Give me a crying baby in a restaurant ANYDAY over the lady
at the table next to me. :eyes:

She had the loudest, most braying laugh I have ever heard. She laughed so hard and so loud at one point, that the elderly woman behind her jumped and spilled her coffee.

At least babies are small enough to smother.

1. Aaahahahaha...
you are so bad. :D

I would have thrown food at her. Not really. I'd just comment in an audible voice about loud, annoying laughs. Because I'm passive aggressive that way. Cowardly, you know.

3. It was so startling, I couldn't believe it.
Ar first, I thought perhaps she had a hearing problem, but she was leaning across the table whispering with her tablemate quite a bit inbetween the braying.

It was unreal. The poor woman behind her. I hope her heart didn't take a hit.

4. Well if that elderly woman decided to make her own dinner instead of
living off the early bird special and making the lives of the waitstaff a living hell, I'd empathize.

But screw that! She was asking for it.

7. I would have preferred tasering her to get her to STFU.
Even BabyMidlo, who can talk paint off a car, was shocked.

9. Then she'd bray "don't tase me, bro!" and guffaw loudly for minutes on end
THAT would suck.

11. I was in a play once, and there was a woman in the audience
whose laugh sounded like an angry donkey. It was something.

12. Hey at least you don't have to hear that all the time...
There is someone in an office accross the hallway that has the LOUDEST voice..I know all her health/vacation/personal issues...without really wanting to. I suppose I could shut my door (which she does with a SLAM when we talk in here) but it seems anti-social.
One day I listened to her have a conversation about her boobs..quite fascinating...:eyes:

13. How about those people in cube farms that call someone
on speakerphone who is only 10 feet away who also answers over the speaker phone.

14. yeah thats pretty annoying too.
Whats funny is even though my building is HUGH, people tend to go to the persons office/cubicle rather than call on the phone...Only time I do it, is if I'm in the lab (past the airlock) and I NEVER use speaker..Thats just rude.
