it's been said, common courtesy. That being said someone is always gonna be offended about something. Local music is ok for a while but eventually i'd like to hear my playlist, now if there is music already being piped in then no. my rule, if I'm there before you then you know what to expect (assuming my music is on). If i come after you i will play it low and ask, is that to load? As for a nice cigar, i will factor in the crowd, the density of the crowd wind direction and most importantly the wife look......which means i'm not lighting up, lol. Back to music, my comparison or equivalent is the group of loud, animated conversationalist who although are friends appear they are gonna kill each outer any minute. And yes they usually have cigarettes. I guess my fear would be them breaking out the ipod docking stations. Where was i with this? oh ya common courtesy, its a wonderful thing! 3 weeks till Riu Negril!!!!!!
