High Pitched Giggling

Nothing is squeal-worthy.  When you're across the room and I can feel the vibrations dancing on my ear drum from your witch cackle, we have a problem here.

Look, everyone enjoys a good laugh. I'm a belly laugher myself. But an owl screech is borderline obnoxious and it takes quite a bit of my own resolve to keep me from screaming right back at you.

Not only does the shrillness of your voice hit my face like a fucking brick, but it says something particular about what you're trying to achieve. Did you really find that hilarious? Or is it rather that no one is looking at you, and loud noises are your only means of drawing attention to yourself?

I'm not trying to be a Grumpy Gus over here in my cone of silence, and I certainly don't hold a Holier-Than-Though attitude. I'm just a little scared of being deaf before I turn thirty.

  1. I must say, I agree. I think that it's fine for everyone to have a good laugh, I'm a laugher too. But the squealing, in a way, really does sound like a demand for attention rather than a true laugh. But then again, who's to know for sure however I can definitely relate :)

  2. This is so true, some people really go overboard with the squealing. Im a really constant laugher, but I laugh becuase its funny. If I started squealing it would be my way of drawing attention to myself. Thats a whole other issue though. Who knows though, maybe a squeal is part of their legitimate laugh. Good work !

  3. Well it depends who the person is and why they're laughing. I will either,

    1. Laugh with them.
    2. Restrain myself from punching them in the face.

    But really it all depends on whether you look annoying or not.

  4. Oh my goodness. Could not agree more. You've probably noticed by now that I'm a fairly angry person, and this is definitely one of my pet peeves. Some people just need to be quiet sometimes. Stop asking questions that have already been answered nine times, and stop cackling.

    Not gonna lie, I laugh like a crazy person, and it's probably obnoxious to a lot of people, but it's legitimately just my laugh, and I cannot control it. So if these ridiculous girls can't help shrieking, then sure, I can relate. But if not? Shhhh.
