I am very good at blocking out whatever is happening around me. Usually someone will have to yell my name to get me to come out of the story.
I've got a gal at work that lunches at the same time as me and we both like to sit and read our Kindles, but if there get to be too many people in the cafateria, she packs up and leaves. She can't take it. Lately she's taken to wearing noise canceling headphones with no music. She says it pretty much mutes everyone out and as a bonus, if people think she's listening to music, they won't bother her.
