People with Surround Sound Systems: Quit trying to blow my ear drums out!

[LostInAnomie]

Why is it that every time I go to watch a movie at someone's house that has a surround sound system they have to try to blow my fucking ear drums apart? Look people, I understand that you've paid a lot of money to improve your home theater experience but that does not give you the right to blast every movie from Top Gun to Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood at the the absolute maximum volume your TV can handle. I come to your house for three reasons: 1) To eat your food 2) To stare at your wife's or girlfriends cleavage 3) To watch a movie. I do not come there for the sonic equivalent of having my ears raped with a pipe cleaner.

If that is the way you want to play it I am going to have to quit inviting myself over for movie night.
