Why would someone pull up to a gas station while blasting his rap music...park his car in front of the door but leave it running with the music blaring...go into the store and leave his stupid music blasting for all of us who are pumping gas to "enjoy" while he is inside? What the hell gives people the gall to do stuff like this? Then, when he leaves, he turns it up LOUDER as he drives off.

I think I will buy an air horn and blare it into these peoples faces when they act like social morons :spit:

I've got to agree....that is annoying beyond description.

Makes me wish I could blast Weather Report at 150dB sometimes! ;)

I've been dreaming up a way to deal with this for years, it involves a large capacitor, some way to contact some wires to the car, and discharge a large voltage into it at a distance, thus shorting out the entire electrical system. :smug:

Yo, homie, how's the music NOW? :spit:

:rollno:

Some people can't think of anything but what makes them happy, others - like the social morons that leave their (c)rap blaring at everyone at the gas station or stoplight - not only can't think of anyone else's personal happiness, they actually make it a point to inflict their annoying choices on everyone in earshot to keep the rest from having a pleasant day.

Jerks.

it's not the type of music, just the attitude. Like, "yeah, listen how loud my S*** is... Aren't you impressed?"

Um...no, I'm not. Anybody can go to a car stereo place and drop a grand on some stuff. There is no skill or talent in that. Shoot, I have 10" JL sub in my trunk...but it's just to fill in some low bass...not to rattle OTHER peoples windows.

Seriously, by law...could I get in trouble if I blasted an airhorn at people with loud systems? Besides, A-holes wanting to kick my ass...i can deal with that. Is it illegel?

The thing about these guys that always gets a chuckle outta me is the fact that they're going down the street, irritating everyone in earshot with the insane volume (not to mention the effects on themselves INSIDE the vehicle), and with every bass note, the entire care rattles.

:D

Hey, stupid, if you spent about 25% of the money on your stereo that you did, you'd still have a damn nice sounding rig in your car, and you'd have enough left over to fix the rattles!

;)

While I do get pissed off at their blatant disrespect in situation like this, what absolutely makes my blood boil is when they leave the car running, STUPIDLY overpowered and insanely LOUD stereo blasting, and leave small children in the back seat. Do you give a $#!+ at all about these kids?

[old guy rant]Folks are just inconsiderate in general these days. How many times have you seen ppl stop their car and block traffic so they can talk to their friend who is on the side of the road? What about the person driving slow on the fast lane who fails to see everyone passing him/her via the slow lane? And let's not forget the person who stops their conversation with you so they can answer their cell phone. This is the It's All About Me generation.[/old guy rant]

What's really great is when the same type of asshat rolls down my culdisac at 3 A.M. , stops in front of my house, sits there just long enough to piss me off to the point of throwing on shorts and picking up a bat..............and then he drives off just as I get to the door knob.


Every time I hear some slim shady wanna be blasting rap music insanely loud in a car next to mine I wish I could press a button and have huge speakers unfold from a hidden hatchs on both sides of my car, aim at him, and blast war ensamble.

Something like that happened at my work just 2 weeks ago. A stripper pulled up in a late 80's car with rims and a ugly blue & yellow paint job with a stereo booming so loud it was shaking the entire building, got out of the car and came in the store to "buy some shoes", then complained about the prices in my store, then said "Oh S***!" and ran back outside. She came back in rolling a stroller with a roughly 18 month old girl in it. As the father of a 2 year old, I don't see how anyone could be playing music that loud around their child, let alone forget that their child was with still in the car for almost 10 minutes.

HaHa, Someone did that in a Fjord Exploder when I was working at a Gas Station in Va Beach. System blaring, engine on. No sooner did he make it through the front door did I see the Exploder hauling balls out of the parking lot and down General Booth Blvd.

Yeah, some out of towner crack head had stolen his rig. Luckily for the owner the crack head didn't know his way around the area and wound up doing circles in suburbia. There is a moral to this story.

Some ***hat did the same thing while pumping his gas at 12 at night. I prepay so I don't even have to go inside, while he was inside buying a 40 of all things:smug: I shut his car off and parked across the road to see his reaction when he came back out.:ninja:

By his reaction I'm glad I parked across the road he walked around his car huffing and panting like a madman " Yo, Homie dont **** with this" and so on. I got a few more laughs out of it over the next couple minutes, than I just went home.

Some people are just oblivious to the fact that they're complete morons.

Was the gas pumping while the engine was on and he was in the store? That's even dumber IMO.

I can't stand people who leave their engines running and go into a store for a couple of minutes. Good way to get your car stolen. I'll leave my car running if I'm dropping something off in a mailbox that's 5 feet away but if it's going to take me more than 30 seconds to get back to the car I turn the engine off.

The part about the guy pulling up to the convenience store door bugs me anyway. You're not supposed to park there 9 times out of 10. That and people who park in handicapped spots just for a 'second'...I could go on :)

Just get his attention, show between pointing finger and thumb like 2 cm and hold your hand down by the crotch, if he attacks you, sue him and deny you did anything to provoke him...
