I get it. It's a free country. But do we need to be completely devoid of manners, courtesies, considerations for others?

Trying to enjoy kayaking on the lake. I guess some people just need to hear their rappy hop music all the time. At sounds levels that can be heard 1000 feet away (at least).

1. Nobody needs to have the music that loud, especially when the boat is sitting idle.
2. Nobody but these idiots want to hear that particular type of 'music' especially with kids around.
3. Nobody thinks these guys are 'cool' and are in any way part of an 'in-crowd'

And these idiots weren't 'amish'. These idiots weren't young. They were Caucasian 'adults' in their 40's+.

About 20 boats on the lake. 3-4 of the boats with these types of nimrods. Geez, grow up.

One man's rights end at the next man's nose. Or ears.

They enjoy giving tickets around here for that behavior. It is a hundred dollar fine.

I saw something a bit different yesterday. Imagine a roller suitcase, but with a speaker instead - probably slightly taller than would be OK for carry-on in an airplane. Saw a guy walking across an intersection with one - I could hear his "music" at least 50 feet away.

I'm with you. When out and about on my two favorite lakes fishing, I constantly deal with imbecile boaters with horrible music, worse manners and little to no regards to many boating regulations. It gets old. Seldom do I see the rangers patrolling who could help fix some of this crap.

Rappy hop isn't music.

Our Sam's club in Davenport has a shopper with a ispeaker on her shopping cart that plays "her " music from her cell phone .

Forty feet away ,you can hear it clear as a bell.
And
She sings along with it.

I am guessing some sort of mental disorder.

It's pretty annoying.

Many people are. Try enjoying some peaceful time at the beach.

Wednesday we went down to the big city to see an eye surgeon about my cataracts. Large waiting room that slowly got crowded. Lady next to me starts playing some crappy country music on her iPhone. Lady across from me starts playing crappy Mexican music. I get called on and when I get back the wife says it got worse as others started up. What happens to ear pods? Why do people think I like their taste in music? It seems to be getting worse all over and in different situations.

It’s just common courtesy to your fellow man that is history in society today. I have a ski, and I’ll bump my tracks loud when I’m riding but the speakers are Bluetooth type deals and at full speed I can’t even hear them. Now if I am parked, and floating in the water I’ll leave the phone on the back step deck. If a boater approaches or really anyone, I’ll turn it way down. It’s just a courtesy thing. Just like if I see some guys fishing, I steer way clear as to know give them the waves from my ski ripping through there. If need be I chop the throttle and go into wake mode.

The reality is most people in society do not have a fuck about anyone but themselves.

I had a Harley trike years ago with a bitchin' sound system and great speakers. The day I bought it I bought a helmet with a built in headset with great speakers. I don't think I ever used the sound system without the helmet.

Get your own really loud bluetooth speaker. Teach them a lesson.

May I humbly recommend ...

Come on Infidel, that’s not nearly offensive enough. At least start with Zombie or Pantera.
