Here’s a new one for you . . . the “criminal” isn’t today’s title holder for our Darwin Olympics.

Meanwhile in England . . .

Think about the stereotypical “old person” who is shaking their fist in their air while yelling at some dang kids to turn down their dang music . . . and then flip it and reverse it.

An 82 year old gentleman named Ian Trainer — who lives in Liverpool, England — is pretty hard of hearing, but he LOVES classical music.

So, he tends to blare his tunes pretty loud, and has been doing so for the last few years.

Well, his neighbors said ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH, and decided to band together to get a court order against Ian playing his classical music too loud.

What constitutes as “too loud?” We’re glad you asked . . .

Ian is prohibited from playing his classical music above “normal talking level,” which is 65 decibels.

HELLO?!?! Dude is hard of hearing? In what world is “normal talking level” an appropriate limit for this guy to listen to his classical jams?

Ian didn’t really care about the court order banning him from cranking his tunes, and continued to do his thing and get his classical jams on.

Until the neighbors called police to file a noise complaint, showcasing the elderly dude was violating the noise order . . . and Ian was promptly arrested.

Recently, Ian was sentenced on the noisy charges and is now facing 24 weeks in JAIL!!

C’mon, man! The guy is in his 80s!! If he wants to listen to his music and blasting it is the only way he can hear it, let the guy do his thing.

Here’s how the scenario SHOULD HAVE played out . . .

The neighbors annoyed by his loud classical music playing habits should have pooled their money together or even raised funds to soundproof the guy’s home, or they could have bought him some epically awesome headphones so Ian could listen to his music loud enough to hear it, while not being too noisy for his neighbors.

This is why the guy’s neighbors are today’s winners in our super judgmental segment we call the Darwin Olympics.

Shame on those nasty neighbors.  We get it, loud is loud, but dude is in his 80s. Come up with another option than putting him in jail.

His mugshot breaks our hearts.
