    Many years ago my station of choice when driving to work started running an advert for car safety. The sound effect was a loud blaring car horn and the sounds of screaming tires and a crash. The first, second, third time I heard it was instant jolt of panic and left me jittery. I switched stations after the third time.

      Made a greentext out of your story (I took some creative liberties):

      be me, driving to work still tired and half asleep

      turn on radio loudly to wake me up a bit

      suddenly hear the most horrific accident happening

      take a second to compose myself

      it was the fucking radio station

      fully awake now

      And this is part of why I don’t listen to the radio while I drive. The other part is because I bought a cheap android stereo and I couldn’t be fucked to buy the adapter to hook my antenna up to the stereo.
      I guess being lazy is saving me from early morning drive radio jump-scares.

    I just noticed the headphones in the picture are Audeze LCD 2, I think. Expensive AF. In case anyone wanted to know that.

    I remember that one station that would advertise that they would play “uninterrupted music” during certain parts of the day. Only to then constantly interrupting it to tell us how they currenlty playing “uninterrupted music”.

    Please let the old timey beard look die already. I’m not having sex with a dude that looks like that.
