My god.
I fairly shouted at the the loud kids in the Brass last night but, honestly, it’s just RUDE when there are so many people trying to hear the questions and these persons are just standing there barking and yelling and wailing at each other, seemingly oblivious to how hard they’re making it for everyone else to hear the questions.
Don’t get me wrong, I see the folk having a great night and it’s good to see them having fun. I’m no killjoy. But the selfish bit is the complete lack of awareness of what’s going on around.
People are trying to listen to the questions.
Thing is, when you speak to these audio generators individually, they’re usually lovely. Nice people. But they’ve missed the bit of their education where you take any notice whatsoever of the needs of others.
Is this the continual rise of the cult individualism? Is it a case of “I’m the only one who matters”? Are other people in the pub simply NPCs?
I don’t know. All I know is that I must have seemed quite the grumpy old foge when I laid into them.
I can’t do it all though. Feel free to take action yourselves and, if you can’t hear the questions, ask people to shut up. Be polite, but do ask them.
