I swear, it really is becoming like the movie Idiocracy. I wanna kick hipster/kids in the teeth when I hear them shorten everything to one syllable.
What is this? Is it the hip thing now? Is it laziness? Because it just sounds completely stupid.
I'm seeing it more on the forums now too: Brill = brilliant? Rec = recommendation? recreation? reconnaissance? ???

Indubitably, this onerous behavior certainly is obnoxious and will unequivocally lead to confusion.

I'm technically from the south where people appreciate conversation enough to actually say things slower. So while I'm not particularly offended by this turn of events, I just don't understand it. Turn off all your gadgets, appreciate the day and sit down on the back porch and have a damn conversation why don't you.

DAMNIT! I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT!
missed it by.... an hour.
nevermind.
kids are stupid...can't leave crap alone. always changing stuff around to make themselves cooler. I USED TO BE COOL... THEN THEY CHANGED WHAT WAS COOL! then i wasn't cool anymore.
-
People are always looking for new and clever ways to say things. I suppose we could go back to grunting and flinging feces.
:dunno
I was getting all butthurt on humanity's behalf as I was riding a daily shuttle and watching people sit there passively glued to their smart phones and not paying attention to a thing around them. What happened to good old conversation I grumble as I go back to my smart phone.
Then I looked at old photos of people on buses and trains. Every damn one of them was glued to a newspaper.
We've been avoiding contact with strangers as much as possible throughout modern history, apparently. Still, kids could put the damn things down a little more.
:soapbox:

You know what annoys me? People (usually young adults) who listen to Pandora or other music services on their Smartphone while shopping or in some other public place on the phone's speaker. It's usually some ---smurfy--- hip-hop that no one else wants to hear. Put some ---smurfing--- earbuds on.
-
I totally get the avoiding strangers part. As a rule I hate most people, and people I don't know... well that could never end well. It's the keeping yourself buried in your phone while amongst your so-called friends that I don't get. They are right in front of you.... look up!
I don't get people with loud stereos in their car myself. Thank you, we all have stereos in our car, you don't need to get one so loud that every car within 3 miles can hear it... we've got our own and your taste in music is terrible... have fun with the hearing loss!

I really hate that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. The fuckhead that lived across the street has a bass factory in his trunk. I'm not against the damn thing, just don't blast it in your own neighborhood. It shakes windows and wakes my kid. ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, he sometimes has it going while the damn car is just warming up. I often entertain violent thoughts.
If you live inside city limits call in a noise complaint. Most municipalities have restrictions on that crap for a certain distance and at certain times of day. Call enough and the authorities might actually do something about it.
If you live in the sticks I'd recommend salting his drive with nails.
-
That only works if you can annoy them enough to make them move unfortunately. You've usually got to live with the piles of inhuman garbage. And yes, if you are knowingly disturbing the people around you for no other reason than to amuse yourself, you are inhuman garbage.
I've dealt with these types before. Made them move. Again... don't mess with me. ;)

Well, we can't all be asspie kings. Seriously, hating everyone? Meh, life's too short. And this is from someone that has to walk half a mile (each way) to take a dump without witnesses and still had a throat clearing cruiser spend 2 minutes outside the stall last week.
I haven't done subs since my early 20s, but I thump the hell out of the worst music you can imagine.
:cheers:
-
Apparently you don't understand humor when you see it. I was joking about hating everyone.
Then again, judging by your "sense of humor" from some of your posts it's understandable you wouldn't get it. ;)
I wasn't kidding about the intentionally disturbing others bit though. It makes you the worst kind of scum when you are pissing people off and you know you are doing it.
-

Does that apply to this forum? If so this is like the Mos Eisley of teh interwebz and X2 is that dude wanted in 12 systems.
-
I'm not sure how you can disturb someone on the internet, but yeah, it holds true. Then again, that intentional bit is important. A lot of times people don't mean to do it.... at least around here anyway.
-

Give me a couple of minutes to think of something up. :laugh2:

If you are still of this mind set I suggest you visit Mameworld. :lol

I totally agree Louis. I get crap from my wife for turning down my radio when we hit my road but I don't want to be 'that neighbor.'
-
You know, I always turn it down when I get close to my home, but that's mainly because I don't want my neighbors smashing my car window because they think something valuable is in there.

don't bump around your home...you become a heat score. Anonymous... downtown, on the highway...crank it till it bleeds. Far as my neighbors know, I have nothing. you look in my windows...not even change in the cupholder.

Music sounds better at a level that you can listen comfortably. I love bass in my tunes but I don't see the point in damaging my car with all the excessive vibration the speakers create. I guess it all boils down to the area you live in. I live in the more expensive part of town, where there is a cop car and a bank on every corner. Everyone pretty much behaves themselves, except maybe the biker down the street with his loud chopper. :)
-
What cracks me up as much as it is annoying are the "cool failures" who bump the music so loud on their crappy car that all you can hear is the trim rattling. LOL every time.
Yet they persist in cruising (Buzzzzz) with the windows down(Buzzzz) looking all smug(buzzzz).
-
I think it's funnier when they're blasting something entirely unexpected. Like a middle aged guy with freeform jazz or women with something entirely obnoxious from the 80s (Take My Breath Away seems to inspire lunacy).
Probably the most random one I've witnessed was the guy blaring Jailhouse Rock. I mean, don't get me wrong, Elvis was the king and TCB in a flash but... that's a weird one to vibrate the car with in 2013.
-
Back in the 90s I did some aquarium work for a guy that was really into car audio - but like sustained tone competitions. Had a van with all the speakers aimed at a focal point where they'd put the decible meter or some nonsense. Never ever understood the appeal of that money pit.

Back in the day, I would drive up and down the bar area blasting this little ditty from CCR. It was absolutely hilarious because the drunks would all start singing along, lyrics were never right. Cruise back the way I came with my music off. It would be nothing but drunks yelling "DOOT DOOT DOOT!"
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Lookin' Out My Back Door (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aae_RHRptRg#)
-
Hey now, that's practically the National Anthem around here.
Don't be hatin' on the CCR.
-
For the record, I love CCR. I just love it more when drunks attempt to sing that song.
-
Ok I can continue to not hate you now. ;)
Lookin' out my back door as we speak. Stupid snow. :badmood:
-

I was thinking the same thing.

I liked CCR until the 10,000th time I heard rolling on a river.

A few months ago I saw a karaoke version of this with the guy singing "Sucking on a jailhouse c***". His lyrics were so funny I laughed harder than I have in years.
Around here the thing to do apparently is get an ATV, put it in your driveway, and rev the engine for hours while pretending to tune it up. Then put it back in the garage. Don't actually ride it anywhere.

That's just because the MA fun police have made it illegal to ride pretty much anywhere in the state.
-
My ATV strategy was to find an area I knew better than any law enforcement. ;D

Seems reasonable enough to me for a rider to need permission to ride on private property. If you can't walk on private property why would you be allowed to ride?
The problem with being faster than law enforcement here is that they know where you parked the truck. There are only so many parking lots to the forested areas and you can't ride on the street from someplace else.
-

Yeah wouldnt wanna break the law while breaking the law ::)

Differing consequences. One is a fine. The other is an impounded vehicle.

Or neither if you get away.
-
And if you don't get away you're looking at about 5 other charges that are all more serious. All to avoid driving to NH where they allow ATV riding just about anywhere.

New Hampshire!??!

You are far too retarded to talk to. I forgot that on your resume you are a paralegal or an attorney (or likely both).

Mind you it IS annoying, but it sometimes serves a purpose. If you haven't driven it in a while or it's badly tuned, has bad gas, ect ect, then rev-ing the engine will sometimes blow the gunk out of the carb. Then again, unless it's a POS it should have a muffle on it and not annoying people that much. Of course the white trash idiots like to put mufflers on that make their stuff louder... so there's that.
And on the whole legality argument... it's technically illegal to ride them in most places in WV without a barrage of safety flags, in some counties a "farmers license" and other stuff. I guess that's why I counted about 30 pass by the house today (typical number) ;)
Remember Chad, some laws aren't enforceable.

I used to ride an ATV around a green belt under a bunch of power lines. Only cop I saw out there was the off duty one that parked his car across a public road that just happened to lead to a cult.

Here the utility rights of way are heavily marked No Trespassing and are watched. They're under Homeland Security protection. Anything with that designation has been pretty strictly off limits since the Boston Marathon bombing.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Malenko thinks it's a reasonable idea to ride an illegal vehicle on public roads and then run from the Police when they notice. Where exactly are you going to run on a forested plot of about 175 acres? This isn't Oklahoma. The only really large areas of open space are water.
Howard, they are enforced here, which is why these guys are in their driveways and not a public park. We don't have open areas large enough to run in.

Bait taken! See that's just it, you are applying the situation to only where you live. I was talking about Texas, where pbj is. I was also saying that if youre gonna break the law go all the way, in jest. They have ATV trails in some state parks in Delaware, you just have to have a valid drivers license or if you are under age be with a parent or guardian. I dont ride an ATV, and I dont have a dog in this fight. Im surprised you have time to ride an ATV with all your other occupations.
