I dunno, this sounds like it's kind of begging for a fight or some sort of confrontation.

You could take out your phone and have a fake conversation right next to the person lol.

LPTs like these assume no crazy people exist in the world. It's the same people who are like "of someone's is being annoying on the subway just confront them". Yea sure do that if you want to enter the lotto for being featured top page on r/publicfreakout

I mean, you gotta go in expecting a fight... but some people chose violence 👋

Choosing violence is a SLPT, not LPT.

Guess that depends on your desired outcome

It's a SLPT. Nobody's desired outcome is catching a case. Or tripping and getting a concussion. Street fights are lame shit.

Desiring violence is just stupid every single time. Always.

Disagree, I'd give my left nut to throttle my last boss. I just wouldn't go to prison for it. Or risk my personal health.

My last day there, I realized I could burn the place down. I saw there for almost 10 minutes considering it. And that, kids, is how you know you need to quit without notice.

You make a really good case for just how stupid violence is.

And yet you say you disagree with violence being stupid..

It is. Wanting violence is natural after a certain point, but throwing away something precious in your life to smack some idiot around (or possibly get smacked around yourself) is just stupid.

Someone talking loudly on speaker phones in public are the exact people that will punch you in the face if you pull some shit like this.

Yeah i’d imagine the person on the phone would unironically yell something like “MIND YOUR DAMN BUSINESS”

I've done this, and I told the person on the phone all about the rude jackass on speakerphone. I made a point to be audible and loquacious but polite and not SUPER insulting. Just making fun of him for bad manners and situational unawareness.

When dude noticed and started to say something like "hey, fuck yo-" I just made a cartoonishly animated show of covering the phone mic, holding it away, and like a rabid weird Al yankovic screamed "IM ON THE PHONE!" At him with the "just a minute" gesture.

I think I outcrazied him, because he did not opt to continue our interaction. He also didn't continue his phone call, but I'm pretty sure it just made everybody else more uncomfortable than if I'd not tried to intervene.
