Grown ass adults. Driving in a car to a restaurant, trying to have a conversation with our mother, and my brother, a passenger, keeps getting texts from his adult GF. DING! DING! Loud as all get out. It’s not just one, but a whole convo and he’s texting her back creating the secondary sending sound effects.
Finally after minutes of this and seeing it’s not stopping- I ask him to please set his phone set to vibrate. He acts like I’m asking him to ride on the hood of the car, saying it was inconsiderate for me to ask how he use his own phone- and it might mean that he misses a text from his GF, even though he’s sitting there literally watching the screen. I say it’s inconsiderate and interruptive to everyone else in the car and noise pollution.
AITA?
(Also where are yall on speak to text when other people are around?)
I’ve pulled over the car and **waited** for less. NTA.
NTA. I think I’ve had my phone off silent twice since 2000.
