Well you'd better just roll over and take it then.
I'm one if those people who plays loud music in the car and occasionally I have the window down. It might be hip hop but more likely it'll be something else.

I go around a roundabout at least twice a day on my way to work and back. The problem here in the People's Republic of Davis is not that other drivers fail to yield, but that they like to STOP when NO ONE IS COMING and it drives me BONKERS.

I have a few funny stories about that, but my favourite one is the time I was playing (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0kCRbSyjmo) Brujeria, which is pro-narcotics, pro-pot, anti-religion, anti-Christian, pro-Satan, pro-immigration (the illegal kind), pro-killing-Whitey, and completely awesome, and this truck full of Mexicans sitting in the back happened to pull alongside me. I was blasting the stuff really loud and when the Mexicans got a chance to hear what I was playing they started hollering and cheering and waving their rakes.
It was kind of awesome.

Sound advice. That's all we can do at this point. :thumb:

A new trend in Holland that really annoys me is people walking by themselves or in small groups who play their hip-hop/R&B music from phone speakers or small portable speakers...
I'm curious, do British/US douchebags do this too or is it strictly a Dutch phenomenon?.
Yes, I see this quite a bit in the UK, especially in parks. Fair enough when you're sitting around with your mates I suppose - the sound never travels far. I just don't get walking down the street playing music on your tinny iPhone speaker, though.
Never see any boomboxes these days, but you did remind me of (

Actually, that is precisely what I was alluding to.

Gripe: Banks, businesses that want you to use "paperless" statements etc. And then charge you 10 to 35 dollars a month.
You/me save the institutions money by letting them use the Inet for transactions, so why charge us for something that lets them keep more of my money to play with.
If you get such and offer I suggest you pass. You'll end up with more in your checking and savings accounts. Why pay them to save them money?

* People who say "pics or it didn't happen". If anyone ever says that to you, I suggest you inform them that it's not their decision.
* Those youtube comments that turn into arguments, even over the most innocuous videos.
* People who use the correct terms for () [] and {}. Normal people don't call these () parentheses, they call them brackets. [] = square brackets and {} = curly brackets (braces are for teeth and trousers).
* Parents who respond to their children running around out of control by meekly saying "come here pleeeeaaaaase" (mainly the mothers) or by ignoring it completely (mainly the fathers).
* Parents (only ever the mothers) who say "(

* People who think Stephen Fry is an expert on social networking just because he has a twitter account.
* People who post 'I don't get it' after someone posts a joke. If you don't get it, just forget it. You don't have to tell people.
I love a good moan

The proper way to use a boombox is displayed not in unfunny Lonely Island videos but long before that in (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEq10L7u3SM) Fatboy Slim - Ya mama.
And Stephen Fry is indeed an expert (among many things) on (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_4yrBoA2x4) social networking. At least he can gab rhapsodically about it, which happens to be the primary requirement to be an expert in this field.
