So...what do you think

[Cantw8]

I went to the bank today. I was in the parking lot, which was not crowded... must have been a thousand parking spots, I was parked and balancing the checkbook. I had my Pure Funk cd in the player and I was jamming to Play That Funky Music White Boy because I'm cool like that My window was down and the music was somewhat loud, but not obnoxious. So.. this guy in a truck pulls up right next to me, our driver side doors are next to each other. I glance up and then continue with my bookeeping. All of a sudden I hear......"Excuse me....excuse me. Could you turn your music down?".....I glance at him and see that his window is down as well and he is on the phone. I have several thoughts go through my head including telling him to go....nevermind Anyway, I chose to ignore him. He says again..."Hello, I know you hear me. Would you turn your music down, I'm on the phone." ......once again, I ignore him. He pulls out, laying rubber on the road and calls me a colorful adjective (which I can't quite deny ) so....did I do the right thing or should I have turned down the radio???

 

[ZipaDeeDooDah]

I think you should have turned it up!

 

[Bbgrizzle]

Why couldn't he have put his window up? Was his window broken? You should have mooned him, W8. You're good at that.

OMG...what a complete idiot...you were smart to say NOTHING...too many wackos today...best to just keep to yourself...and if you want your music loud...so be it...HE CAN LEAVE!!!

 

[tevagirl]

He obviously does not know you could have taken him down with just one picture from your photobucket.

 

[MushyMushy]

I can't believe someone would actually do that!

It was probably smart of you not to say anything back, but I sure would have been tempted.

 

[Cantw8]

You know, I so wanted to hit him with a bloody eyeball pic but reality set in..and what was I to do?

 

[lazydazy8]

LOLOLOL

You most certainly were NOT in the wrong! It amazes me how people actually thing that the world revolves around THEM!

 

[MareQ]

I agree with everybody else. It's not like he was on a payphone next to your car - he pulled in there after you - he had his windows down and was perfectly capable of putting them up or moving his car somewhere else.

 

[spazzyjazzy]

I think you did good. You were there first and he could have just rolled up his window.

 

[CEDmom]

What a tool . I probably would have turned it up or started jabbering in some made up language but then again my maturity IQ is often in the single digits .

 

[Cantw8]

yes I did the right thing whoda thunk?????

 

[lulugirl]

I would have told him to "bite me".

 

[Loubon]

I'd be careful. For all you know he may post on these boards. And then the next thing you know he'll be posting a poll asking if he was right to tell you to turn it down.

 

[Feralpeg]

Unlike most here, I would have turned it down. I like listening to loud music and I know you were there first, but I am just the type of person to try to set the example for how people are supposed to act. Not giving you a hard time, that is just the way I would have handled the situation.

I KNOW I KNOW....you should have YELLED OVER..."I CAN NOT HEAR YOU"...and then just kept saying that IF it appeared he was continuing to ask you to turn it down..

I CAN NOT HEAR YOU!!!!!

 

[va32h]

It amazes me how many people act as if they have a God-given right to talk on the phone anywhere, under any circumstances.

dang, you're right What was I thinking????? We haven't had a "are you a jackarse poll?" in awhile

Why the rolleyes? I think Feralpeg is absolutely right. Yes, the other guy was obnoxious for asking the OP to turn the music down, but really, would it have been that big of a dleal for her just to turn it down a little while she was finishing?

It's just common courtesy, folks. Sometimes it's nice to be the bigger person, even if you are "right" in being indignant at a request.

You can roll your eyes at me now too if you'd like.
