Sitting at my gate today and the woman next to me was scrolling TikTok with the volume on full blast. No headphones, nothing.
I politely asked if she could use headphones and she responded with “it’s a free country.”
This is the third time in the past week I’ve seen people doing this at airports. Normally I just put my own headphones on, but today it really got under my skin.
Did people just collectively stop caring about basic airport etiquette?
