Have you ever spent time with somebody who gets all wound up over the smallest things? Being around someone who is angry and overreacts can suck the fun out of any situation, you find yourself thinking I didn’t sign up for this.
You expect people of a certain age to be in control of their emotions and act appropriately instead of lashing out at others.
I know someone who sensitive to loud noises, and he gets really angry when people drop things and are noisy. The people who spend time with Darren think he is overreacting, but he thinks he is justified by telling people to be quiet. Darren should put in a pair of earplugs and stop expecting people to cater to his special needs, after all, it’s not like he owns the library or the coffee shop.
Darren is self-employed and often works on his online business in coffee shops and in the workroom/quiet room at the library. Somebody working in the quiet room started typing very loudly, and Darren kept turning around and giving them the evil eye and told the girl to be quiet. For real? Darren, get over yourself!
The comebacks below will let the offender know they need to get their act together and calm down.

Better to keep your mouth shut and have people think your a fool, than to open it all and remove all doubts.
My apologies to Honest Abe
That’s a stupid way to live. Now I know to never take advice from you.
I sing a LOT and sometimes people say I’m bad so here’s mine: Too bad you can’t swallow mucacal.ly so you can carry a tune. Here’s a quarter. Buy yourself a singing voice. Oh, I forgot. Tenacity is expensive. But at least I got to pay for it!
It’s not a show, it’s a book! I suggest reading it, it’s really good!
