Exactly.

If I don't know that I can sleep for another 3h plus, I can't fall asleep again because I constantly feel like I have to get up in 10 minutes anyway. So I sleep better if I know what time it is.

You can get a portable washing machine and air dry with racks. Annoying for washing sheets but otherwise handy.

I purposely turn the radio up when I hear sounds. If I can’t hear it it’s not happening.

I thought it was supposed to be about checking for tinnitus, but that wouldn't make sense why for a car specifically.

The down side to it is that it swaps the date you can expect a check from the first week of the month to the second week. So it's a little bit before I feel like I can relax and spend the "extra"

This just sounds like a hilarious thing to do. If one of my friends are on the phone I’ll just act like they are talking to me and I will just respond to them what they are saying and they absolutely hate it xD

Yeah how about just don’t engage with the obviously rude person. Rude people will probably continue to be rude when confronted

I mean, there are people who are talking loudly over speakerphone who are just kind of clueless. There are also people who are intentionally doing it to show other people that they don't give a shit about them. I was on a train with someone who asked one of those guys to keep it down, and for a second I swear to god I thought I was about to see a murder. We all fled the car at the next stop. Please be careful out there.

Valid critique. I live in the US. At this point merely going outside to check the mail risks you getting shot.

Honestly, I think people do this more and more because they see people on reality TV do it, not realizing they only do it so the show can listen in. It's literally the point for viewers to hear the phone call... I think when more folks put this together (not hopefully cause people are stupid) we'll see this less.
