Would you PLEASE just stop talking!

I don't like to hear people talking a lot in dressing rooms at stores. It's usually a couple of women in separate stalls who are carrying on a very loud conversation. If it is related at all to shopping, clothing they're trying on, fit, etc, it doesn't bug me. But usually it is just random discussion and gossip or whining about how much they hate their bodies.

Other times, it's moms getting on to their kids for whining and I get that sometimes maybe you will find yourself really needing a new (insert item of clothing) and have to bring the child with you but it usually sounds like the kid has been through 5 hours of mall time and is at their breaking point.

I talk all day at work with clients, so after work I need quiet to recharge. I chit chat here and there at the gym, but no long conversations. Most of the time it doesn't bother me, but some days people talking the entire time they are on the treadmill or doing whatever cardio with someone is annoying, but I know they are there to workout and probably enjoy chatting with their partner.

I'm recently single, however, and I cannot express how lovely it is to go home to a quiet, peaceful house with no one yakking non-stop!

My boss has the absolutely awful habit of waiting until I am eating lunch and then deciding to chat at me. I am eating lunch - leave me alone. I told him it was annoying and he kept forgetting that he was being annoying.

So last week I bought one of the hook & eye lock things and installed it on the outside of his office door. He hasn't bothered me even once this week.

My eight-year-old is adorable and funny...but he doesn't shut up for a minute. Road trips...heck even short drives...are a nightmare. He does not believe in dead air. One of his friends is just as talkative as he is, so the two of them together is enough to make your head explode. But if he's with a quieter friend, he is happy to do all the talking. Even if he has a game to play or movie to watch in the car, he goes on and on, either yelling at the screen or delivering a running commentary on whatever is on the screen.

I put my finger on front of my lips and make the shhhh sound.
If that doesn't work, I just refuse to acknowledge them until they shut up.

My lovely husband decides to have these deep, intellectual conversations right when I’m about to fall asleep. He’s lucky he’s cute...

Talking during a movie irritates the heck out of me. And sometimes when members at work say things they think make them sound funny (“Giving away any free money today?” “Who’s going to fight over me?” OHOHOHOHOHO) I kind of want to slap them in the mouth. ...I realize I must come off as a b!tch at times, I’m really not. I’m just severely introverted.

Enjoy the noise. .... it won't last forever.
