in the town in which I live there is always a table of Mrs. Megaphones that drive anyone within 50 yards away from Starbucks. I am serious there is always at least one in there who is talking on her cell phone like it's a bad connection on a sting-can "phone" setup to the tree-house as well as megaphoning her way through a "conversation" the others at the table. And there there is the cackle of a laugh...gawds i want to finally get everything sold off and out of my hometown for good.
The noise does go in cycles and you learn to live with it...I actually have ear plugs to sit in our Starbucks...without them that place can be near 80db-100db at times because of the construction, it was originally a Boston Market and is an echo chamber.
And don't even get me going on the tables of teens where each has a cellphone conversation going, a conversation going with the table AND an MP3 player in the free ear...hehehe...it really is so over the top it's funny and has SNL skit written all over it. Add to that the fact they are all wired on caffeine and oh boy what fun...so I try and head to the small mom 'n pop coffee house but it's at the other end of town and I am not up to a 2mi walk each way these days...and I refuse to drive just to go have coffee even if it's raining.
