first off where can i get one of those? :smokin:


second, certain scenarios i feel its fine for people to play music, car show, crowded beach, wheeling on the trail

not that i enjoy hearing shitty music out of shitty speakers
 
... see if their device shows up in your bluetooth menu
... snatch the signal
... change to more appropriate tunage
... ?
... the wtf look on their face is mucho profito
My TV and phone talk to each other somehow.

I'll be outside listening to Dave Ramsey or something on the YouTube and somehow my TV stopped playing whatever the renter was watching and it's what was on my phone.

No idea how that does it. Neither are signed into accounts that I know of.
 
:mr-t: here pull up to gas pump, and proceed to leave door open with :mr-t: music blaring while pumping their gas.


This, drives me nuts, Nobody wants to hear your crappy music while getting fuel. Also, car shows, If there is an import section, they all have different music playing over each other.
 
Agreed with OP. On hiking trails, the bike path, on ski lifts, etc. People know no bounds. Keep your shitty music to yourself :shaking:
 
I do that but my ear speaker is screwed up so can't hear shit.
I also can't imagine you do it in a crowded airport shouting that you can't hear the other person in your phone,but I see that shit every time I fly.

I just want to yell at them that they could hear if they used the phone properly.

Edit: I'm more mad about that than shitty music.

I just start talking loud as fuck about the most vile shit I can around people like that.
 
Must not be a blue collar job.

We had a guy doing that. One of the old timers grabbed the phone and threw it across the room. :laughing:
Oh yeah. Blue collar. Company provided phone too.

Its a DIY Bill FitzMaurice Omni 12 TallBoy converted to run off a 400w DSP chip amp and a M18 battery.

What my group learned is if you go somewhere public, where music is likely to be played you better have a source of your own to be able to drown out the dip shits if need be.

This will do it....

Let's add talking on speaker phone while holding your phone 3 inches in front of your face like it's a serving platter.

Just put it in handset mode and use the phone like we all did for a hundred years.

Things like this are the entire reason I travel with Steve. Steve does not like rude people on phones.


Just had this happen today. I mock them. I give stupid answers to questions or continue the sentence or whatever, I'm not quiet about it and almost always get their attention. You can tell they have no clue and most of them will look at me like I'm stupid and walk away.
I've told several that I'm not interested in their conversations and I'll keep doing as long as I'm included in the conversation we're all having.
Its gotten heated a few times but nothing that was a problem for me because by then others are paying attention and they just look stupid

Now that the dust has settled on the conversation surrounding people littering in public places, the time is ripe to segue to the next social ill befalling modern American society: bluetooth speakers. In Public.

I don't get, for the life of me, how people give so few Fs about their fellow man, as to loudly play their music when surrounded by other people. The beach, the park, shared pools, I've even seen(heard) someone hiking with a G-D bluetooth speaker hanging from their belt. 9 times of out 10 it's always the obnoxious, modern "country" music which is absolute trash.

Is this just me? I don't get why this is so, so common.

Edit-- adding to this, are the great points of watching videos on speaker in similar circumstances. Like restaurants. Speaker phone conversations, facetime, etc-- All equally obnoxious.

You are the one with the power. 415F the shit out of them.

Back in the day my friend had a shitty Mercury Tracer we re arranged the emblem to say Merle Trac. We had a friend named Merle who was a living joke.

Anyways we pull up to a gas station with the shitty stock stereo with blown speakers turned up to 11 listening to something terrible. We opened all the doors acting like we loved the music. Some old man walked up right as we opened the trunk to get the full effect. The trunk was stacked with AKs SKSs and shotguns. We didn’t even think of that. The old man was about to bitch us out when he saw that his eyea got wide and he spun around on his heel and quickly walked away from us not saying a word. We looked at each other with an oh shit look and closed the trunk and got in and quickly left.

Head on down to Crossbar Ranch in southern OK. Near camp, there will typically be an apparent simultaneous decibel competition with 4 competing mariachi songs.
Why is it the beaners are all like that?

Not Mexicans...beaners.

Last time I went to TDS is was like that. They didn't like a straight pipe dodge at 5am the next morning so they kept quiet that night. :laughing:
 
Equally Harley/cruiser bikes that have sound systems louder than their pipes. :shaking: We have bluetooth speakers for helmets now. But that would require a full face...
I can't hear my helmet speakers over the bike with earplugs in. :flipoff2:

today I told my daughter to remove her ear bud things when she is talking to people, it seems rude to not remove them
I guess this fits the thread title in a way
shrug
doing what I can

Coworker sits in breakroom scrolling tic toc videos full blast on his phone while the Tv is on. People are just trying to have lunch in peace. We have mentioned it to him and he just gets more obnoxious. Douchbag! He is also the guy cutting everybody off leaving the employee parking garage.
Just reach over and hit the power button on his phone.


Or if you're petty, tell the boss/HR his music is offensive/hurts your hearing/racist etc tc etc.



Or let the air out of his tires with a knife.

My wife will do something similar...answer the phone while I'm watching TeeVee...she gets pissed when I turn the volume up so I can hear.

I've told her more than once she can move her phone but I can't/am not moving the TeeVee.

Farmington NM. Go wheeling out where the competition area is. You’ll be hanging out with your buddies and 4 SXS’s are invariably going to show up with their boat sound systems on full blast, speakers pointed out not in. Trying to play through like it’s a golf course. All 4 noise makers playing different music. Open area, they can go make noise anywhere but they gotta be where you are.
