Do you remember on Seinfeld when Kramer was dating the low talker? And then poor Jerry ended up wearing the Puffy Shirt on the Today Show?
I am living that shit.
Yesterday I had a low talker on the phone.
I really thought it was me because of my hearing loss, so I held the headset on my ear tightly. I still could only hear a few words.
OH MY GOD.
This is what I heard, “meoshoweoinsdlfkj d chip slkdjflskda;fs today.
Or so I thought anyway.
I told her I couldn’t hear her and then asked for her to hold on because I was going to try to go to the receiver. No better.
So I asked if she could hear me. She said yes.....I think.
I was now in a full blown panic and thought I had lost my hearing completely.
I told her I could see her number and would call her back.
I had no idea if she heard me or if she even responded, I just hung up.
Then the phone rang before I could call her back.
I could hear this person perfectly which gave me a sigh of relief.
When done I called the low talker back.
I heard, ssdfoafdaodowiesy CHIP werdskjdfldajfoaasya.
I asked if she could yell for me because for the love of God I could not hear her.
She yelled and I heard a tiny voice say, I need to have a chip repaired. Or I thought I did.
It was a very soft whisper.
I was straining!!
I finally said I am having a very difficult time hearing you ma’am, could we possibly communicate via email otherwise I don’t think I can help you.
So that is what we did.
Then she writes and tells me that everyone tells her that they can’t hear her and some people just hang up on her.
FOR THE LOVE OF HUMANITY THEN SPEAK UP YOU TWAT!!
I envisioned sending Gary or Rick into God knows what situation you know?
Lordy, how I hate people. I know, I know....as Grandma would say, going to hell in a hand basket.

LOL, talking on the phone is so much fun.
My spousal unit is compensating for her. I swear, if my wife talked any louder on the phone she wouldn't need one at all - just open the window!
Oh Brian, I prefer those - I can put them on speaker and I don't fret I am going crazy. Rick talks loudly on the phone too and when he hangs up I always tell him it's not a string and a can, he can use his indoor voice.
