First - that's hardly yelling - more like a slightly raised voice.

Second - I don't think people can yell in multiple voices simultaneously...and then change to chipmunk voices without taking a hit of helium first.

That video seems more like the listener is having flashbacks or something.

But seriously, I'd ignore it.

Or say this:

... the calmer I get.

Drives 'em bonkers. Of course that is my methodology for anyone yelling at me.

One of the great advantages of old age.

I tell them I can't hear them and ask for them to say it louder. Again and again.


I also do this to Jehovah Witnesses.

I've been dating a younger woman. She's 69 and rather good at tennis.

Shiksa*, though. So we can't get serious.

My hearing is going as I get older and so I can't hear the women complaining spectrum anymore, life is great.

Drives people up the wall if they think your getting pleasure out of their meltdown. Had to duck a few punches but it's what you do when you join Team Handsome.
