The infamous boomer speaker phone strikes again.
Had to go to my doctor's office to go over recent test results, nothing too unusual. It's a small waiting room, maybe 12 chairs, and 6 boomer age folks already there having a group conversation.
After the first couple gets called back, it lulls into a nice quiet atmosphere. Until the boomer man on crutches and wheezing breath pulls out his cell and begins scrolling with full speakers through music videos, random reaction clips, and that fake robot AI commentary videos. Normal fair until he starts singing along at full volume to his divorced dad rock like it's karaoke night at the neighborhood drink and drive bar.
The remaining boomer couple then pull out their cell phones and begin to watch/play their own music videos, again at full volume. At least they have better taste and play Selena hits. But by now, the cacophony of sound is migraine inducing. And I seriously regret not making this a phone visit.
Please god make me deaf.
