Talking Loudly

Why is it that some people just can’t “read the room”? I was at the doctor’s office the other day, and these two men were sitting there talking about sports, in a normal conversational tone. I mean, my wife and I and the other people in the room are whispering or talking softly, and here comes these two bozos running their mouths as if everyone needs to hear what they are talking about.

The old Average Joe would have confronted them, but I’m just not feeling myself recently and I notice that I’m allowing things like that to continue without the Jarhead in me surfacing. I’m not sure how I feel about that.

These types of people are the same ones that talk during a movie. The same people that talk loudly anywhere you are supposed to not talk loudly. You can hear them in the library and the worst is their damn phone. You know that they will have this annoying ring tone and talk loudly almost yelling on their phone. I could never understand why people do that. Sure, many years ago the connections were poor and you often had to talk loudly, but not today. These are the same people that will orientate the microphone on their home towards their mouth as if they have to talk directly into the microphone and then talk loudly, in order for the person on the other end to hear you. I imagine that the person on the distant end is holding their phone away from their ear because the asshat is talking so loudly.

Yesterday, I was at a medical imaging place for x-rays of my ribs for my Costochondritis and this guy came in and while everyone else it talking softly to the ladies behind the glass, this guy, didn’t just talk loudly, he shouted. I mean, I’m fairly certain that people in the back of the office could hear him.

People, people, people, read the room and have a little common courtesy, don’t be that asshat.

Greetings Earth People, I'm Mia and Joe is allowing me to post on his blog as a guest blogger, I sure hope he knows what he is in for. I wanted to post about some of my pet peeves and he told me that he already has a guest blogger for that section, so I'm going to post about etiquette. Now this isn't some stuffy how-to have a dinner party BS with a half dozen different forks, this is more along the lines of don't be an asshat type of etiquette. The dictionary describes etiquette as "the customary code of polite behavior in society or among members of a particular profession or group.". I define it as, don't be that asshat that everyone hates.
