Asshole-Quashing Flashlight
It's like turning on the lights in a NYC tenement and watching the cockroaches scurry.
My boyfriend got me this night watchman 770-lumen Seven-Z flashlight as a present. It runs on AAAA batteries, which is convenient, yet could still cast light from one end of an airplane hanger to another. Very, very bright light.
Well, it's 5:53 a.m., Sunday morning, and some asshole just started blasting music in his car right outside my windows and my neighbors'. I'm up to write. My neighbors are still sleeping. Before he could wake all of them (or wake all of them all the way), I ran out, stood on the bottom support of the fence, and shined this very, very, verrrrry bright light into his car.
He took off instead of sitting there blasting us with sound. And I got to feel all everyday superhero. ("Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck": Be kind but punish the rude -- and their eyeballs...with very, very bright light.)
Ooohh, sounds like one of the tactical assault flashlights to me. :)
Also works well on skunks, racoons and other critters you may run into walking a dog at night.

It is nice to know that asshole repellant can be had for such a reasonable price.

Is it really powered by AAAA batteries?

Yes, but a nice 5 D cell Maglite makes a very effective club. In a pinch. I'm just sayin'.

Clowns like this will leave the sound on max when they exit the car to go into a store. Purpose is to annoy others.
I had a client in the aftermarket sound system business. He said it is common for customers to come in after six months or so saying the thing had lost some of its zip.
He was going to invest in hearing aid stocks.
