A quiet section of a library
Do you know
anyone who talks loud? No? Hi, my name is Angie and I talk loud. You now know a
loud talker. When I talk on my cell phone, my kids say I’m yelling.
“Why do you
talk so loud on the phone?” My younger teen asks.
“Sometimes I
can barely hear what the other person is saying.”
“So you talk
louder?”
“Yep.”
On a recent
visit to my local library, I stumbled upon a fellow loud talker by accident. I was sitting in a semi-quiet section of the
library, just a few shelves and a couple of pillars from the active children’s
section. The round table that I sat at was just enough room for my laptop and
the picture books I was using for research.
It wasn’t
long before a middle aged man strolled past me talking on his cell phone. His
conversation went something like this…
“Ok, I can
hear you now, I was in a loud area of the library.”
I smiled to
myself as I thought, so you left the loud
area to come to a quiet area and talk loudly? The man planted himself in a
cushioned arm chair about ten feet from where I sat. As he continued his
conversation, I learned that he had a Facebook page when he said, “A lot of
people clicked like on that picture I
posted.”
The loud
talker continued talking and I continued reading, well I took a break to send a
text to my son.
I just found someone who talks louden
that me, while in a quiet place. This is the second time this has happened to
me at the library. Am I being punked?
My son
responded back with, LOL.
I finished
working on my project and left the library before the loud talker could share
any more of his life with me.
Have you
ever had an encounter with a loud talker?
