WARNING: TMI FOR REAL!!! STOP NOW IF SQUEAMISH.
But I just have to get this off my chest. Eeew, no pun intended.
I work as an in-home assistant for elderly and disabled people. One of my clients is an older woman who is just big all over: tall, very overweight, big-boned, square jawed. She knows that I don’t watch broadcast television at all, and that I find a blaring TV kind of disrupts my concentration when I’m trying to work efficiently.
Normally, she listens to it at a high-normal volume, within the range of tolerable. However, she has this thing she does that just frikkin sucks. She will turn the TV up really really loud, knowing that I will come into the room to ask her to turn it down –
:eek:And see her with no underwear and her dress pulled ALL THE WAY UP!:eek:
In case you’re wondering, no her door isn’t shut to knock on. “It’s too hot” in there to shut it. In the winter, “it’s too cold in there.”
I know it’s on purpose because the volume will be normal for hours and then suddenly go up. The worst part is, it’s infrequent enough that I seem to fall for it every time. Aaargh.
