I ordered this megaphone shortly after having an argument with the 34;owners34; of the used car lot next to my house. These are the kids of the real owners who have retired but still actually OWN the lot. But that's besides the point. These people keep parking their overflow of junk cars in the no parking section of my street blocking traffic. The lot looked hideous with overgrown brush. So when The blight control officers came out to an anonymous tip to tell them to move their cars and cut down the brush, they started to to curse and insult us, us being my girlfriend and I. I can take verbal abuse, but my girlfriend shouldn't be subject to it and I was taught to not allow that to happen to the people I care about without defending them. So naturally an argument ensued. The argument turned into an ugly screaming match where I was accused of being a bum and was called many worse things. My throat ached from my verbal retaliation and found myself thinking, that surely there has to be a better way the next time I find myself in this kind of situation. That's when it hit me... 34;Megaphone.34; I've been waiting for a reason to use this bad boy since I got it. Of course when it first came I ran around the house letting my inner 10 year old self quote D-Generation X, letting everyone on the block know if they weren't down with this, then I had two words for them. Today I came home to the street being blocked and the brush pile sitting in the empty lot between the car lot and my house, that the land bank owns, that hasn't been removed since the blight officers came weeks ago. The time for megaphone action was now. I grabbed the trusty Pyle and demanded to know why the street was blocked yet again, and when the brush was going to be cleared. I was given the middle finger. I boomed through the megaphone with more questions. When he would try to answer I would activate the handy alarm or the programmed midi song feature. Being crushed this time around with decibels and my not even having to raise my voice he got frustrated and gave up. He tried to take a phone call and couldn't hear it over the screeching wail of the alarm. Defeated he got into his car and left. This is possibly the best 20 dollars I've ever spent.
