A skunk and a Redneck

After morning chores I head up to the lake, nada, skunked. Trying to decide how long to stick around I hear this music coming from the north shore. Knowing the lake it‘s coming from a put in used by shore fishers, bait kind. Everyone has a right to fish there. But park your truck across the ramp, open your doors and blast what you think is music is self absorbed stupidity. Well, Bubba was cranking it up. After I took out I drove up to see the jerk, and his female companion. He says” hey”. I hey back and add “ just wanted to see who ruined my peaceful morning “. He proudly says “ that’s me”. Didn’t blink an eye. I drove off wondering who raised this asshole…
 
......A Montana transplant. 😊
 
Not quite as bad as that... a guy paying me today was blasting his shit music on max volume on his cell phone, set the phone on the counter, while I'm repeating myself cause he can't hear me and I can't hear him... 🤷‍♂️
 
There's something with stupid/trashy people and feeling the need to blast their terrible music for everyone to hear. It happens everywhere. I have the joy of living by such a person. He's a guy who would never have his own house and nice things, but he inherited his mom's house behind us, and used his inheritance money to buy himself a motorcycle with a sound system, and a big sound system for his garage. So he gets on his loud motorcycle and cranks up his loud music just to cruise the neighborhood and be noticed. Then goes back home and opens the garage door for more shitty music time.

So yeah.. Same type of person.

Get a monster sound system, then play finger nails on chalkboard at full massive volume...or Number Nine from the Beatles.

If you’re going to do the sound system arms race thing, I’ve found it’s better to play something you at least enjoy somewhat, but which can drown out and possibly annoy the offender, because after all, you have to listen to whatever you’re playing too.
 
Sorry you're day went wrong. I think renters moved into a place 2 houses away last spring. Lots of loud music at all hours, just noisy and busy. Two or so weeks ago someone was shot and killed at a Saturday night party. The next week a shooting at the 7-11. Cops came by each time to check the ring to see if we caught something, nope. Karma tends to catch up to people. Most won't change behaviors though. House is empty, quiet and back to normal WW now.
 
Is this a good place to rant? OK then.

I was up at a high lake yesterday; not too hard to get to, around 2 hours from the road. I wasn't expecting solitude.... This family arrives, maybe two families, AND ARE TALKING AT FULL VOLUME THE WHOLE TIME THEY ARE THERE. I can clearly hear their conversation from all the way across the lake. WTF?
 
Honest input, give a casual compliment for the guy looking for it like, “truck looks good” or “you found a keeper” and then follow up with “mind turning it down a couple clicks” bonus points if you add some self deprecation like “so my old ass can hear my pace maker”. And yes I’ve used that line at 30 for 16 yr olds.

9/10 times that works for that kind of guy. If that goes south proceed with whatever method you deem fit.

The win from boosting little man’s confidence and taking control of the matter will be a pleasant high for the rest of the float.
 
I encounter jack-asses on the trail all the time. Seems they can't enjoy the outdoors without their music.
I always stop and ask them if they need headphones.
And I have a pair available.....cheap airline plug in types.
But it usually gets them to tone it down.
 
I don't mind if you crank it rolling into the boat launch. Gotta establish dominance right out of the gate. Announce your presence and set the tone.

Some thing classy, like Wu Tang.

Let everyone know you're there to fuck shit up. Talking big streamers, shitty beer and solid bro vibes all around.
 
wife and I were the only folks in a campground overlooking a river...perfect end of summer weather, fishing was good on dries, could not have been more idyllic few days.
Just before dark a big diesel 4x4 truck come into camp towing a trailer, and with a coupla dozen empty campsites spread out along the banks, backs into a campsite just two over from us.
Out come two dogs, running through our campground, tearing off into the bushes, barking their heads off.
The trailer gets dropped, leveled, a large portable generator is pulled from the back of the pickup, hooked up to the trailer and started, noiser than hell.
Wife and I collapse tent, break camp, move to the furthest site from them. Generator runs all night long. Next morning we packed up and left.
Assholes usually win in the end, because they tend to be unaware of anything other than the sound of the unbalanced gears spinning wildly between their ears...

'Way to channel Swimmy. Except he's a Red Bull guy.

(Don't get me wrong, I like the guy. 'Even got to fish with him once!)

By 10:15, I would have politely asked them to cut the motor. At 11:00, I would walk over and shut it off.
