Syracuse, NY– Barely making it out alive, Joelle Young managed to survive a two hour and 11 minute car ride in which her unremitting, tone deaf friends sang along to the car’s music. According to Young, not only did her friends not know how to carry a tune, but they also didn’t know the lyrics to most of the songs.

“I tried changing the genre to country, didn’t work. Tried changing it to the instrumental soundtrack from The Lord of the Rings, didn’t work,” said Young. “No matter what I played they managed to find a way to ruin it.” Young says she even tried turning off the music completely but that was even worse because her friends would then try singing acapella a la Pitch Perfect.

Asking her friends to stop singing altogether was not even an option to Young. “I knew if I said something they would all get pissy and be passive aggressive to me all weekend and I wasn’t about to deal with that sh*t,” said Young.

Luckily for Young, the ride home on Jan. 31 was much quieter because everyone was too hungover to move or sing.
