Scream and Shout

“Waaaahh!” screams the two year old behind you. Meanwhile, the 80 year old who’s sitting across the aisle from you is snoring so hard you think his heart might stop. Am I the only one who gets bothered when people are loud on airplanes, busses, trains, and other public transportation?

I think people should try harder to keep quiet in public transportation. I get it if you have a sleeping disorder and snore when you sleep. But I don’t think it’s necessary to scream your order to the flight attendant and alarm the entire flight.

Just. Be. Quiet.

One time I was on an airplane and the flight was very late and trying to get some sleep. I figured it wouldn’t be too hard since I was exhausted. However the man sitting across the aisle from me thought differently. He put on his headphones and threw his own jam session. Needless to say I didn’t get the sleep my body craved.

I really don’t understand why people use such loud voices on public transportation. The person right next to you can hear you just fine. “How much longer, daddy?” doesn’t need to be screamed. Daddy can’t afford hearing aids billy.

No plane needs a Billy. Or a snorer. Or a singer.

Its very hard to stay calm when people are bursting your eardrums. But thats why we have headphones.

If you are in fact one of these loud people. I have a few questions for you. What gives you the urge to be so loud? Why do you think you’re not bothering others. And last but not least do you know the person who you’re screaming to could hear you fine if you used an inside voice?

I’m not saying it’s horrible to be a little loud once in a while, but don’t constantly shout. I bet most of the people who are loud on airplanes would stop if they heard themselves. So, if you do find yourself being loud on planes, take a few deep breaths, and turn your volume down.
