stereotype galore[/url]

I knew you would say something about that :lol:

Black women do tend to be pretty loud.......never understood why

[Particle Man]

Yaaay!

Here comes more stereotype...

I was talking to a guy at work about this very subject the other day. He was telling me about the previous night when he was in a restaurant and there was a black woman being very loud. His friend asked, "why are they always so loud?" My co-worker said that it's because they always have to talk over the screaming kids, the loud tv, and the loud stereo. They get so accustomed to talking loudly, that they don't even realize they're loud.

:skep:

[the chi]

:lol: He may be right Capt.

This reminds me of the gym this morning, 2 very large black women came in to shout and holler about how they like their "dark" chocolate and all about some guy they were looking at. Of course they had to come into the women's area to yell about it. Not to work out, just to disturb anyone who was. I could hear everything over my rock music. I was considering lugging a weight at them.

However, thats not any worse than the skinny white lady in the locker room every friggin morning on her effing cell phone in her underwear. Seriously?!!? You cant go 5 minutes without being on the phone?! Then she was too friggin lazy to hold it to her ear so she puts it on speaker and sets it on the counter (while she's just SITTING on the bench STARING INTO SPACE) so I can hear it ringing on the other end. She's so damn loud and her phone is turned up so loud I can hear both sides of the conversation.

Why the hell can't people just have consideration for others?!?!

They should have a law where shoving someones phone or the other dumb loud idiot they are talking to up their rear is not assault.

Wait, is it still assault if you beat them with their own phone?

/end rant.

It's not black people... it's poor people.

Skinny white chicks in power suits with blackberry in one hand and cell phone in the other as well

Hell, this particular annoyance crosses all boundaries.

What he said. It's all people. The skinny white chick I have to deal with at the gym is always bragging to her "friends" in the locker room about what they did this last weekend (traveling, the gorgeous gym at the fancy hotel they stay in, etc.). She's not poor, just tacky, as evidenced by the horrific leopard print skirt my eyes were assaulted with this morning.

2 things. First my headphones are on prety much at all times at the gym to avoid just these things, lots of suburban housewives when I go in the mornings or afternoon. 2 you need to move from rock music to thrash/death metal, it will drown out everything and when people hear you listening to it the tend to leave you alone :lol:

I love my thrash and death metal, however since I already hate mornings, and I really dont like working out yet either (30 days to build a habit, I just broke the week mark), it might send me over the edge enough to actually try and kill someone for irritating me. Or just looking at me wrong. I think I scared the housewives with my big frightening tat this morning, they were giving me the wide berth with the sidelong glances. :lol:

As far as having it loud, I try to be considerate to other assholes. If I dont wanna hear them talk or their music, I try not to play mine so loud others cant hear anything but mine. On my Tuesdays and Thursdays I go to the Y, and I stay in the womens only gym. Listening to dude's breathing and grunting and generally sounding like they are taking a crap (which I hear at the base gym M,W,F) is just not so appealing. Unfortunately there, I cant listen to my trainer and my music. *sigh*

[Archren]

Gawker suggested, not without a dose of sincerity, (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/yblog_thelookout/us_yblog_thelookout/storytext/loud-cell-phone-talker-removed-from-quiet-car-by-police/41516352/SIG=12au59s1k/*http://gawker.com/5802980/hero-cops-escort-cellphone-loudmouth-off-train) that the cops who removed Beard from the train were heroes, and that Beard should be charged with "unspeakable crimes against humanity and sentenced to life on some distant planet where there are no reception bars, ever."

:lmao:

Do you guys use stuff like skullcandy, or over-the-ear headphones at the gym? I haven't found any earbuds that block noise as much as they claim to do.

[the chi]

My cat ate my skull candy ones, so I am currently using the apple ones that came with my phone. They are aight, but I dont really want total noise cancellation anyway.

Not cheap.. but they work pretty well (I use the foam vs. the flanged attachments, doesn't hurt my ear canals as much). I use them on the bike and on planes.

Skullcandy's are the best headphones I ever owned... I think I paid $10 for them... The regular earbuds hurt my right ear, but those work great. Not noise cancelling, but they fit directly in your ear canal...

I use Sony
Not sure about the model number but mine look exactly like these.

[goof2]

Up until recently I had a pair of these Sonys.

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Mdr-Ex55-Earbuds-Headphones-Silicon/dp/B00155C5IY

They were light, with the smallest ear cushions (come with 3) they fit in my ears perfectly, and the sound was very good for the price. After 2-3 years one side stopped working intermittently, but I'm still happy with the purchase.

To replace them I was going to get an identical set, but instead I picked up some Klipsch from Best Buy on closeout (no longer on the BB website). They were around 70% off and highly rated on Cnet so I had to do it. The sound is marginally better than the Sonys but the fit sucks. Even with the smallest cushions they are way too big for my ears. I guess for better sound they went with a bigger driver, but that makes them too big for me. The cord is much better protected than it was on the Sonys so they should last longer but it is also much shorter. When I'm doing yardwork with my iPod in a pocket the cord can get pulled tight.

If I had to do it over again I would have bought another pair of the Sonys.

I've gone through plenty of brands and so far have been consistently happy with the various Sony's I've had.

Yep, I've had a number of cheaper Sony earbuds that have worked well. I'll be going back to them after this pair quits too.

I use skull candy ear buds on airplanes... I think they are terrific for noise cancellation. Weird thing, as mentioned they annoy my right ear. But, I can hear what I want without blasting the volume. And, the person next to me doesn't hear what I'm listening to.

So they don't irritate you at all inside your helmet?

[Particle Man]

No. The other drivers excel at that anyhow.

[the chi]

For inside the helmet, I wear the over the ear type of earphones. Cant get the regular ones to stay in.

[HurricaneHeather]

I seriously gave up on headphones under helmet. They all hurt my ears no matter what. :shrug:

[Archren]

So they don't irritate you at all inside your helmet?

Not really, unless I don't have one inserted properly, then the helmet might tend to knock it loose as I put my helmet on. Maybe after hours upon hours of wearing them (i.e., long road trip).

I bought speakers that velcro into the ear cups in the helmet

[Flexin]

I use over the ear (JVC Black) while at the gym. When I'm at the gym with my brother in law I put one ear piece above that ear when not doing my set. When I'm by myself I have both on most of the time.

They block enough of what is going on around me. But most in ear buds should do the trick of they are the in the ear with ear piece. If they are like the Ipod ones then they won't block enough.

I normally don't have to play it that loud to block what I want to with my Blacks.

Whats with increase of black bashing since Tigger left?

She was a bitch for talking loud in the quite car but what I want to know is....What fucking phone does she have that last for 16 hours talking? Or was she plugged in?

And what was going on in the train that it took them 16 hours to toss her ass?

Amtrak has electrical recepticals in the walls. I usually plug my laptop in and keep working while rolling.

You would think at the 5 hour mark someone would have ripped it out of the damn wall and smashed it on the floor.

I"m thinking it's poor editing. They meant it was a 16 hour trip, not that she was talking for 16 hours. Nobody does that, they have to eat and piss.
