    A version of this happened to me when I was young. I was lucky enough to be invited to dinner with a famous scientist. I spent a good chunk of time pitching my work (looking for a faculty position). At the end of the night he apologized and said he was sure I was very interesting but he couldn’t hear over the music.

      I absolutely hate places with “background” music that isn’t in the background.

        Restaurants that properly handle noise are awesome. Busy ones can get loud even without music, but if they take steps to address sound reverberation, it can make a huge difference.

        Some places are so loud, employees should be required to wear hearing protection.

          There’s a brewery near me that gets so loud that my ears are ringing when I leave. And they don’t play background music. I don’t go there anymore

            Noise deadening material that isn’t also incredibly flammable is very expensive.

    Watching Messi is like watching real-life magic. Doesn’t even make sense half the time.

          The amount of limbs you have can be a very identifying feature I suppose
