    My double standard is that when I see someone with a boombox playing music in public, I’m chill and open to it. When someone does the same thing on their phone, I must work to enhance my calm.

    Is it the sound quality? Maybe in part. But there’s more to it.

      Maybe it’s that a boombox playing music is more social and open, whereas what someone does with their phone is typically meant to be private, but some people play their music or w/e noise out loud from it as if only they can hear their phone and you’re just supposed to pretend they aren’t overstepping boundaries.
