I LISTEN TO LOUD MUSIC IN PUBLIC

[Leaf]

Dead on.


I'm sitting in my car, on the ferry, heading home from work ...it's a ten minute ferry ride. This hippy woman in her 50's comes up and says "can you turn down your music, I can hear it in my car."

She was rather irritated.

I was listened to some metal. I was unwinding.

At first, I did... but I started to get choked. It's 5 pm...hardly "noise violation" hour... it's a ten minute ride. And fuck it, she was infringing ON MY space. so I turned it back up.

My friend came over, and imitated the woman. She had seen it from her car, and she got annoyed too. Bare in mind, if this woman had approached me in a friendly way, or without commanding me, I would have probably felt differently.

Two ferry workers came up to my car, tapped the window, and said "hi " and I'm all like "hey Len"... second time it's like "hi Glenn" (yeah Glenn and Len...)

I didn't know it at the time, but she had gone and complained. She said " Can someone PLEASE tell that guy to turn the music down!! I told him and he did, but then he turned it back up again!!"

ah poor lady. That was my uncle and a dude who LOVES loud rock. hahahahahahahahahaahahahahahhah!!!!!!


Best part... I cranked it as we were leaving...then turned it down when I drove past the ferry workers so she'd think that they actually did tell me turn it down and I had just not listened. This way they don't get any shit ya know?


I have NEVER been annoyed by loud music in my life.

Dood, that sounds righteous! What were you cranking, yo?

Have you ever lived in a college dorm room?

With a roommate whose idea of good music is J-pop (that's Jewish pop) and Yanni?

The point is, I have.

When upgrading stereo components for any vehicle I've ever owned, my main concern is that it sound good to ME, the DRIVER, seated INSIDE THE CAR.

I tell this to the employees at the car audio places and they're like "what? why?" As if the whole point of modified car stereos was to make sure everyone else could hear what you were listening to. Or at least, <200 hz of what you're listening to.

My van currently needs a stereo upgrade pretty badly. No bottom end at all.

I also like to smoke in restuarants and if someone complains I invite my friends over for a cigar and chicken party.

worst place ever for noise.

J-pop (that's Jewish pop)

i though j-pop was japanese pop?

[a bebop a rebop]

i though j-pop was japanese pop?

Yeah, normally, but not this time. Though my other roommate does listen to regular j-pop, k-pop (korean), and c-rap.

c-rap is Chinese rap.

my alter ego needs a posse sidekick protege named c-rap.

What do you do with the cigar and chicken? That's the real question.


If your point is that it may be offensive... tough shit. The stereo was at 25...it goes to 50. In terms of actual volume, it apparently, according to everyone around me that I talked to, was noticable. I have a stock stereo. No woofer. she was a cranky bitch. She needed the metal. She needed it bad.

[HeuristicsInc]

yeah, i had some lady at work tell me the same thing, in the same sort of tone of voice. you get much more flies with honey, or something. i mean, man, it was after 6 and everything.

Are all people in Canada related?

And if so - are Glen and Len actually two people? Or just one person with two heads like Zaphod Beeblebrox?

...and in more news from those wacky Canadians:

http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/bloody ... 89739.html

...The recently launched and now controversial advertisement which concludes with the tagline "where the bloody hell are you?" has now run foul of the Canadian regulator.

But it's not the tagline that's the trouble this time as much as the opener: "I've bought you a beer".

Tourism Minister Fran Bailey said she had been told by Canadian authorities they could not accept that line

"The Canadian regulator says that this implies consumption of unbranded alcohol.

Ms Bailey clarified that it was not beer consumption itself that was causing the problem for the Canadians but the fact the beer was unbranded.

"That's some sort of quirky Canadian regulation," she said...

WTF?

[Fistula]

The stereo was at 25...it goes to 50.

Woah, dood! I thought an amp going up to 11 was righteous! But a stereo that goes up to 50? That's the shit.

WTF?

Whaddya mean "WTF?"

Dude, UNBRANDED BEER!!! I mean, c'mon.

In my college dorm, some guy blasted the Smurf theme song on repeat play for FOUR HOURS. On purpose. He had left for classes or something. I was pissed. That F*&%T@$#!!!!

La la la la la la, la la la la la.....
