Understand what you hear
High signal strength and colorful operating styles are part of its folklore, but reception often depends on propagation and station locations. Hearing someone loudly does not reveal the actual legal compliance of the station.
Operate responsibly
Follow applicable FCC CB service rules, power limits and interference prohibitions. Listening can be an interesting window into CB history; transmitting responsibly protects other spectrum users.
