Subject: RE: BS: NOISE...Is It Just Me???
Our world is being polluted with unnecessary noise and it is getting much worse. I believe it is making us sick.
Recently at a grocery store I said to the clerk, "Will you please turn that damned racket down"? It was that ubiquitous screeching that tries to pass for music that invades our senses everywhere we go. He said, "Most people like it, some even sing along, they find it soothing!"
I said to him, "It has the opposite effect on me, it makes me want to break things or hurt someone."
He said, "Well, we can't have that." he turned it off.

Don't let them annoy you, complain, loudly!
