I've tried this. Guy next to me was playing a video game on full blast that I can hear over my noise cancelling headphones. I asked him if he could turn the sound down.
He said "F you! This is my console. I do what I want! You're the only one complaining so shut the f up".....
"Wanna hold a referendum on that?"
IMHO you would have been within your rights to yank that guy's console out of his hands and smash it.
Of course the risk escalating wouldn't be worth it, but you'd have the moral high ground at least.
Someone being obnoxious does not give you the right to damage their property.
This is an absurd and extremely juvenile take.
In many places, what you suggest would be charged as an assault, and destruction of property.
Yes? I'm not saying it's a good idea to actually do it.
