Default Definition of a LOSER

The guy sitting in the Wal-Mart parking lot with his windows down blasting away to rap music with all kinds of F-bombs in it. It just make me want to go up to them and tell them "your so cool, I wish I was as cool as you"


True story: I was at a stop & rob the other day when a dude in a truck pulles up jamming to F-bomb music. Well, he has a 5-6 year old kid in the truck just singing along. Dude goes in to buy beer. Gets back in the truck and pops one open and proceeds to drive off.

Sorry, just a little vent. I can't stand people like that that have absolutly no respect for others. I don't care about the music, hell, I listen to it, but not around my kids or blasting it for everyone to hear at Wal-Mart.

i agree. i love pushing my subs, but most of the time i turn it down at redlights, parking lots etc. i especially turn it down in neighborhoods(unless theres a really good song on, but then my windows are up). nobody wants to hear your crap

besides, why advertise that you have something worth stealing?

I hear you Greg... What even worse is some of these people are older guys in their late 20's and 30's. I can see a High School kid doing that... I am guilty of that...

I don't know which one is worse....that or this guy with a HUGE rebel flag sticker on the back glass of his Titan that rides by my house about every afternoon playing welcome to the jungle and fishtailing around in the gravel. I know G&R is cool and all, but damn.....they do have other songs!!!! This guy is a class A winner, though.

Had a guy in my neighborhood that would alway drive through the neighborhood with his music loud and windows down. It didn't really bother me that much until it started waking my little girl up at night. So, one weekend after coming back from a late night at the drag races, We unloaded my buddies ford f100 that run high 8's in the 1/4 and went trans brake it in front of that dudes house at 2 am in the morning. I guess he got the picture because the loud music in the neighborhood stopped.

I've actually seen people get into fights in drive-thru, red lights, and parking lots because of loud music.

I used to install back in high school. It seemed almost everyone whos car got brok into were the same ones that refused to turn the radio down in neighborhoods, parking lots etc. Coincidence?? I think not.

The other day when I was down int he campus part of town I stopped at a red light. This guy (I won't say his color because it has nothing to do with it) in a stock looking black c/k tahoe pulls up next to me. He proceeds to roll down his "limo" tinted windows and cranks his "F-bomb" and "N-word" song WAY up. Then looks over at me and gives me this "what the hell are you looking at a$$hole" look.


The funny thing is I beat him off the line and to the next light (where he turned off) in my stock Saturn. lol And yes I did hear him trying. But yeah I hate how rude some people can be sometimes.

IMO people who play music that loud don't do it for their own enjoyment, they do it to send a message to others about how big of an a**hole they are. Don't get me wrong, I love loud music (been a bass player for almost 20 years), but I'm also considerate of my fellow humans.

thats why Ive got an exhaust cutout, I hate people at stop lights blaring music with thier trunk lid rattling it self off the hinges, sounds like ****. Im really considering putting a 3" pipe that will be angled and cut directly at the driver window of the car next to me.

Ok if I have to hear your music your gonna hear my exhaust.
