This is about decency.
It's always the people in the majority that don't think about their actions against the discriminated minorities in society, because they have no need to care.
I don't smoke anymore, but now I just don't hang around smokers.

One of my good friends has a huge B.O. problem, but his deodorant doesn't help much because he's a hyper-sweater. I joke to him that he stinks like ass, but I understand that he's doing what he can. I just sit as far away from him as possible.

As far as people listening to music loudly, I will concede that there should be certain limits, for instance, my neighbor's kid who's all of 15 years old probably shouldn't open his bedroom windows and position his speakers facing out so that the entire neighborhood can hear his incredibly ridiculous booty rap, but that's easily solved by talking to his parents, and/or calling the cops.

I, too, have been terrorized by an ice-cream man that loves to... I don't even know.. count his money?... right outside my door, with his ridiculous ice cream songs blasting, for tens of minutes at a time. Another problem easily solved by walking outside and telling him to knock the sh*t off.

The moral of this post is this...
Different people are annoyed by different crap all the time. But if you just sit there and stew about it without actually doing something to stop it, regardless of how it makes you look, then you're simply going to be tortured, and it's not anyone else's fault. For all they know, you're inside, naked, dancing to ice cream songs.
