For those who don't know, I work at an Optometrists office.
Every now and then, there will be a patient who will come in with a problem or a question. They will come up to the front desk, and talk so loud, that I'm sure the patients in the exam rooms can all hear. It's not that they are shouting or angry, they just feel the need to talk really loud. Or sometimes we will have the person in the waiting area answer their phone, and speak so loud, not realizing (or not caring) that we can all hear. It's disrupting to us at the front desk, to others in the waiting area, and those patients looking at glasses.
It bothers me so much. I know that some of the elderly people talk loud because they can't hear as well, but other people....... sometimes I just want to tell them to shhh!
Maybe they were never taught how to use their inside voices.
