Why? It’s one thing when it is completely silent – that would be absurd –but when it is full of noise pollution? Rude, loud people, constant shitty music blaring out of every spot.

Construction noise, traffic noise, conversations, people being people, etc. It's not a quiet space and we can't really expect it to be.

But I agree, that doesn't give everyone carte blanche to be a cunt.
