Roland Gelford, a member of the baby boomer generation, made sure to have his awful ringtone set to maximum volume on his phone before going out to run a few errands, sources who can’t hear themselves even think anymore report.

I’ll take the dumb ringtone over some kid scrolling through TikTok full volume on the bus any day
- Oh no. Oh no
- Except this is also old people
  
  I have seen so many old people blast their phone at full volume. I have seen barely any young people do it
  
  Then you don’t get out much
- Same, fucking hell. When did this become a socially acceptable norm?
- Don't travel to South America then. Seems like the norm to play out loud from your phone there, no matter your age. I once sat at a restaurant in Colombia, where the restaurant was playing loud music, and every other table had someone also playing their own music or TikToks from their phone. I felt like a crazy person being the only one seemingly annoyed by it.
And they still don't answer the phone.
It’s funny bc they can’t hear any volume setting.
Old-timey telephone ring incoming
Onion throwing nothing but softballs lately, wth
