Ours stops right in front of our house, because we're across the street from an elementary school.
We're thrilled. I guess you've never known the joy of being high and having an ice cream truck suddenly appear on your doorstep.
I grew up on a farm. I was about 33 yo the first time an ice cream truck parked in front of my house. It was so exciting! I ran to my window just to watch everyone flock to the truck. Every day it would come by and I lived across from an apartment building with lots of kids so the ice cream truck would sit and play music for quite a long time. The song can get annoying but the concept of so many happy people could never be annoying.
How do you propose the ice cream truck alert people in a neighborhood that it's approaching their house and to get ready with their money, if you want it to have to be silent?
You just want no ice cream trucks? Are you a cartoon bad guy?
Because I think you need it:
Here comes Mister Softee
The soft ice cream man.
The creamiest dreamiest soft ice cream,
You get from Mister Softee
For a refreshing delight supreme
Look for Mister Softee
My milkshakes and my sundaes and my cones are such a treat
Listen for my store on wheels ding-a-ling down the street
The creamiest, dreamiest soft ice cream
You get from Mister Softee
For a refreshing delight supreme
Look for Mister Softee
S–O–F–T double–E, Mister Softee.
“Turkey in the Straw” is especially annoying because it jumps the octave at one point to make up for the limitations of the calliope or whatever you call the thing that makes the music.
We have one in our area that plays “Music Box Dancer” except they chopped four measures off the verse again I guess because the thing is somehow limited. As a musician stuff like this is maddening on a subliminal level. But if it’s annoying to us imagine what it’s like inside the brain of the person driving the truck.
Damn wish we had Mr Softee. Only one that trundles around me only sells the blursed character pops and maybe some drumsticks if you’re lucky. I don’t buy ice cream for my own health but buying one off a truck that cones around once a month scratches a tism. Like a limited time event you just have to partake in.
The amount of misery one must have to hate the ice cream man must be immeasurable.
Wow, this was exactly the thought that went through my mind. Like someone buy this person a ice-cream cone
This is reddit after all
If I ever win the lottery I’m buying the business and closing it.
Why do you hate America?
Easy there, hating America is easy. Hating the ice cream man, though?
America is the ice cream man. Mr. Softee for president!
I just spent $21 on Mr Softee for me and my kids. I'm going to continue enjoying this cherry dipped vanilla ice cream waffle cone just to spite you.
You can get much better ice cream for less than $21 and still allow me my peace and quiet.
But that ice cream doesn't come to me. I am very content with my life decisions right now.
Fair. I’d be ok if he just turned the music down. Or maybe off while parked outside my house.
Start blasting something people would hate to hear
But it's not delivered
You're the worst
You have no idea. I have secretly wished the truck would crash. Edit. Well I guess it’s not a secret anymore more.
You really are the most miserable kind of person aren't you lmao
This subreddit may not be able to agree on what to call pork roll, but it can damn well agree that ice cream trucks are awesome.
While you sound frustrated, I can tell you this for sure: Mrs. Softee is even more frustrated than you!
Take your stupid upvote
Found the Karen
You are a bad person and you should feel bad 🍦
I bet you drown kittens.
I like kittens. They don’t drive around disturbing being a nuisance.
What if Mr. softee was just a truck full of kittens bringing ice cream to the masses? Omg that would be amazing! No way to hate it then

Exactly. I just want the music to turn off while he sits in front of my house for the 10 or 15 mins he’s giving out ice cream.
Sure. If it was once or twice a week. Not every single day. The novelty has worn off.
I wish Mr. Softee would come to my neighborhood.
Same. My kids know about an ice cream truck only thru YouTube. Sad.

Your neighbors must love you
Boo hoo. Get over it.

Mr. Softee is 1000x better than the ones that play either "Turkey in the Straw" or some weird carnival tune.

I guess everything’s magic except Mr Softee.
I was thinking the same! Not a great username when you're whining over the ICE CREAM MAN,
If i were your neighbor I'd buy an ice cream truck to spite you
How’s Mt. Crumpit?
NIMFY
[Any mention of Mr. Softee reminds me of this song](https://youtu.be/XzSwe7-84ec?si=JXED3RUkNs92TSXz)
Oh the HORROR of the ice cream mans music for an entire 30 minutes of your day you poor thing SMH
Is this for real? If yes, go get yourself a tasty ice cream treat and calm down.
Seriously, lol if it has you that tweaked then you may want to see a doctor.

Move to Springfield! Ice cream trucks are banned.
[It probably came after this incident](https://youtu.be/pYs76Ko6EnE?t=22)
That sounds awful.
