#047 Breaking Silence With Sounds

Imagine you're having a telephone conversation with someone (anyone). Now imagine you ask that person to locate something (anything) not within their immediate sight. If that person makes some kind of sound or series of sounds while they’re looking for that object, that annoys the hell out of me.

Why can’t you just search for that object in silence?? WHY must you make noise to pass the time or break the silence? I can hold the line and wait in silence while you look for the object and the silence doesn’t bother me, nor should it bother you!

Me: “Hey, do you have that ticket I gave you?”
You: “Yeah, uhhhh….. doot-d-doo-doot-doot-doo…… yeah, here it is!”

Please DO NOT – I repeat – DO NOT make noise while you are looking for something. Just TELL ME you’re looking for it; chances are, I can probably hear you rustling around for it anyways.
