A woman told the hilarious way she shut down a bus passenger using their phone on loud speaker and people shared the times they did something similar

Because enough is enough. Another trick is to play a loud video when they play a video / music without headphones

Quite a few decades ago, my Dad, my Step-Mom, one of my cousins (who was a year younger than my Dad), and my cousin's wife went to a dinner theater show.
