It’s why I never frequent pubs. Between the music blasting and the people shouting to be heard, it’s intolerable to me. I think I got spoiled by living in Europe for so many years. It was cultural shock returning to the states, mainly because of the noise level in restaurants and the like. It’s been years, but it still really bothers me how people can air the most intimate details of their lives at full volume.
