No shouting, no swearing and I remember thinking at the time, why can't they all do that, instead of yelling the entire conversation so the whole bus load of us can hear. Another time I had to turn off my mp3 player because I couldn't hear my music over someone's excited bragging.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-30632162172243835882018-03-12T21:51:30.860-04:002018-03-12T21:51:30.860-04:00Agreed.

I don't commute on the train. The jacked-up pickup trucks around here are louder than their radios, and it's not really safe to turn a truck the F off when it's in the lane next to me. The Harley-riders are busy with their clandestine meth ring and disposing of a headless body in a septic tank a quarter mile from my house, and use more stealthy vehicles to accomplish these tasks. Here in the country, we let our leaves lay until they decompose and fertilize the soil.<br /><br />But I know EXACTLY what you're talking about! Nobody wants to hear that crap.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-23780539162033437072018-03-12T11:13:41.866-04:002018-03-12T11:13:41.866-04:00To the woman in the grocery store having a long co...To the woman in the grocery store having a long convo with her friend about her colonoscopy ~ turn it the F off!!!!

And maybe not go out in public.<br />See, right at this very moment I'm listening to a couple leaf blowers in a neighbour's back yard where their lawn care boys are too lazy to break out the rakes, but would sooner spent a good forty-five minutes trying to do a spring clean-up. <br />Or, when their annoying dog is outside, barking to be let in because well, they inadvertently trained him to do that? That's OK. I have a chain saw. It'll trump a barking dog any day of the week. Or weekend. <br />Wanna dine "al fresco" on a Saturday evening? Or maybe sleep in that morning?<br />Welp, I just might need to cut up some wood.
