I'm talking about GROWN men, outside past 10pm, installing a car stereo amplifier.  The damn windows were rattling.  Could it be a lack of propper parenting that causes some people to be so damn inconsiderate, or just pure ignorance?

Luckily I'm not home that time of night.. however I have been known to mow my grass 7am on a Saturday morning.. that probably pisses off the nighbors who are trying to sleep in.\nI think it is a lack of proper parenting now adays that lets the idiots with the loud music run thru residential areas with their music so loud that it rattles everyones windows... I keep threatning to sit out on my porch and take pot shots at them.

Sounds like they r 2 far gone to listen to anything u have 2 say, some people have to learn from their own mistakes.\nJust B a good freind and help them get through.  They'll know next time.

Well ... I'm sure you've read everything from strips, to doctors to ear plugs to nudging ... but come on who really wants to wake up nudge the person over until they stop ... that's the part that kills me ... he's on his back in a few minutes anyways & I'm stuck awake all night pushing and shoving his body over ... lol ... !\n\nI've learned to pick out his " bad " nights & sleep in the other room ... I also have ear plugs but it makes me nervous because I like to hear what's going on at night with the house, my daughter .... etc ... if he hasn't tried the strips yet I'd buy a few of those ... if that doesn't work - maybe a doctors visit is necessary ... other then that ... I also see why my grandma & grandpa slept in separate bedrooms my whole life too ... lol ... !

These days a lot of parents are so young that they are still trying to be kids themselves doing stuff like going out all the time and partying. They don't spend quality time with their children teaching them things that parents used to teach their kids like respect and other characteristics that a lot of kids these days don't have. Also kids learn from example so if they see mom and dad cussing out the grocery clerk or waiter or some other innocent person who accidentally did something wrong they think that's how to act.

oh lol  I thought you meant in general....  I must have missed those\nI have a theory that people are growing increasingly LAX about parenting, which basically means people need to get with the program & knock some sense into their damn kids these days.  True story.\n\np.s.    thickchix & suth'rn men go goooooooood  ;-)\np.s.s.  the TP/boobies/ex-wife thing was friggin hilarious

I agree!!! There are a lot of redneck types around here too. Having a loud truck or car doesn't make you tough or cool. Another thing that bugs me is people that stick a wing and loud exhaust on their car, then think they are in fast and the furious. They are sad people who seek attention.

It's not just you. I live in Viginia in the US and I see this kind of thing all the time. What really bothers me with this is the fact that no one is considerate of the other "guy." Failing to signal, pulling out in front of... all things that I am guilty of at times but never intentionally. I do know that there are a large number of people out there that think "I'm more important. I need to get where I'm going before these other people so they don't matter." Well, guess what! I don't see no ligths on your car and you ain't got no siren. SLOW DOWN!!!\n\nBut can actually see yourself buying an automatic weapon and mowing them down. Maybe you do need help.

Because society has taught (slowly)and accepted over the years that everything else made someone do something because of either someone else or something else. Never taking responsiblity for their own actions. I drive a school bus and have come across MANY,MANY mother's who refuse to accept that their child misbehaved in any way shape or form. You can tell them that their son/daughter threw a book, hit the other kid, tripped them etc, etc and you tell the Mom at the bus stop and they look you in the eye and say, "Well, the other kid must have done something for my child to hit, trip, push the other kid" OR, she/he is tired, was not feeling well etc.I would say 90% of the hundreds of different kids I have come across over the past years fall into the catagory of "it's not my fault" Then the other 10%, the parents will say " I don't care what reason you did that, it was wrong". So, with a good majority of kids being raised with "it's not my fault", they grown into adults, have children and wa-la, we have the Not My Fault Generation.

Did you just fly in from stupid town?  Why do you think they got so pissy!  I mean think about it.. If some one was banging on your house over and over again, or you for that matter, don't you think you would get pissy to?  I woudln't advise doing that anymore, it might get you killed one day.

Reminds me of a joke about a permit test question:\n\nQ: Why is it hard to be a police officer?\nA: Cause it's hard to be a dick all day.\n\nYou get good cops, bad cops and lazy cops.  If the mufflers are within regulations for sound, then the cops cant do anything, however if your stereo is too loud, they can tell you to keep it down.  They should only tell you to keep it down not give you a citation or anything unless you are blasting it at 4AM.

It's a selfish thing and I've noticed it too.  This generation, like no other I can remember, thinks always of themselves first, second and maybe third.  The don't flush (guys at least) because they a) can't be bothered; b) don't want to touch anything that might get them dirty; and c) have better things to do then to be polite to society in general. \n\nIt is another decline of the state of civility and respect that some of us have come to enjoy.  Hopefully, in time, they will grow into some sense of responsibility - but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Bad...even though my common sense told me in case emergency, I  was like "oh, he owes his dealer and got his ass kicked. i see". And i'm a sweet girl too.\n\nMy parents should have never raised me in that neighborhood...

People who say those silly things were like that when they were kids. They grew in size, but still maintain their childish behavior. Some refer to it as "spoiled". When they don't get their way they throw a tantrum. Bet they were like that when Mom took them to the store.

Somebrowing said "Hey parents, babies still don't make themselves."  High five to you, woman! I feel very fortunate because when I grew up, chores and privileges were delegated by age, not gender. My brothers and I were all taught to be self-sufficient and responsible. Our parents both had careers and were excellent role models for us. I can do basic car maintenance and my brothers can cook and sew....and vice versa. \nWe all had the same curfews based on age and were expected to let our parents know where we were at all times. I think boys and girls can both have many privileges and a great deal of freedom if they act responsibly.

Because most of them are going brain dead and don't realize that 1. It's a nuissance to the community, 2. It's a danger to themselves, their passengers, and other drivers because they can't hear emergency vehicles to get out of the way or other cars they are in danger of hitting, and 3. Playing the bass that loud in a car literally rattles the car apart costing them money to fix it repeatedly in the long run (not to mention the damage it does to surrounding buildings).  It's a shame that people who put these speaker systems in their vehicles haven't been taught better by their parents of the danger involved to their hearing, safety, and how ignorant it is toward others.  I've even seen mothers (mostly poor) driving around with their young children in vehicles with the sound so loud that their children now have hearing loss.  And the police claim it would take up too much of their time to go after these idiots to give them citations (in our area it's $100/offense--and no one has been cited).  The police in our area also realize that most of the people performing such a disservice to the community are also drug dealers who use loud car stereo systems to announce they are in the community to any buyers in ear-shot.  How dumb can you get?

Is this a gross generalization or what?  I see young men with shaved heads and tattoos driving around listening to classical music at a reasonable volume as well as older long haired women with no tattoos speeding past with volumes approaching the threshold of pain.  Perhaps your experience is a local thing.  It takes all kind to make a world.  Some kinds just seem stranger than others.

it stems from lack of discipline when the are young. mommy and daddy giving them everything. they expect everyone to just get out of their way.
