noise... who needs it?

Talk about noise: City Mall!! Went to the new grocery and they had this loop playing "shop more ... get more ... savings at save more" over and over and over and turned up so loud you cannot talk to the person right next to you. Drove me crazy, told my wife to finish grocery shopping and I would meet her in the Food Court. It was even worse, the concrete and tile construction make the food court a giant echo chamber and cacophony of people yelling to talk over the noise and the karaoke that was going on at max volume made it unbearable. Got out of there and went to walk around in the mall, loud pa announcements going on in the overhead speakers, someone had a pa setup and were giving something away but it was turned up so loud you could not understand a word they were saying - a table was setup outside Handyman and someone with a headset on was giving a demo of something turned up so loud to try to be heard over all the other noise that was going on. There is no escape, every place you can go in that mall is acoustic torture! The managers of City Mall have done a very good job at creating an environment that makes you want to get out of there as fast as possible!

 

One of my dogs hates loud bangs, It tries and breaks the door down when it thunders. Also, the bang from those improvised tubes they kids seem to enjoy making.
Shouted to the dog to grow a pair then realised I had him neutralised.

 

And in 20 years they will wonder why God made them deaf.
