Verdicts are the opinions of people who voted here, based on one side's account. The majority is not always right.
On a 40-minute bus journey, a woman sitting across the aisle from me played short videos on her phone, out loud, one after another. No headphones. The same laugh track kept repeating.
After about fifteen minutes I leaned over and said, 'Sorry, would you mind turning that down or using headphones?' She said she didn't have any headphones, and turned it down slightly. Then she muttered something about people being uptight.
She says she didn't have headphones with her, it's a public bus and people talk loudly on the phone all the time, and she did turn it down when asked.
Deliver your verdict to join the deliberation. Back to the case.
Comment on the dispute, not the people. No names, guesses about who anyone is, or abuse. Jury room rules.

No headphones, no videos. It's not complicated.
Subtitles exist too!
People talking on the phone is not the same as a laugh track on repeat.
She did turn it down though. That's a partial win.
