answer:When cellphones first arrived on the scene, it really irritated me for a person to talk so loud, that it interferred with my personal space. I did not want to hear their personal business or domestic fights they were having. Many times, I would approach the loud talker and ask them to lower thier voice or move to another location. After about four years, this does not bother me near as much as before. I just turn off my hearing aids and smile.
