Does anyone else get bothered by this: Part II

Recommended Posts

I live in a small town and was in at the local restaurant eating/conversing with some friends. A guy, approximately 65 years old sits at the counter behind us and starts playing music (crappy stuff). He sets the volume up loud enough for everyone around to hear it and places the phone on the counter. 

1. Ignore it and do nothing.

2. Politely ask him to turn it down.

3. Walk up to him, pick up his phone and smash it into powder.

4. Go sit next to him, invade his personal space and stare at him until he leaves.

5. Sit next to him, take out my phone, and play AC/DC as loudly as possible.

6. Follow him home and punch him in the face in front of his family.

If it was me it would be good music.  Plus I'm not that old (yet).

This is my pet peve. Happens everywhere in asia. Planes, busses, wherever. People watch TV with no headphones.

On our flight from Kuala lumpur to Colombo, some chick was watching TV with the volume on. So I pulled up "what does the fox say" on Apple music and played it as loud as my phone would go, which is much louder than hers.

She finally looked up at me. I said "annoying right?" 

Some white guy behind her laughed. My wife sighed. She hates when I do stuff like that. But the b!tch put her headset in after that.

I would have to know your definition of crappy music. If we are talking rap music I would opt for the smashing of the phone and throat punching the old geezer.

Interesting... coming home from the holidays our flight was delayed; we were all stuck in the gate area.  An Asian couple decided to turn on some movie, no headsets, and just blasted it so that we could all hear it.  A while later my daughter was talking to my wife; I looked at her deadpan and said "honey, could you talk a little quieter, I want to hear how the movie ends" with a head nod to rude Asians.  She looked at me for a second then we both started laughing.  :D

I have seriously considered buying a bunch of cheap haleadphones off of taobao and just chucking them at people on the subway and the bus and such.

Once I was on the bus, and some dude was blaring pron. That would be unacceptable in America, but here pron is illegal.

My wife rides BART every day out here in the Bay Area. She constantly deals with this issue so I bought her a set of Air Pod Pro noise cancelling earbuds. Even if she doesn't want to listen to music/podcasts, she can eat least tune out all the other nimrods. And I say you should have sat next to him and put on some pron.

Not my restaurant, nor my place to say anything to him.. If it got to the point something needed to be done, I'd alert the manager/owner.

Hope she doesn't wear them when she drives or riding a bike...

Never while driving and the only bike we have is a Peloton so we are safe there too.

You're one of those azzholes that has a special luxury room with a gorgeous view to house their exercise bike?

Luxury rooms with gorgeous views, yes. Rather than waste space with an exercise bike (aren't we already all in great shape?) I use it as my harem room.  That's where all your moms and wives wait until it's their turn to service me.

I'd probably do the same.  What if you go up to the guy and ask him to turn it down and he tells you to f*ck off? Are you supposed to fight him now?  Chances are, he's a few bricks short of a load already if he's too dumb to realize he's annoying people with his music. Either grin and bare it or say something to a manager.

People are so afraid of confrontation these days.  Chances are actually that he's a normalish person who would turn it down if asked politely.

Like I said, the fact that he's blasting his music from his phone in a public place already disqualifies him from being totally normal.

agree. if you walk into a bar/restaurant and blast music...you either want to start problem or are disabled in some way. i'd assume he's some type of idiot first and ignore until it became bigger issue.

A few years ago I took my nephews to the museum of natural history in NYC (they’re nerds). When we got there the place was packed with all sorts of Chinese. After a little while I told them to go do what they want, because I didn’t want them to see me telling the Chinese to back the fock away all day (which I did).  They have zero concept of personal space.

So yesterday I'm on a plane from Sri Lanka to Kuala Lumpur. We are in row 17, nowhere near the front.

So when we are disembarking, there's some chinese ass hole who keeps trying to squeeze and push past people. WHILE dragging a focking rolling bag.

He makes it past a few people, because Asians are small. I'm getting my wife's carry on bag from the overhead compartment. He tries to wiggle past my 6'4 250lb ass in the airplane aisle. The first time, I just deliberately bumped him, and said excuse me.

Then he tried it again, and I hip checked him where he bounced of a seat across the aisle. I looked at him and said "where do you think you're going buddy?" 

A few people snickered. My wife was embarrassed. Just a day in the life.

You should've body slammed him, flex over his prone body, and then sneeze coronavirus in his face.

The other guy probably had coronavirus and was trying to get off the plane before letting out the huge sneezing/coughing fit he'd been holding in.  Now TBBOM is a dead man walking.  Grats bro.

Nice. I now sit in the back because of that crap. I just accept that I have to wait a few minutes. The other option is being led away in handcuffs.

That's awesome, I would have been laughing my ass off - out loud. :lol:

Bart’s not the only guy she rides either
