Loud Howards

we all have them in our lives.  they are everywhere.  each and every one of you is more acquainted with at least one Loud Howard than you'd like to be.  they are just loud, loud people because they have nothing to say.

the Scruffledumps next door are just such people.  they're outside right now so that's why i bring up the issue.  so let me outline these creatures to you:

they come in both male and female packaging.  more often than not, their voices typically have a positive correlation between how annoying the voice is, and how loud it is.  they are commonly found in movie theaters, family restaurants, office meetings normal people generally don't go to and enjoy, HOA meetings, and from what i understand, PTA meetings.  another common place for these obnoxious specimens are lines.  especially long lines. they're going to try and make friends with everyone in it, but mostly you.  they're people you don't want to share space, let alone a one-sided, or god forbid two-sided (people will think you really know this person!) conversation with.

but what i've never understood is why it's inappropriate to tell these people to shut it...
