Open your fucking mouth when you talk. Good lord.

I'm so tired of people coming up to me, mumbling, and then staring at me like I'm weird when I cannot interpret what they've just said. It won't kill you to make an attempt talk like a normal human being. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_nono.gif

I'm not used to raising my voice. :/ If I do, everyone thinks I'm angry. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

I know what you mean. But I tend to just say: "Could you please repeat that," until they reach the point where they scream it at me. Fun way to make people angry.

pickles, cheese, extra pickles, cheese, some more cheese, pickles, I want my pickles...

I totally understand what you mean, however:

People could have problems with their jaw.
Don't realize they're talking so low.
Shy, nervous, etc. etc.

But the remaining 90% of people seriously do need to speak up, I had to deal with so much at the Theatre. ;-;

When I play games, I wear my headset on my left ear because I have almost no hearing ability in my right ear. Then my brother mumbles something at me FROM UPSTAIRS and gets pissed when I don't even hear him, much less understand.

Same thing with my mom, only she doesn't mumble. She just YELLS FROM THE TOP FLOOR OF THE HOUSE (my room's in the basement).

I agree with you on that one though there are some people that choice to mumble for no reason what so ever.

I understand that there are people that for whatever reason have problems that prevent them from speaking normally.

This rant is just directed at the jackasses that are too incompetent and lazy to open their mouths and speak properly.
