Maybe the volume too loud on the background music and the dialogue too quiet IS the conspiracy!

It bothers me too DQ. I thought the Mothman Conspiracy was really bad about that. The music and sound effects are too loud and you still can't hear the dialogue.
I think you mean Mothman Prophecies
That's it! That's pretty bad considering I read the book too.

What I hate is inviting your friends over to your house and they don't pick up after themselves or stop their heathen children from running crazy all over the place! For goodness sakes, if you finish your drink THROW your stinking cup in the trash!!! Don't just leave it where you sit!!! I'm the hostess not the maid and if you were at home you wouldn't be doing that! And put a leash on your kids...If they were mine I'd be embarrassed! Ok...I'm done now. And no, I'm never inviting anyone over ever again. Especially if they have kids.

It's amazing what some people let their kids do out in public. And just because they have learned to ignore their heathens doesn't mean I have. I'm trying to enjoy dinner and some kids is bawling and throwing a fit. For Pete's sake, take that crying kid outta here. Some of us are trying to enjoy our dinner that is outrageously overpriced.

My husband would rather see 'Screaming Children' and 'No Screaming Children' sections. I know when my son was small we would take him out of the restaurant in a heartbeat if he got too noisy.

I'm not sure any restuarants in Oregon have smoking sections anymore...you just get stuck in the screaming kids section all the time!!!
That's it! I'm moving back to Tennessee!

My neighbor here in the cube farm works every afternoon. She comes in, and within 15 minutes she starts eating, which it seems she pretty much does for the rest of the afternoon. First it's pretzels, then apples, then crackers, then maybe a banana, with lots and lots of water (and burping). What I hear is: crunch, crunch, munch, munch, burb, paper crackling, burp, crunch, munch, etc, etc, etc..... I've learned to wait until she gets here before I go to lunch. If I have something to do away from my desk, I do it after she gets here. Yesterday, I was trying to concentrate on a worksheet, and she just went on and on and on. It is so annoying!

Sounds like she is in the wrong line of work. She is bored with her job, and eats all the time for something to do. She needs a job that keeps her hands busy, so she can't be constantly eating. Put her on the proof machine! 
If she's good looking, have her call me -- I'll give her a job that keeps her hands busy.

I share a wall with the men's restroom and there are no "smell" filters. It infiltrates my office and latches onto my nostrils til I am gagging.  Do I win???
