I've spent too much time in waiting rooms lately, and I'm noticing more and more that no one seems to give two shits about how loud their damn phone is.
Playing Angry Birds are you? I can tell from the music that you suck at it.
Oh, did you just get another text? That's the 37th one in the last minute.
Can't anyone just turn their fucking volume off in public anymore, or am I being a crybaby about this?

My favorite is the people who take forever to get their 'ringing' phone out of their purse or pocket or wherever then proceed to stare at it trying to decide if they're going to answer it or not. Just answer the damn phone!

We're at Wee Man's therapy appointments for an hour and a half every Tuesday. One lady has 3 kids with her. All 3 kids have tablets. All of the tablets are being played on high volumes at the same time.
I have to put in headphones, because that's just too much for me.

That's not ok. We don't let Ryan do that in public ever. If he needs to hear it, he can wear his headphones.

That's our stance too, but I'm noticing these people more and more. I try not to let myself get too worked up over it, but I know I sigh and glare.

I sometimes wonder if I live in this bubble that doesn't have any obnoxious people in it, or if I'm really that oblivious that I just don't notice them. Maybe it's the slightly drunken haze that I live most of my life in, I'm almost never annoyed by other poeple.

I usually just say, "Thank you for sharing, but certain noises trigger my "condition". Then I make weird jerky motions. 100% success rate in volume lowering/switching to headphones.

For a millisecond, I thought I needed to be up there with you if these douchers are that scarce. But then I remembered, "Oh shit, yeah, snow," and took it all back. |
