I think his whole point is that if the man had asked him politelyy to turn it down, he would have obliged and turned it down. Instead the man acted as tough the airspace around the gas pump was his and his only....for all BlackSheep knew the man would have been grateful to listen to that song and had he made his opinion known a little more politely then he might have got a different response.

sheep... I think we are getting to it now... you want to have long hair and play your music out there so that everyone has to hear it... LOOK AT ME... I'M SO DIFFERENT... I'M A MUSICIAN.

sheesh.. you want to get a reaction from people... seems you are begging for it. bet you have stickers on your car... in your face musican ones right?

No one cares about your long hair.. it just makes you look stupid... no one likes your music and they would rather you didn't force em to hear it and...

I bet I wouldn't like your stickers or the car they are on. That is the reaction you want... you are looking for that result and now you come here acting all shocked and rightious... If you didn't get this reaction once in a while, you are the type who would just turn it up and get a nose ring or neck tat.

You don't get it because you want to play the martyr or make some statement about anyone who isn't as with it as you think you are.

I bet your car sucks too. what is it?

Or he could have taken the hint, no matter how it was presented, shown some consideration for the elderly man, and his companion in the car who was evidently also annoyed by the volume, and turned it down.

Is his day gonna fall apart if he doesn't listen to his "music" while pumping gas?

I don't think you guys are getting it. The very act of playing loud music in a public place where others have no choice except to listen to it is RUDE. Your definition of "loud" may be different from that of a person whose hearing has not been damaged by years of heavy metal played at full volume.

This is such a problem that in many areas of the country there are lows regulating the size, power, and speaker size of music systems that can be installed in cars.

Sounds like he is part of the problem.

My tinfoil hat has stereo speakers inside. You can listen to DOA and still shield out the rays.

Do you really think that everyone should go around disrespecting everyone else until people actively do something to “earn” respect?

Most of us were taught to treat everyone with respect unless they do something to make themselves undeserving of respect. Generally respect is automatic among civilized people.

I bet you’ve bought into the idea that has many of today’s youth confused: respect = fear & threat.

Shuckins, I predicted this yesterday, thank you. You made my day brighter.

Color me strange (I know many of you have) but when my brother-in-law lost most of his hearing at age 32 from constantly playing his music way to loud (this included walking around with head phones on, CRANKED up so loud you could easily feel the bass without wearing headphones) I invested in mutual funds that have a prime interest in medical companies that make hearing aids. Its doing very well considering that the baby boomers are all hitting deaf retirement, and the next generation is deaf 20 years before their baby-booming parents.

It has nothing to do with old age... I've always felt that way.

Well, if you're gonna pump gas for a living and are going to get upset every time a car pulls in with the radio on, then you're in the wrong business.

Still the point eludes to some - read it how you will - call me what you want - but calling me names shows no better of a person. Lovely how the O' Club becomes nothing more than a put down contest.

What I drive is pointless laz - why - are you bitter? nothing better to drivel about?

You did something rude and wrong and then came here for validation and then expected not to be criticized?

Once again: what did you do to “earn” his respect?

Do you really think that everyone should go around disrespecting everyone else until people actively do something to “earn” respect?

what did he do that was "rude" so start this whole thing?

have some music playing NOT LOUD, so he could enjoy it standing next to his open window?

if noises emitted from your car that others hear is rude well then **** I guess I have every right to go up to any ricer I see and rudely yell at the for the fart can sounds they put out because it personally pisses me off and I hate that noise.

they ARE making that sound intentionally, AND FORCING me to listen to it. and I very very very much dislike that sound.

so basically you are telling me it is my right and I SHOULD go up to each and every one and demand they install a normal and quiet exhaust.

if they refuse I have every right to be a total **** to them, and be pissed off they didn't submit to my demands.

The only two people were there who said anything disagreed with whether or not the music was loud or not. One of them said it was too loud, why do you believe Black Sheep? Go back and read the description and dialog that Black Sheep posted; he was a total jerk about the whole thing.

It’s been stated by many that no one has the right to force everyone to listen to their music in public places. Only jerks choose to.

You quoted three of my questions, what you said doesn’t even make sense or tie into my questions.

Are you also the type who thinks that everyone needs to earn each other’s respect?

Shuckins · « **Reply #74 on:** February 13, 2007, 02:14:05 PM »

Black,

You brought the subject up, and appeared to be quite pleased with yourself.

Yet, it has backfired on you, because from your own accounts of the encounter, it appears to some on these boards that you were guilty of "arrogance of youth."

Ask yourself, "Is that indeed the case?"

And the next time a similar situation takes place, say something like the following: "Sorry sir, didn't mean to bother you. Sure, I'll turn it down."

It's easy, and far preferable for building good will.
