I have turned into a fishwife

I hate it. Just caught myself shrieking at the dds v loudly to "stop shouting"

A "FGS" was thrown in for good measure

I know it has zero impact (shouting at them) and I hate it but seem to do it more and more lately. And I wonder why they shout...

Do I need to read that book? Or any other wise words, please!

Try whispering in their ears, instead. They have to stop shouting to hear what you said!

DisasterArea, thanks for making me feel better

I just hate bloody shouting all the time

And they've inherited the gobby gene, evidently

I want to live in tranquil harmony! I'm taking the piss there, but you get my drift?
