I don't like your taste in music, and people hate me for it.

By God, and all things that are holy. I hate those ice cream trucks too.

Which reminds me, I hate fucking clowns also. (Pinche Payasa's)

Fuck ice cream trucks, I'm with you there.

You should come visit my neighborhood. That damn truck keeps the song on until about 11pm and drives down my street at about 3mph over and over again. When your living room windows are five feet from the street it's especially annoying.

Hey now, one of my best friends was an ice cream truck driver once.
He did blare whatever music he liked but he stopped everywhere. I used to ride with him. Sometimes kids would challenge us to a game of basketball for ice cream. Sometimes they won. Sometimes they lost. All the while offensive music blasted from the truck. Nobody ever minded. Don't knock ice cream truck drivers.

I used to love the ice cream truck. Until my dickhead neighbours had the trucks banned from our street, because they couldn't stand the music.

I also have a deep seated fear of people in costume on days other than Halloween. When I was six we went to Disneyland, and in the morning had breakfast in a cafe. Aladdin approached our table, and I was quite shy (having a crush on Aladdin at the time), and hid beneath the tablecloth between my mother's knees. To my great distress, he came under the table to try and pull me out, and I screamed and cried until he fled the cafe in humiliation.

Tally one more for the "I love ice cream trucks" side. Good thread idea, Fredric.

Back when I worked at Disney, I went to a party once with a bunch of other cast members and one of the guys who played Aladdin hit on me. True story.
