can't hear for shit.
Mr Pipi is like this. He always thinks he knows what I'm about to say. He's usually wrong. Often talks over me. I want to hit him.
In addition, he's losing his hearing. I told him he may need a hearing aid and his answer was that he will NEVER get one. Ever.
OK so yesterday we're in town for Sunday breakfast at our usual little spot. It gets a little noisy and he can't hear properly. The owner, who is about the same age, can't hear properly. A summer resident we are friendly with comes in...she needs to lip read while listening. Then one of our friends, a lady of about 80, comes in, and she is losing her hearing also.
OMG.
A room full of hard of hearing elders. Things can get pretty....interesting
