To think that people should keep their voice down to a reasonable volume in public

And when it comes to coffee places, or quiet lounge type establishments the offenders are mostly women 😩
In every group there seems to be a lady that almost screams when laughing, or has an overly high pitched voice shouting over everyone - constantly. Or when two groups of younger women are bumping into each other there is this out of control scream - why, I only want to know why.
Yes, I am writing this while sitting in a cosy brunch place, outside, surrounded by nature, all tables occupied and of course there is that one table with a lady who laughs like crazy screaming to every single sentence the other person at her table is uttering and then she shouts her responses in a high pitch voice, still barely catching her breath screaming...
Many guests are glancing in her direction as she screams - she minds her own business (good for her I guess 😄).
But does this bother people, or just those of us with lack of sleep perhaps 😅
How come people enjoy being the loudest...

My child seems to have been blessed with the Brian Blessed volume control. Thankfully mainly it's at home as she is selectively mute outside of the house! Maybe these people are the same.

I could have written this. Yesterday in a small coffee shop two girls chatting with a lot of effing too.

Yes. But won't happen.

Yes it does make me cringe but I try to remember that It's mostly fake and put on, under all that facade there is probably a very insecure person hiding.
