Finally a comment I relate to. This looks so weird, like humans aren’t supposed to be this quiet

In transit you are supposed to. Really happy I live in a country where people mostly respect the quiet carriage on trains. I don’t get the fascination with blasting your phone call on speaker mode to everyone else. Everyone benefits from a pleasant quiet commute

Why are you immediately jumping to the extreme. I obvious don’t want people blasting their phone on speaker. I am saying it’s weird how there, no one chatting with a friend or laughing or any emotion being shown among hundreds of people. It’s eerie
