If the subject didn't tell you of my bad mood at the time of writing this, then you will certainly know at the end of this post :d.
I've been living my grandparents for the 20 years I've been on this earth, and they still keep moaning and commenting at the slightest things.
What things you may ask?
Well, have you ever been in a situation where you're playing an audio game happily minding your own business, and people come up to you and say: Ehh, do you know there's nothing on your screen?
Why is your computer making those noises?
Turn that down or put headphones on please!
That last one is my worst.
Take today for example, people were sorting things out in the kitchen making lots of noise moving things around.
Naturally it got to the point where I couldn't hear my laptop, as I was with them at the time, and I like to be sociable whilst I game.
And no, gaming doesn't make you as anti-social as older generation people make it out to be
But getting to the point, I turned my laptop up to an audible level, around 50% volume give or take.
30 seconds later I had my first negative comment: Isn't that rather loud and noisy?
My reply was that I couldn't hear my laptop because you are doing your things and I am doing mine, that I didn't plan on keeping at said noise level forever, and that I need to hear because I can't see, obviously!
It's not the last time this has happened, and it probably won't be.
I know it's just one of the things in life that I'll have to get on with, but it's the affect on my confidence that annoys me.
There's even been times where I higher up my laptop or device when there's an advert break on the TV, and I get told to wear headphones or turn it off, and when I argue my case that I don't want to wear them and I'm just highering it up for a bit, they just start getting all defensive although I don't mean to cause any arguments.
I just wish people had the decency to take my blindness into account. I also have autistic features, so I'm not a big fan of loud noises.
If anybody wishes to contribute their thoughts to this almost pointless topic, please feel free
Apologies for the length of this ridiculously long post, and an early merry Christmas to everyone! !
