Why cant people shut the hell up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sweet Buttabean Jellayroll]

what is so hard about being quiet these days? i want to know, im in a computer lab where talking is not permitted, or im in the library and people cant shut up. its causing me headache's, big time and i have a blistering headache right now. and it seems to be these old people who cant shut up either no disrepect but these people with accents (wont say which one) annoy the hell out of me, they always have to talk loudly be on their cell phone and talk all damn day long when im trying to concentrate.

 

what is so hard about being quiet? i mean really, do i have to get up and just kung fu the hell out of all of them

 

its a shame these old people cannot be quiet, got their cell phone ringing, speak no english hardly and cant shut the hell up always laughing and what not.

 

what can i do to overcome this beacuse i really have gotten a headache from all of this.

How about getting headsets or carrying your laptop and/or whatever books you got in a picnic park all alone.

[crookster_man]

Wow, what is it about them that really gets you?

 

You have some hidden rage at something!

Why don't you politely ask them to lower their voices?

these animals dont understand politeness

[dothk]

maybe you should get urself ear plugs

I bring it with me if I have to study in the library

[itsallgrand]

Take a big breath and step outside.

 

No, no, don't invite them to come with you. Just you. Walk around a bit. Shake it off.

 

You can save whatever you're doing, right?

Have you actually tried? And if they're being noisy in a place where they're meant to be quiet (i.e. the library) then you should go to the librarian and complain, she/he will either tell them to be quiet or kick them out, usually people listen to them. And if you ask them to be quiet the same way you're typing here then of course they won't respond.

Sounds like the talking is the straw that broke the camel's back, or in this case is the final trigger for your headache. I suspect there are lots of stresses in your life and when you're trying to concentrate these noises are distracting you even though on a comparative scale aren't that loud. The real world can be a tough place, I work in a plane and just the other side of a poorly sound resistant door there is a full production facility with 250 ton presses and lift trucks complete with backup alarms all day long. It's louder than talking, but in a way less distracting because there's no information in the noise. Talking is a problem because your brain automatically tries to follow the conversation so often lowered the voices can almost make it worse since you (subconsciously) end up concentrating even harder on the sound to understand it.

 

Rather than expecting them to shut up you are likely better just to find ways to deal with it. As other's have said, earplugs or headphones. Find another place to study, perhaps one where you can listen to something you want to like some music you are familiar with. If you're studying or working try to change what you're looking at from time to time to keep it interesting. If you get more involved with what you're doing because you can keep the interest up you may not even notice the talking.

Actually some people are stubborn as a mule. No matter how hard you explained that it annoys, they simple won't listen so it would be wise to have earplugs.

Wow dude, you hate these people because they are "animals" holy * * * * guy! I think you should see your office counciler for that one.

 

You understand judging a group of people based on something like "they talk with annoying accents and loudly on the phone thus they are animals" is not only completely racist it's the most backwards thing I've heard in a long time.

 

Somebody needs, help and it isn't the guy on the cell...

[tommy_bud]

I feel your rage. Was sitting in the airport last night during 3 hour layover. I don't care that people talk on their phones, but this dude sat two seats away from me, turn in my direction, and blabbed about nonsensical crap in his lispy gay voice at a volume louder then necessary. I was having visions of stabbing him in the chest, repeatedly.

 

Here's what I was thinking of. While not necessarily legal, you can buy these small remote devices which you can aim at people cell phones which will kill their connection temporarily. Man I wanted on so bad yesterday

see now this is what im talking about...............

 

when people just talk loudly it annoys me to no end.

 

and people with the accent tend to annoy me the most beacuse THEY seem to be the ones who cannot shut up.........

 

i mean its not hard to be quiet in a library or comp lab i mean its really not

 

and imma look into that remote device you are talking about

[Sweet Buttabean Jellayroll]

how very tolerant of you

 

it is i cant help that.............im no racist or anything like that i dislike everyone equally

I think a lot of people talk loudly on a cell phone because they can't hear properly. There's not necessarily a coresponence. If you're in a noisy place and can't hear it doesn't mean you need to yell into the phone.

 

Sometimes if somebody is talking loudly enough for me to clearly hear, I'll start pretending they're talking to me and answer back when thay ask a question etc. Once they actually become aware somebody else is getting all the details of what they're saying they often take it somewhere else, get off the phone, or talk more quietly.

[itsallgrand]

haha.

 

Once I got stuck on a bus between two seats of avid cell phone users. Phone people in all - me in the middle.

 

I'm not a fan of yabbering and ringing cell phones on the bus to begin with, and they guys behind me were speaking another language real frigging loud. One I had no clue about, couldn't even pick up a word. But it had a lot of high pitched tones to it.

The guy and girl up front of me were speaking another language too.

 

For some reason, that annoyed me. Maybe because I couldn't understand it and so it becomes like pure noise.

Can't understand the words, just the tone and shuffling of body noises. So how do you interject nicely?

 

It's just really distracting and awkward. No where to retreat to. I felt like the caged animal.

[buckdawg]

took the kids to see Harry Potter Saturday and someone's cell phone went off. thank god they didn't answer but they must have shown 56 clips asking people to turn off their cell phones. is it really that hard to be considerate?

[Bankers24]

Is there a security guard? I had this problem in my university library where someone was talking on a cell phone which is prohibited. After talking to the person on the cell phone and getting a response that they didn't care it was prohibited, I complained to the security guard who then went over and kicked the person out of the library. I would find an employee or security guard if I were you! I absoluletly agree that talking on a cell phone in a prohibited area like a library or computer lab is very RUDE!!

 

Good luck and don't stress too much!

Try sitting in on class with 30 people and one of them answers and talks on her phone in the middle of class. I was surprised the instructor didn't toss her out, I would have. Her highness was an idiot any way, while it made the grade curve make my grade all the better, it still would have been vindicating for her get hit in the backside by the door.

Haven't read the whole thread, but are there no rules about "No cellphones, no noise"???
