
