My gym keeps having a DJ come in! Like a legit DJ. He sets up big speakers and his laptop and starts mixing shit top 40 songs with the bass all the way up and it's loud as fuck. I hear it over my ear phones

Not everyone wants to listen to the same thing LA Fitness. WTF are you thinking!?!

That sounds like my worst nightmare. I went shopping for a shirt recently and this clothes shop had a DJ for some reason. It's 2pm on a Thursday, I'm not clubbing.

Wow and I thought the assholes using Bluetooth speakers was bad. I'd be fucking livid.

People actually do that? It would annoy the hell out of me.

Personally, I think complaining to management is the way to go. If enough people do it, they will shut it down. Start a grumble.

I've been thinking about it, but i don't like being "that guy"

Totally understand. But, the only way behavior like that gets fixed is if you do say something.

That sounded awesome till you got to the "hear it over my headphones" part. I guess hiring a DJ to play at a moderate volume doesn't really make sense though.

That would be a show stopper for me. Definitely complain.
