Metro Area Hit By Seasonal Noise Pollution

Miscellaneous Musing by Judy @ 6:50 pm PDT
tags:

The weather is finally warming and drying up. And with the nicer weather, THEY appear. You know who you are… You’re the one with your car stereo cranked up to 11 and your windows open.

I have just one thing to say to you:

I DON’T WANT TO LISTEN TO IT! Turn it down, turn it off, or close your @#$%@ windows.

Today I was stuck in traffic, and for 40 minutes I was forced to listen to (and feel) sounds that I do not consider music blasting from the car next to me. My windows were rolled up. It didn’t matter. The car in the next lane still drowned out my own radio.

I’m well aware that not everyone’s taste in music is the same. I’m good with that. Listen to whatever you want to listen to. Just don’t force me to listen to it also. Be polite. Turn it down.

Thank you.
