Soooo, here's the test. When you turn the radio up, are you alone on a long and winding country road or are you forcing your music on the nonconsensual ears of others? Not that nature isn't full of nonconsensual ears but they won't complain about it or whine about it to other nature creatures or Instagram it like humans do.

Another way to look at it is if someone were next to you and blasting a genre of music that you don't care for, be it opera or death metal or elevator music or whatever, how would that make you feel? Or are you one of those people that would have music wars at a stop light? One goes higher, then the other and so on and so forth.

I have songs like that too but I turn it down at stop signs and lights, if someone else is near me with their windows down, etc. Maybe I'm too nice. *shrug* I do try to be considerate unless I'm out of my mind angry and then screw everyone with a pineapple. Twice.

I am definitely a country back road type butch. I live in a small town so traffic isn't really an issue. We have 4 traffic lights and 1 could really be a stop sign.

Of course, I try to be courtesy for the most part but I can't say I have never offended someone with my loud music of choice.

As far as other people's music, regardless of the type, I am not usually offended. Red lights don't last forever.

Put me on a back road and give me a good song and all bets are off.

I actually thought of this discussion yesterday as I drove down the road, window partially down and radio on a moderate level. lol

Back roads demand one of two things: music turned up or turned off to enjoy the sounds of nature. Well done!

I'm personally less annoyed with those driving versus those parked or at a stop light, just hollering or boomin' or thumpin' away. I've, literally, heard a complete conversation with the driver and their sister-in-law at a long light once. Through the vehicle and rolled up windows. I am Team Sis-in-Law, btw. She was just trying to help.

Baseball broadcasters/announcers who are fixated now on speculating what the "wild card" teams will be...............

It's around the time of year now that I watch a lot of baseball muted....

Christmas being shoved down my throat.

I have a co-worker (within earshot) who can’t stop talking about Christmas, if she isn’t talking about it, she is humming Christmas songs. She does make sure we can all hear.

I love her enthusiasm and perky personality but I am struggling with myself as I kind of want to rip her throat out.
