What's wrong with people?

Yesterday I had this happen to me. It happens frequently round here, but yesterday it was surreal.

I'm at the gas station, and there's this $600.00 car with a $12,000.00 sound system in it, blasting out polka music, but the lyrics were in Spanish. I mean, it didn't even come close to rocking. Not at all. It was the stuff that somebodies old Polish grandmother would listen too.

I'm not a big fan of other people blaring their loudass music at gas stations, car washes, or in the parking lot of the dollar general, but Spanish Polka music?? C'mon! How bout a little easy listening music at 400db??

Spanish Polka music.
:D
 
I really believe that this stuff just boils down to plain old disrespect for other people. There is now just a population of pussys running around too afraid to stand up for Their rights to do anything about asshats like this guy.

If someone would have taught him manners and respect for others when he was little, this crap wouldn't happen. Or if someone was man enough to walk up to him and say " turn that down or I'm gonna put the boots to ya" I bet he would get that message and that would be the end of that.

Kids backtalk their parents, teachers, school bus drivers, etc. and get away with it, that's where the disrespect was learned. Smarting off to my parents would have got me the belt, sassing a teacher would have got me a wack in the principals office. Point is - there used to be consequences for bad behavior - not anymore.
Amen. I used to get the belt or paddle if I screwed up. Funny how I don't hate my parents now and I'm not mentally insane or depressed. And even more funny how I am a law abiding citizen, who has some respect for other people and their lives. I own my own house, car and go to work everyday. All this from getting a rap on the behind when I got outta line.
 
I can't wait to have my own car so I can blast any idiots playing rap loudly in cars with some Level 42.


Reminds me of when I was in halls being blasted by dance music from a neighbour. I borrwed a 1000w amp, cranked up the bass and blasted them with Mr Pink on repeat for 3 hours on repeat.


Fun:D
