Music Volume: When will they ever learn ?

[a447]

I don't mind loud music - I usually crank up the audio system at home and in the car, but only when I am by myself.

If someone is with me I turn it down, or off, so that I can enjoy conversation.

I go to a bar to talk to the guys so earplugs would be of little use. If the music is so loud as to prevent conversation, I will just go somewhere else.

The bar will miss out on my money (as will the guys) but that is not my problem.
