Not the case here at all...picture two people standing four feet apart in theitchen, with cabinet in between them. One (me) is emptying the dishwasher, and was asked where some particular plastic containers (not the ones I was putting away in the bottom drawer) are.
At the time I was asked, my head was almost at floor level. Since I had earlier been hurried to the point that I asked for an extra thirty seconds to make a traverse through the hallway into the dining room, I snapped to, and anwered immediately. This triggered the problem of him not able to read my lips, because I was fidgeting with lids and bowls down low.
I guess the combination of rising up and speaking louder, with no barrier in between us, was more volume all at once. I certainly wasn't "yelling".
I agree with you that looking away while speaking is not polite. Woould you agree that askgin a person who is already engaged in a task a question doesn't mean that they need to stop in the middle of it, when getting the answer isn't an emergency?
We are both fighting sinus problems right now, and the damned crackheads have made it impossible to get any of the pseudoephedrine that we have both realied upon for decades to knock that out. We are both toppling over from lack of balance, can't hear due to fluid in our ears, and are dealing with headaches, all of which we used to knock out with a cheap OTC pill.
The stupid part is, we ahve some, and are hoarding it like it is going ot keep forever. Sort of like putting the good china away and never taking it out to enjoy. I have just informed Mike that I am taking a dose this morning, and he should, too.
My right eardrum is pounding with my pulse right now, and I need to climb a ladder this morning, to store top pantry shelves, so I can call that cleanup finished. With a good shot of speed, I ought to get a lot done in a little while.
