Today was a fun hiking day. First I saw some old hiking pals and we made fun of Trump for about 20 minutes. Everyone was laughing their asses off. Good times.
Next, I passed two different groups of young Latinos. They were all very friendly. So, the hike so far had a really good vibe.
Then, as I was still headed up the mountain, I heard someone blaring, and I mean blaring, rap music.
They were pretty far behind me and looked like they were moving at a normal pace, so I thought, Great, I’m going to have to listen to this for ages if I don’t just stop and wait for them to pass me.
I stopped at a lookout point to wait and drink water. Suddenly, there they were. They had started jogging. Caught up to me too fast for me to think of something good to say. So, without thinking, I blurted out (to the very Aryan-looking 20-something white couple listening to mind-numbingly loud rap):
Me: Silence is golden.
She: Enjoy your hike! (sarcastically)
Me: Buy some earphones! (as they’re running past)
She (calling back) I can’t hear you!
Me: Assholes!
He: LOLLOLLOLLOL!!!
Privileged fucking white kids!
PS: Is there an app now that makes your phone sound like a gotdam boom box?
