Hatred. The same level I reserve for Nazis and people who don't hold the run button down in platformers.
Lol no I agree. But If I'm listening to music in private it's not quiet.

You can listen to your music as loud as you want, as long as I don't have to hear it.

A hotel I used to work at got robbed. Guy came in with a bandanna tied around his face and his hand is his jacket pocket, suggesting he might have had a weapon. He made the clerk go into the laundry room behind the desk and lie on the floor. He then threw some sheets over her and told her not to move. Then he went to the desk, straight to the cash drawer, took the money, and left. He obviously knew something about the layout to know there was a laundry room (he told her to "go into the laundry room", not just "get in there"), and where the cash drawer was. The cash was kept in a drawer that was rarely locked (the lock was a real pain, so we typically didn't use it if we were at the desk), but he didn't realize that anything over a tenner was kept under the tray, so he only got like $30 worth of fives and ones.

No, he's totally right. When I was in high school, my mom owned a little general store up in the mountains... about half of the store was beer, wine and spirits; the other half was convenience grocery, bait and tackle, video rentals, smokes, and tourist souvenirs. She prided herself on the cleanliness of her store. The only thing that *never* got cleaned out? The oil pan in the popcorn machine.

Nah, Gran is right. It's assuming the rest of the world wants to hear your music. I can FEEL my neighbor's bass some nights.
There's no reason for that.

Other people's noise never got to me until I started having mental health issues. This isn't an age thing, its a trauma thing. On good days where I'm feeling healthy, my kids can have songs with crude lyrics about wetness blasting at ridiculous volumes and I'll be like "sounds like they're in a good mood."
Honestly, on good days when I hear loud music I usually start dancing.
There's exceptions though. If someone has the score to the Shining going full blast and one of those high-pitched, shriekey moments comes up, I'd probably get annoyed.
My girls get so embarrassed riding in the car with me in the summertime. I'll pull up next to another car with thumping bass, make eye contact with someone in the vehicle, then start head-banging to the beat. My kids sink down and cover their faces.

I really don't get the hate about room parties. Our room parties were watching anime all night and cooking with the rice cooker and eating whatever we could and then passing out. We got security or what have you called on us for that but the people having very loud sex right next door? Nothing.

Yeah, all that Death Note was really throwing off my rhythm so I had to make the call. Sorry 'bout that.

Overall, it's definitely a "personal space" thing that aggravates me no end. In my travels, I've learned that Americans want and provide far more physical personal space than other cultures. Unfortunately, this doesn't extend to any sort of emanation:
- Slathered on perfume or aftershave
- Horrific body odor
- Loud personal conversations
- Loud music
- Coughing, sneezing, or otherwise spreading germs
- Smoking
- Vaping
In general, my attitude is, "You can do anything you darned well please as long as I don't have to inhale it, it won't cause me injury (for example, excessively loud music), and, if I am in my own home with the windows closed, I don't notice it."
I consider that a fairly low bar in requesting personal space.
It is far, far too high of a bar for most people in the world. And Americans are uniquely resentful. "Can you please not smoke in the elevator? I have asthma and there's a 'No Smoking' sign right there."
"This is 'Mericuh! I can smoke anywhere I want! It's my Constitutional right!"
Because it's always about "Constitutional rights". I think they believe the Constitution is several thousand pages long, detailing smoking, masks, shorts, thong bikinis, and all kinds of other topics it's utterly amazing the Founding Fathers thought of at all...

I go to a hotel to sleep. If you are making so much noise after 11:00 pm that I cannot sleep, I will call the front desk and complain. The reason people don't complain about loud sex is that it typically doesn't last as long as an anime marathon...
EDIT: The hotel we use for the high school Disneyland trip knows how to deal with it: All the large groups are put in one wing, and all the single-room occupants are in a separate wing. The only time we've had issues has been when either single-room occupants get put into the large-group wing because of booking issues, or when one of the large groups is so loud that the other groups have to come down on them. I'm looking at YOU, Disneyland cheerleading squad competition!
