Blasting 'Bohemian Rhapsody' at a stoplight and forgetting my windows were down

I was sitting at a light on Main Street in Dayton, windows down, and cranked it up to 35 on the volume dial. A guy in the car next to me just stared as I belted out the opera part... took me a solid 10 seconds to realize everyone could hear me.

Hold up, 35 on the volume dial? Bro, your ears must be made of steel or something. I hit 20 and feel like my car's about to rattle apart.

Hold up, 35 on the volume dial? That's insane. I don't think I've ever pushed mine past 25 without my ears starting to bleed. The opera part too, that's the loudest, most embarrassing section to get caught on. Honestly, that guy in the next car probably got the show of a lifetime. Ngl, I'm kinda impressed you committed that hard to the bit, even if it was by accident. Tbh, I'd have to move to a different city after that one.

Completely feel you on this one. I've been there with "Mr. Brightside" at a red light, windows fully down, screaming the chorus like it's 2004 all over again. The worst part is that frozen moment when you realize the person next to you is watching, and you just have to commit or curl up in a ball of shame. Honestly, that guy in the Dayton probably had the best moment of his day, watching someone live their truth like that. Did you at least give him a nod or just pretend you were still lost in the music?
