    (Hold on, Karen, can't you see I'm on the phone.  I'll answer you when I'm finished. Now hush, shhhhhhh!)

    Anyway, where was I?  Oh that?  Just Karen interrupting me. So, back to my story: there I was at the International Tilde-Lovers' Monthly Convention, and just as I was about to give my speech . . .

    Hello?  Hello?  Can you hear me?  I think something happened to the phone line. Hello?  I still haven't told you about my all-expense paid shopping spree at Tilde Emporium.  Hello, are you still there?

  • Nope. It happens all the time on the bus, and it's usually the younger ones.

  • I'm not talking about the "annoyers," I'm talking about the "annoyed."
    Sometimes ... as we get older, we start to lose our tolerance.  Maybe not you, but some of us. :)

  • Some of the people I ride the bus with have very annoying voices, and they are the ones you can hear above everyone else. People who talk loudly don't bother me.....but some of their voices are like nails on a chalkboard.

    The loud is what makes the sound annoying.
