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.

What you failed to realize is in addition to hanging it ring, the vibrate feature was turned on to the max setting.

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.

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.

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

No. The other drivers excel at that anyhow.

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).
