Assholes with stereos.

The latest thing in entertainment for those on the go.

If I were to challenge anyone like that where I live (Australia) I would possibly end up in hospital. At the very least I would get an earful of obscene insults.

Agreed.

Plus, men with tape recorders up their noses are so last century.

Otep? shudder Her whiney voice makes me want to chop off my ears and shove them in the remaining holes to block it out. Slipknot or Mudvayne would do nicely, though.

I’d recommend Gorguts. That would scare the hell out of them.

how about headbanging to “white noise” (the hiss you hear in between radio stations on an analog radio), or a single annoying tone, i.e. the Emergency Broadcast Signal

But them you become a Bad Guy with the other neighbors.
I want to do it, too; the four 100W amps of my youth in storage, and Wagner.
It’s particularly bad since I live in the woods and the mother…Are we in the pit? Ah. The Motherfucker is a hundred yards away. Just being able to hear the son of a bitch in the yard when a woodpecker is the loudest thing I’m used to pisses me off.

That’s it in a nutshell, little kids showing off.

I understand about not wanting to hear loud music from a car in your apartment but at a stoplight? 2 minutes of loud music never hurt anybody.

Actually, it does. That vibration is painful to my eyes, head and chest. It’s particularly bad if I’ve got a migraine. The bottom line is consideration, and that you’re (collective you) right to self expression ends at my ears.

It’s everyone’s space, not just those who want to “express themselves”. They don’t know whether or not the person in the next car has a headache, or if the vibration is just excrutiatingly uncomfortable to have beating in their chest or whatever.

It’s just thoughtless and rude.

Jeezus, you have an awfully strange idea that other people agree with what you believe, whether you’ve consulted them on it or not (ref: your current pit thread). I have a measure of permanent ringing in my ears from somebody else’s too-loud music, playing in a place where it did not, under any circumstances need to be that loud. It took less than two minutes’ exposure. When you can restore that, get back to me.

If the music playing in your car is so freaking loud that I have to shout in my own car to be heard, guess which one of us is not an idiot.

Good point, never thought about it that way…it’s just that I have been in the car with friends and have had the music up loud and have never got a negative reaction, that I have noticed anyway on the contrary I had a guy give us a thumbs up.
Anyway, good point. :wink:

Well, I like to listen to MY music in MY car. Not someone else’s Tejano or Rap or Country or whatever. If I wanted to listen to that stuff, I’d be listening to it.

I do occasionally get into Music Wars at stoplights, tho. I usually win.

So, you don’t mind at all if someone sitting next to you at a stoplight with their music so loud that you can’t hear another person in your car?

That’s because most of us try to avoid road-rage incidents by NOT giving you the finger or rolling down our windows and telling you to “turn it down, you fucking little prick!”

Although, we definitely want to. Oh, how we so very much want to. So, kindly turn it the fuck down.

Consider this a summary of thousands of negative reactions you’ve received but been too obtuse and self-absorbed to notice.

When it’s stinking hot out, and I roll the windows in my car up for the duration of the light because your music is too loud, consider that a negative reaction.

Loud music from other cars at stoplights doesn’t actually have to hurt someone else to be damned annoying. I’m trying to listen to music of my own choosing, in my own car - when your music intrudes, it’s annoying, pretty much regardless of what you’re listening to.

That was actually my second thought after seeing this thread title, the first being to wonder if anyone has a stereo asshole.

…tend to play shitty music.

Am I thinking of a different Otep?

Normally that would be a great idea, but not when I’m sitting in a dark room with a damn migraine that has lasted three fucking days now and gee, I’d better cease typing because it hurts like hell!

God, I can’t wait to hear the fuckers tonight… :mad:

This is why Jeebus invented the 12 gauge shotgun, so you can “explain” things to them. :smiley:

Fucker’s too damn loud. :mad:

Shit, so is the sound of my typing on a fucking keyboard! :mad:
