Bluetooth speakers in crowded, public settings. (sigh)

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.

I remember one of the few times I went to the beach with my wife down on key Biscayne. We were there early set up a little canopy for shade and here comes some lady pops down by us when I tell you there’s space to be far enough away it was an understatement. Pulls out this big as speaker and precedes to blast away. Some guy goes over asks her to turn down some she replies free country Bullshit. Well one other feature of this beach people can bring pets. Needless to say there was a free roaming dog that felt the need to mark his territory. He marked her beach towel in her speaker box because well she planted them right next to a big pile of grass. Of course all the dogs smelled was another dogs territory in the grass. She, I am running out of the water yelling and screaming at the dog, which now entails the whole new experience because we got to watch the dogs yell at her for yelling at his dog that just pissed all of her stuff because she decided to camp up to the beach grass rather than in the middle of the sand, so she did pack her stuff up and leave everything smelled like piss that was instant karma

I'm at the airport for 30 minutes. 4 old ladies doing it, one airport cleaning employee and one douchebag talking to his wristwatch on speaker like Dick Tracy.

Every one of them asking the other party to repeat what they said multiple times.
Put the phone to your ear.
Better yet, get you some fucking Bluetooth hearing aids.

That example is exactly how the dB Slayer was created.
With 120* dispersion on the mid horn it can be pointed just barely towards offending dip shit and pierce their skull with some Pantera or what ever your fav is.

You can of have to be ready to fight though....

Here's a vid my son took the first time we ever played it.
100 yards away...

Yet another reason I don't fly.

The list is pretty long actually. lol
 
We had some guy with one hanging around his neck coming into the narrows trail in Zion as we were headed out. Really, that's the place you need your mariachi crap blaring. Go back to your fucking house and put a video on the TV.

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.

This happened at the drivers meeting during SLOWPOKE693 first golf cart cart race at MAO this year. Douche slow rolls by blasting music. JT had to stop talking and wait for him to go by, then said some to the effect of "thanks for that" over the PA system.

Start watching it with him and root for the opposite team he is..... Loudly. :laughing:
 
Chick does the speaker phone thing when we are home. If I'm watching tv I just grap my wireless headphones and tune her out. Still annoying, and rude, I've zero interest in her conversations with her friendsor family. She has gotten better about going elsewhere to have her conversations. :lmao:

I wish a portable EMP was a thing so you could go shut down the whole unit.

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:

I live next to three of them now. It seems they are able to afford my neighborhood now which sucks..


Last time they did it I just set off the alarm on my truck. They seemed to get the hint. I think I need to build the speaker above. There are lots of 10 hour clips of baby shark.

You buy a flipper zero
You install the rogue master firmware using chrome and the link.
You go to ble spam and you push the button.
Now everyone has a bad time.

Still way off. :flipoff2: Is that why they made D batteries though? Because I distinctly remember playing with my dad's old GI Joe tank from the 50s and it had D batteries. :smokin:

A D battery (D cell or IEC R20) is a standardized size of a dry cell. A D cell is cylindrical with an electrical contact at each end; the positive end has a nub or bump. D cells are typically used in high current drain applications, such as in large flashlights, radio receivers, and transmitters, and other devices that require an extended running time. A D cell may be either rechargeable or non-rechargeable. Its terminal voltage and capacity depend upon its cell chemistry.

The National Carbon Company introduced the first D cell in 1898. Before smaller cells became more common, D cells were widely known as flashlight batteries. The U.S. military designation for this battery has been BA-30 since sometime before World War II.[1] During World War II, it was designated the Type C battery by the U.S. Navy, leading to confusion with the smaller C cell battery (BA-42).

In 2007, D batteries accounted for 8% of alkaline primary battery sales (numerically) in the U.S. In 2008, Swiss purchases of D batteries amounted to 3.4% of primary and 1.4% of secondary (rechargeable) sales.[2][3]
