I'm probably the only one who thinks this, but ice cream vendors are noisy and obtrusive to the neighborhood. I hate relaxing after a long day only to have the silence blasted with out-of-synch Christmas music (in July), Farmer in the Dell, Pop-goes-the-weasel, and other annoying "songs" that stick to your brain. I imagine the Beach Boys blaring wouldn't be any better. If I'm in the mood for that kind of music, I'll put it on my headphones. Then there are the creepy ice cream trucks who sneak into the neighborhood and look more like a vehicles for child napping than ice cream wagons. And finally, I don't see how they can make money doing what they do. By the time you subtract the costs of driving around all day plus the cost of ice cream, how much profit is in that? Certainly not enough to keep annoying the neighborhood! When they slowly go by my place, I secretly wish I had a rocket launcher and the courage to use it.
