Have you ever been walking throughout one of the parks, or waiting in one of the queues, and had another guest completely drown out the entire area with their ability to vocally project? I'm not talking about small children, tour groups, cheerleader groups, or large masses of people. (We've already had a multitude of threads on that subject). I'm talking about one or two individuals who can drown out an entire room due to either not knowing their own vocal strength, or simply not caring.
I'll never forget one time we were waiting in line for Peter Pan's Flight. There was this woman in her mid-40's (just a guess) talking to her husband while in line. Let me rephrase: She was TALKING TO HER HUSBAND WHILE IN LINE, AND EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS NOWHERE NEAR OUR POSITION IN THE QUEUE, HER CONVERSATION ALONE WAS DROWNING OUT EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE BUILDING IT SEEMED. You get the picture.
Granted, some people may be hearing impaired, and unable to realize how they sound. For that I give a pass. But the good majority have no physical handicap, and just project like they're performing at the opera. And it's not always dignified conversation they are sharing with the world. Once in a store (not at Disney), I overheard a man 3 aisles over talking aloud to his wife about something that should pretty much stay between he & his doctor.
Do these people even realize they're sharing their life stories aloud where many other ears can hear them (whether they want to or not)?
What experiences, if any, have you had with those individuals blessed with the gift of extreme vocal projectile while at the parks? And if you or your spouse happen to be one of those individuals...TURN DOWN THE VOLUME WHILE IN PUBLIC! -Thank you.
