I work in a small office - just me, three other women, and the boss, also female. One of my coworkers is unbearably loud, and seemingly oblivious to how she comes across to others. I would quote Robert Burns
"O, wad some Power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as others see us!"
but I'm certain it would go right over her head.
Anyway, within the course of one morning we've been treated to the following gems, delivered at full volume from a distance of 6 feet, generally while I've been on the phone to clients:
"I'm going to be one of those 90-year-old ladies who everyone says has perfect skin, because my skin just doesn't get wrinkles" and "my massage therapist says I should have been a make-up artist because my make-up is so pretty" and finally telling one of the other women, after she said her brother-in-law had died (the third family member in 12 months) that her family must be cursed.
We have variations of this every day 🙄. Would it be unreasonable to obtain a vuvuzela and blow it every time she opens her mouth?
