On the person who... thinks everyone shares his taste in music

This weekend my family made a short drive to Sequoia National Park to play in the snow. Our insides were telling us we were hungry so we found a pleasant picnic area to enjoy our lunch. There we were munching our sandwiches and sipping our sodas when this car pulled up into the parking lot, Mexican music blaring, pum-PUM pum-PUM pum-PUM. You know the sound. If you've ever watched a comedian parody Mexican music, you know the sound. And to squelch any thoughts that this particular observation has any racist overtones, let me tell you, my other half is half Mexican.

There we were enjoying nature at its finest. The cold winter air, the snow, surrounded by trees that are as big as they are beautiful, and the person who thinks everyone shares his taste in music drives up. And how do I know that he thinks everyone shares his taste in music? Because he proceeded to park and get out of his car, and LEFT THE MUSIC BLARING! What arrogance to think that everyone within earshot shares the same taste in music as you. What ill-mannered and intrusive behavior to insinuate on the innocent fun-seekers in Sequoia National Park.

If in the course of things you happen upon a silver Honda Accord, license plate 5ZUS710, please tell him to turn it down to a small roar next time!
