How loud's too loud?

By the time it gets down to other people's music I hardly notice. I just find it funny that most people are so annoyed by something that affects maybe 10 seconds a week of their life, when so much more time is spent dealing with louder more annoying noise, most of which isn't necessary, just convenient.

How much I hope more people will think as you! Great minds think alike. Sometimes the frustration is caused by ourselves, our attitude, we can actually escape us from this self troubling. However, not so many people are so tolerant, so we have to promise, obey the rules, that's always the case!

Like I said, I've seen the listen-to-my-window-rattling-radio reaction before when I rev the harley to drown out their music, and they're never happy about it

So again ... I'm not surprised, but a bit delighted to see that the street don't go both ways there.
