To not want to be sat near loud cackling women

[Ferretmad2]

What is it with groups of loud, cackling women these days? Third time I’ve eaten out recently and next to a table full of shouty, cackling women who seem to be in a contest of who can cackle the loudest. Doesn’t seem to matter whether it’s a posh place or not. I’m fed up of having to be sat near them whilst waiting for my food. Can’t move as we are in a table of 7. My three autistic children are completely silent! Feel like following my eldest child’s example and getting noise cancelling AirPods.

I’m sorry @delamore, why exactly would you like me to fuck off dear?

Nothing worse than being at a table next to someone channeling Janice from Friends

OP said they are silent, it's in her post.

Name change fail OP?

She said her children were silent, not her entire party of 7

She said her table are silent and others are too loud. In her opening post.

The horror of people having fun in a social situation. Rather that than witness a table (half) full of kids with ear pods in....

Nobody is saying that specifically women shouldn't laugh or enjoy themselves though, more that nobody should be making so much noise that other diners cannot hold a conversation at their own table.

OP said her children are autistic, which is presumably why they are wearing ear pods.

Why would children with ear pods disturb you anyway? At least assuming that you can’t hear tinny music from them.

I've a acquaintance like this and it's mortifying. I've seen other diners look over at her when we are out in a group of 5, she's the only one being loud and the more she's had to drink the louder she gets.

Crikey, I'm surprised that 55% of posters think that sitting next to a table full of cackling women is OK. I would hate it. I hate noisy places.

We once left a pub after one drink and ended up going home for a takeaway instead of eating at the pub because it was so noisy. You couldn't even hear yourself think.

I suppose "Cackling Karens" would have caused even more opprobrium...

Using the term cackling is not the same as labelling someone a Karen.

What's the difference? Both groups are being an annoyance to those wanting to be in a civilised environment.

I have Asperger’s but the three adults that we were sat with are neurotypical and they also hated the noise. I can’t get earbuds or ear plugs to stay in my ears otherwise I would but then I wouldn’t be able to hear my children, people I’m with or the servers.

Cackling? Offensive much… how are women ever going to get equality when other women tear them down for the slightest thing…?

I think it’s forced -they are letting everyone and their actual friends see and hear that they are ‘great fun’.
Nothing is that funny.
A group were also singing loudly -the same few lines of a song. This was on the train. At 9.30am.

One child had AirPod pros in, can’t hear a thing from them! He really struggles with noise. I would never begrudge him having them.

I’ve got different names on my phone and laptop! I can’t remember the password from the laptop one.

There is a hell of a lot of difference between laughing, which is fine, and cackling which isn't, and yes, some groups women do cackle.

I'm pretty sure I'm NT but when I'm with other people in a pub I like to hear what they are saying, and I can't hear other people when the background noise is too loud.

She's entitled to be annoyed if she likes though.

I’m not surprised. It explains a lot about behaviour you see when out and about!

Yeah this. Can't stand it.

Ok. Mind, Inwas in one in Cardiff on the weekend! Tacky and lots of v loud Cardiffians! Our group was a mixture of South Walians! 🤣
