Teach you do spend all your time at death metal concerts...

hahaha The funny thing about that was I've never been to any concerts
like that.



One time I went to a friend's wedding reception. The
music was so loud, it was painful even with my hearing
aids turned off. I hollered and sign language at the

I feel your pain and aggravation.

music people to turn down that damn noise. They looked
at me like I was insane. I spent most of that event in
the foyer, behind a layer of glass doors. Even then,
it was a lot too much. Eventually, I left the premises.

Some years ago my office was located next door to a large room that was
rented out to various groups for special events. They set up a large
sound system and put gigantic speakers up against the wall that my
office shared with them. One day I was working away in my nice quiet
office when they turned the sound system on and proceeded to knock the
clock I had on the wall onto the floor. I had to cover my ears and
'bout jumped out of my chair when the clock hit the floor. They'd
turned up the sound system before, but not like that, and this was the
last straw. I left my office, walked out of the building, out the door,
around to their event entrance, covered my ears and approached the
people "testing" the speakers. When they saw me they turned it down
enough so they could hear me say, "Have you LOST your minds??? Do you
realize you can damage my hearing? My office is on the other side of
that -------- wall where those monster speakers are sitting, and those
speakers just knocked my clock off my wall!! PLS turn it down!"

They looked at me as if "I" was the problem and said to me, "Can't you
go work somewhere else?"

My response, "My OFFICE is there ----------! What is wrong with you??"

They managed to turn it down and a few weeks later they had a
representative go through our part of the building and listen to just
how loud their music really was. {{dimwits}} sheeeeeeesh

I've also not been to any loud concerts.


ditto.
