    You’re assuming (incorrectly) that people that do these things live there or that every country has libraries with those spaces. News flash, they don’t. If you’re travelling and working and your hotel/whatever has shitty internet or no desk, sometimes you just don’t have a choice. After all, it’s literally just a person talking. Is it really that annoying just because the person they’re talking to isn’t physically there? Maybe it’s you who is being annyoing for complaining about this.

      Brother are you ok? I genuinely mean that and not in the smart ass way. Shit going on has gotten me salty a good bit too at times and we have to try to keep ourselves from being just adding to the hatred. I havent made any complaints I just mentioned things that do exist that might help in at least some situations because a lot of people are saying theres no option in the comments.

      Anecdotally, I moved from the US to a less developed country and these sorta spaces are everywhere some of the coffee shops have even adapted to having better noise control and more private seating which I think is a great answer for this situation.

        I’m perfectly fine. It’s just kinda annoying when people assume that the guy taking a zoom call in a coffee shop does so becuse he chooses to. A lot of times the people doing that didn’t have a choice. And, after all, it’s just a person talking to another person. If they’re being loud, just tell them.

          I think its definitely valid to be annoyed. I do think a lot of people assume (me included, im not faultless lol) that people dont even consider the other options when they are there they just go to the first place in mind.

            I don’t. I hate working in coffee shops, but I’ve been forced to do so several times for different reasons. Maybe put your best foot forward next time and consider that the other person didn’t have a choice. Funny how you asked me if I was ok, but you’re the one scoffing at strangers for no good reason.
