Am I a curmudgeon?
I have listened to the above song more than anything in iTunes. 400 times a week or more (3 times through, 2 times per hour, for 10 hours a day, 6 days a week). That is too much.
To be fair, I live across from a playground that is always full of our future obese — but nonetheless, they need to stop the jingle (it’s the law!) when they park at a curb.
Like I told the driver, I have a “soft” spot for ice cream trucks. They are awesome. But as a resident of the street, the song is just plain torture at the frequency at which I am forced to listen to it.
I tried calling Mister Softee, but their voicemail box was full. So tonight I filed a complaint with 311. Hopefully those kids from Omaha at least write a song about it.
And now they face a $350 fine. That’s a lot of ice cream cones.
If you’d like to follow the complaint as it makes it’s way through the system:
Complaint #185020061
sign you are old: you threaten legal action against the ice cream man
