Another one just came to me. Someone who talks loudly. Like when I'm out at a restaurant or something like that, I don't like our conversations to be loud enough for others to hear. I want my privacy, and I don't want to annoy others. Every time my SO and I go out, there is always, ALWAYS, at least one person seated near us who you can hear yakking the entire time (and usually nonstop, but that's a different subject).

Yes. Someone who always talks loudly is either oblivious to other people and their needs, or wants to be the center of attention. Neither one is appealing.

It always makes me wonder what the other person is thinking. Sometimes you can only hear the loud talker and never even hear the other person at all the entire time they're there. You just hear this one-sided conversation. It's a little bizarre.
I wonder if loud talkers have partial hearing loss?
I'm pretty sure I've damaged my ears from going to so many loud concerts, and I recall the last time I went to one, the next morning I was in the kitchen making coffee and my husband came to talk to me and I apparently shouted whatever response, loud enough that he flinched. I honestly did not realize my voice was raised at all, my ears were still just kind of ringing from the previous night's abuse.
It isn't usually a problem. Yet. I have a feeling that I will regret not doing more to protect my hearing, one day, though.

There must be quite a few of them out there, then, because it never fails. lol

When I used to hear about people wearing ear plugs to concerts, I would wonder what's the point of going, then? I can see it more now. I've gone to a lot of loud concerts, too, but as far as I know, I'm okay. I do know that many sounds and noises seem loud to me when others don't seem to notice them. Maybe that's the source of my problem with loud talkers, although Mr. Sea is always bothered by them, too. We've posted before about it enough times.

Certainly among recreational shooters of a certain age before proper hearing protection was even available, yeah, it's quite common. And people of a certain age who have just lost some hearing acuity from whatever, loud cars/bikes, loud airplanes, playing in bands, hearing bands up close, just playing music too loud.
Take care of what hearing you have left!
