Oh the bells, bells, bells

Posted on | August 19, 2007 | 1 Comment

I went out for coffee at my favourite place yesterday and was quite upset. The music was much louder than usual. I politely asked them to turn it down and was met with a startled look. It never dawned on these people that someone might not like listening to music that makes you want to drill out your eardrums with your fingers.

No the music didn’t go down – I’m going to say something to the manager tomorrow – I go every weekend for a coffee and breakfast. And I want to be able to hear my own thoughts. I pop by on a regular basis throughout the week as well.

Look I’m not asking people to turn all the music off. Just turn the sound down. Do we really need to have music so loud that the customers have to shout at one another? I had to ask the staff to repeat themselves twice because I simply couldn’t hear what they were saying.

And to answer your question: No I don’t like your music. I like peace and quiet. I don’t want to be forced to listen to someone else’s tunes. If I want to listen to music, I’ll pop in my headphones.

Turn your music down. Turn it down, down, down…. I don’t want to have to wear a hearing aid because you are too stupid to realise you have your music up so loud, it’s destroying not only your hearing, but mine as well.

Don’t force me to come over there and put a foot through your speakers.

    I had this same thought at a pizza place last week. My friend and I were trying to have a conversation over the death-metal blaring from the speakers. We just gave up and ate in silence.
