Of course, there are those who bray on and on loud enough for everybody to hear, not just their friends. There are also those who blather away, at the top of their lungs, on their cells.
Those AirPods or earbuds work both ways, not only allowing your personal music choices to be kept to yourself but also to block out anything you don’t want to hear.
The fact that those situations exist does not give license to somebody to inflict their music on everybody else at a pool.
(By the way, you quoted me out of context, missed my analysis of the other character in this vignette of life in TV.)
And now for a little history lesson to underline my point about having nice manners:
Remember how the Army drove the dictator Noriega out of hiding? If you don’t know, look it up — psychological warfare — and if you keep looking, you will even find the playlist the military chose. But pleeeeeeese do not download it and take it to the pool.
