Why do people ...

Deleted User

SHOUT loudly on phones on public transport/in public places and even put them on LOUD SPEAKER!!!!

Why is there LOUD music in every place I go to eat and/or have a coffee even if it's a nice little countryside place like the one I went into today.  Who wants it?  The customers or the staff?

Over to you  ...

A moan a day is the well balanced way.

  • Before I retire to my boudoir to powder my nose, here's another thing.

    Why, when we are out, do people always seem to expect to TALK? 

    It can be shop assistants, people sitting nearby on a bench, in a cafe, anywhere really - they want to chat with me and I'm not unfriendly, but I do find conversation often unnecessary and usually a strain.

    Does anyone else experience this?

    It is how they are trained.

    Engage with the customer, make them feel a part of the shopping "experience" and they will be more likely to spend money.

    If works for neurotypicals statistically often enough to be a thing.

    Or maybe you just give off the vibe that you want talking to - maybe ask them why the next time(s) to see why they initiated the conversation, that way you get it from the horses mouth.

    The same with Christmas music in stores - it is all to "get you in the mood" to buy all that seasonal crud.

    I must add, in case I sound unkind, that I recognise loneliness, and I'm not really talking about that - I think I can tell if someone is lonely, and then I don't really mind.
