My newest pet peeve... anyone experience this?

[dspring]

This weekend I had this happen 3 times... and I have never seen it before...

people on a bar patio... playing their mp3's on their speakerphone at their table... WTF????

first time I was sitting with some friends and I noticed this treble-ly as fuck version of Brian Adams playing... I was looking around and finally 3 songs in I noticed the table next to us, 2 girls were playing it on their cell phone as their personal radio... the second time some douchebags were comparing their mp3s on a patio... playing like 15 second snippets of Avril Lavigne type shit... then Nickelback... all three times I asked if they could turn it down because it sounds like shit to everyone else sitting on the patio... all three times they acted like I shot their cat... 1 actually got pretty close to a throwdown in one case...

You may think you have great taste in music... but you don't asshole...

It's a "personal" music player people... listen to it with headphones... the patios already had music playing on their speakers so now I am listening to two things at once... both crap...

Has anyone had this happen to them yet? Is it the next "thing"? Do you do this? if you do you are a jerk...

I had never had this happen before this weekend... then 3 times...

It happens to me on public transport all the time. Nothing makes a bus ride better than trebbly crap.

I have had a similar thing happen to me at work. My company uses a temp. service for small stuff and they had this guy who used to play his music through his cell phone during lunch. He used to play it pretty loud. One time he left his phone on the table playing while he went to the bathroom. It was hard not to throw the damn thing in the trash, but no one did. This happened for a few more days until a guy I work with politely asked him to turn it off. His fellow temps sitting with him were whining quietly about it, but it did stop.

I'm pretty polite, but I think that may actually push me over edge. Maybe I read into things too much but I always take shit like that as "I'm more important than you". Drives me up a wall. It's the equivalent to asshole drivers cutting you off and almost killing you.

Simple solution: grab it and throw it as hard as you can against the wall. Not only will you not have to hear it, the owner may actually learn a lesson.

they must be like little eensy-beensy boom boxes, right?

i liked boom boxes. i particularly liked the way it annoyed the crap out of people.

so, i guess i'll like this "new phenom" as well.

mini boomcars must be next.

Second pet peeve: morons that put their phone on speaker phone and talk into it like a Walkie Talkie.

[dspring]

well... I am pretty vocal about stuff like that... so I told them "can you turn that off... it's rude and it sounds like shit" they got all sour pussed but turned them off... the only front came when the girls boyfriend's showed up and they put on a bit of a show but were easily shutdown

What is equaly annoying is the fact both of my parents not only have iPods but are now getting iphones. I can't for the life of me imagine why either of them could need an iPhone.
