Funny thing is, if it is a song you DO like, your opinion would be a little different.   Therein, lies the REAL issue.

Wrong Mash....I turn mine OFF when I step out of the car....and I don't play it ground-shakingly loud with the windows rolled down while driving in public.


The way I see it....which you obviously don't....is that the people around me shouldn't be FORCED to listen to my music.


Practice a little consideration for others.

The only time i don't like it is when some kid is pounding some crappy rap from subwoofers all all you can hear is the damn thumping.  Otherwise you can play Abba at a reasonable volume and I wouldn't care.

thats the point of the story I think...

with my window down or door open I can hear my music at the gas pump at a very moderate volume. I have the plain old factory stereo in my Buick, so it is not some bass thumping rap jungle-drum thing going boom.

my gas tank is on the passenger side of the car, and I take the time while the pump is going to empty any trash I have accumulated ao the door is open, and the music is never loud enough that it is "offensive" maybe 1/3 full on the dial.

Every form of music sounds terrible to many people.  It’s rude to make others listen to yours.

You were rude and disrespectful.

Bingo!   Let the whiners whine.   I don't have mine "ground shaking loud" either Shuckins.

All the old guy had to say was

" excuse me sir, but would you be so kind as to turn down your music please while we are refuelling, it would be most appreciated"

kinda like when asking for supplies in a tiger with a blown turret or engine.

And i'm sure there would have been no problem.

Except that the last time the old guy tried that some kid told him to go f*** himself.

Or another possibility is you could have turned down your music when the old guy drove up, and not forced him to have to say anything.

I definitely know when to show respect, especially to elders,  

Seems to me you don't.

No one turns down The Floyd!!!!

I gave her sh*iest eating grin I could muster and said "It beats Rap though don't it?"  [/B]

 You.... Karaya....  Give someone a *****y grin!!   Oh God!  I about wet myself on that one....

Oh, by the way, I’m embarrassed for you; which is fortunate since you don’t seem to know when to be embarrassed for yourself.

Not that it would matter to you.

I once wore an FDB t-shirt into a Scholtski's in Cedar Park, Texas.  It got an interesting response

[Black Sheep]

There are a token few here that are just plain offended by anything. But questioning my character without actually being there is tough. So to have to go into more detail is a moot point, but...

Vertex was correct. The way this man acted and talked was anything but cordial. He didn't ask me to turn it down. Just expected that I would, and he could do the heroes dance or the I told you so.

The window was down, gas tank on driver side. It wasn't loud at all. It didn't have to be. I was right next to the window.

I think he was more offended by the choice of music. As are some of you. I don't care. So what. I think if I was playing something older like Creedence or Jimi or the Stones I would've got the same response. Or I think he was offended that I'm a long haired musician driving a nicer vehicle may have pinched a nerve too. Or he couldn't afford 'teh hi octane'. Or just found out he has to get a colostomy bag. Who knows. Some of you guys did miss the point. Respect comes to those that earn it. He didn't. IMO

I think they've done reports on those earbuds that are popular for MP3 players now, and they actually cause fairly substantial hearing loss do to the sound going directly into the early and not dispersing like regular headphones would.  Teenagers...

There is this white kid down the block from me and every time he drives by I can hear his Damn rap coming from his car so loud  it drowns out the radio in my room, now note that it's winter here and that my windows and doors are closed as well as his.  This kid must not have a job because he is coming and going all day and all night.  There needs to be a law that I can shoot anyone playing their radio that loud at 3 in the morning, I wouldn't shoot to kill as long as it wasn't rap.
