You forgot the subway and the park.

Not the sort of thing I normally condone, but I think if there was ever a good use for a Bluetooth jamming device - Flipper Zero, etc - this is it.

Where I live both are acceptable, but it depends on where you go

If you go to the "main beach" that's where you bring music. You show off your body, you listen to loud music, you cruise, etc...

But if you go the "locals beach", you show up looking like shit, keep your music down, and lots of people drink illegally but they do so low-key so while we all know they're doing it, nobody cares

To me, both are acceptable. It kind of sucks to think there is no place at the beach where you can party

But it also kind of sucks to think that there is no place at the beach where you can actually enjoy the ocean

SO we have both, you just need to know where to go

They had a guy like that at a work site. In the end somebody ground down some of the graphite part of a pencil and sprinkled that down the openings of his boom box. It short-circuited when he tried to switch it on the next time and there was silence after that.

Thank you, I specifically crafted this 3 hour slam death metal and goregrind compilation for my 5am beach walk by the residential area.

There is this fucking guy at my local park that sets up a full DJ system with giant speakers and “spins” electronic music, by himself, with no audience, loud as FUCK, at least one day every goddamn weekend for multiple hours. Everyone loathes him, but he doesn’t seem to care.

It's like people have no sense of why they go places.

A few years back, I did a lantern-lit tour of Mammoth Cave. I've done them in the past, and the ambiance, sound, smell, and flicker of firelight gives a very close yet mysterious feeling to the tour. This time though, as soon as we got into the cave, half the dipshits on the tour had their harsh white cellphone flashlights going everywhere, completely ruining the experience that they (and other people) had just fucking paid for. They really need to have a "movie theater" cellphone policy for those kinds of tours.

I have come to understand that there is a subset of people that have never spared a thought for anyone else. They probably have never even considered the fact that I don't want to listen to their stupid bullshit. The thought never crossed their mind, not even once.

Idk i feel like most beaches this is pretty acceptable. In my experience if you walk further from the parking lot you get more seclusion and peace. IMO a reasonable volume on a speaker isn't any more disturbing than kids playing which is expected at the beach.

"De bwootooth dewice is readey to paih"

JOKE'S ON YOU ASSHOLE, I DON'T LISTEN TO THIS PLAYLIST ANYWHERE ELSE, BECAUSE I MADE IT JUST FOR THIS BEACH TRIP!

Yeah let's go for a semi-relaxing float down the river...oh look 2 dipshit trashy rednecks blasting their shitty country/hip-hop playlist over a cheap Walmart amp-sized speaker with the sound quality of a flip phone.

I swear the next time I go on one of those I need an air pistol that only shoots small darts. Fire one at the float carrying that speaker and just float on happy.

I just walk 100m along the beach and can't hear them anymore. Most people are too lazy to walk more than that distance from the car park. A fact that is very obvious when I kayak past the coast here and can use the dense clusters of people on the beach as landmarks with almost no one between them. First cluster is the lifeboat station, second and third are cafes, fourth has ice cream.

It’s not like people bringing loud music to the beach is something new and different.

Music vs 10 ppl trying to loudly talk over each other

I believe that they do for the attention, they must notice the nasty looks, they must know most people find that annoying in a place like that

To be fair, I also hate to be left alone with my own thoughts for even 1 minute... I'm just considerate enough to use headphones.
