My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.

and the awful, awful musicIf I wanted to listen to R. Kelly and the ringtone brigade, I would come round your house.
I would love to see if they responded civilly to me pulling up on their street blasting something they hadn't planned on listening to that day.

So ifI were to walk through your house every now and then and drown out whatever you are watching/listening to/conversing with by blasting massive noises that wouldn't bother you?
It is a problem and they are anti-social regardless of whether they are holding "a cruise" or not.
