You don't put a music on out-loud anywhere in public, that's what headphones are for. It's just a common sense etiquette that most people follow. The fact that it was Chinese /foreign music just made it worse..I've ran into too many Chinese people who just choose not to be courteous and mindful of others. In my undergrad days, these two overseas Chinese middle-aged men were trying to communicate to each other from two opposite ends of a crowded bus...yes they were shouting towards each other in Chinese (a language which isn't pleasing to the ears, but besides the point) across my college bus. Seriously who does that? Is that something in the culture where men have to be as loud as possible to portray masculinity? | ||

Although this is true, it's very passive-aggressive, I'm not sure there are better ways of doing it. It's such an obvious social rule not to play music in a situation like that, that telling someone feels very patronizing. The music competition wasn't the most mature solution, but I think it did get the point across. | ||

Slavs are the ones with names like Vasili and Dmitry, who speak with eastern European accents and talk about playing with scraps from Soviet tanks in their childhood. They are nice people, but form a very obviously distinct social group in this office. | ||
