I do not agree at all. It's just not normal to listen to a single song for 35 times in a row unless you are musician working on it. It's even weirder when you play it loud, harassing your coworkers.

Your first part just sounds judgemental (unless you mean it in a strictly statistical sense) but I agree fully with your second sentence. Tolerance for repeated listening is such a personal thing that someone who does it in a group setting has to be some kind of sadistic sociopath.

Nah, just thoughtless is enough.

Everybody seems to assume that tolerance for non-repeated listening cannot be a personal thing too.

The issue is respect for shared space, whatever the preferences.
