Other people's noise

B

I am presently sitting in a hospital waiting room and am having to listen to a woman playing her phone out loud.

I have moved to the furthest away seat which is around a corner and I can still hear it!

As noise in the form of a TV or radio is often in waiting rooms anyway I am hesitant to ask her to turn it down or off.

It's talking rather than music.

I am super sensitive to noise so perhaps the problem lies with me.

What do you think?

What would you do in these circumstances? 

What is a reasonable response?

  • It reminds me of people with noise on trains. Lots of people these days talk on phones hands free which I find very confusing if they come up behind me. 

    I think in places like waiting rooms and public transport people should use headphones/ear buds. My son listens to things on his phone when he is out, but always with ear buds so the sound doesn't annoy anyone else.
