I wish I could understand someone being that lazy that they'd make a rule like this. I just can't.
It's not about "laziness," and you're being slightly indignant by continually describing it that way. It's about tolerance of a nuisance.
No, I think it's about laziness. Non-tolerance requires pressing a button. Laziness is requiring a company, by law, to meet your personal standards of volume when you already have the means to control it yourself.
