At work. Trying to concentrate. All I can hear is the cackling, shrieky, noisy gaggle of people and that's over my headphones playing some serious technical death metal.
I feel like shouting, "Shut the **** up! Did nobody teach you about indoor voices?!?!"
...but it's probably just me, my autobotism and my hyperaucusis / misophonia.
Can anyone relate?
I completely understand! It's so un-nerving! My Aspie grandkid calls it "unnecessary noise", which is a great explanation! Unnecessary noise makes my skin crawl and feel like doing violence! My worst things are boom-boom music (of any gendre) from passing cars and gum! I find myself wishing ill on the guy that invented gum! Human beings are rude, selfish, and evil. How about the canned laughter on some TV shows. I won't watch them...hate that, too. Sorry you have to work in that environment. It helps to know others here at least understand.
