LOST FOR LIFE WROTE: "Are you that stupid? You really can’t see the difference between someone playing loud music at 2 a.m. and a child crying? Me sleeping in my bedroom and someone deciding to play loud music at 2 a.m. is no comparison to being on a form of transportation and child deciding to cry. "
What is the difference?
From my point of view, the sleeper is doing what most people in a residential neighborhood do at 2 a.m. - trying to sleep. The people in the band are preventing this from happening.
How is this differnt from conduct on an airplane. Most people just want to be left along to read, sleep, work, eat, converse, etc. The screaming child or kid running-up-and-down the aisle prevent this from happening.
My point is that when YOU or your children to something that annoys a third person, YOU view the third person as an asshole, jerk, child hater, etc. However, when it is that THIRD PERSON that annoys YOU, then that THIRD PERSON is an asshole, jerk or inconsiderate prick. See, the double standard lives.
I find the untalented heavy metal band practicing at 2 a.m. in a residential neighborhood annoying in the same way I find the screaming child abord a KL - LA flight annoying.
