Anyone else have an adult friend who absolutely must make the full sound effect of every single thing when telling a story,no matter who's around

sounds funny, def not something to get uptight about

Ask him for the high level overview summary and not the detail.

People like that make life more fun. Who cares what other people think about it, if he is your friend, be his friend.

Michael winslow?

The people telling you who cares don’t listen to them. I can’t stand it when people act like this.. one thing when we were kids but in 30s cmon. Also adults are acting more and more chimdish. I’m convinced not having families at a normal age and reproducing is making people mentally stunted and juvenile.

Dang it, kind of like your avatar! It's jarring dude. I'm sorry. Ok maybe it's my own fault but other people take notice. And often.

Bet you are the life of the party!

OP, why don't you punch him in the nose when he does that? Teach him a lesson.

That's freaking funny but definitely annoying. I'm the opposite.

I don't do the sounds, but I'm a creative type person and always have to give all the details. I talk with my hands and face too. But I'm sicilian so that might be part of it. For me it's passion and wanting to engage you.

But I definitely don't make all the sound effects and be loud about it. That's hilarious

You have to understand what it's like being in an unwilling situation (the story not the dude) being subjected to strange noises at full volume for an extended period of time. It's weird dude. Maybe it's my fault but it's like you begin to lose touch with reality. I literally can't even follow the story if its long enough with enough "sound worthy" elements he has to replicate for me.

And when you tell him hey mate, you're being loud haha all casual like he'll act offended and shut down like I'm the bad guy. I dont know dude. It's not that I don't want to hear him talk I just wish he actually would for once without all the noise. I know what crap sounds like I don't need a recreation of it every single moment so I don't forget

Nothing wrong with how you're feeling at all. Your friend can't read the room and probably is lacking in either the empathy department, or has some social/emotional short comings. Maybe even mental illness.


Kinda like my coworker helping me yesterday (HVAC, we were in a customer's house) with very very religious clients. Dude burned himself with his own torch and goes "God damnit!!" Yeah I'm sure they're going to call us back buddy. Because you couldn't turn off your fucking lizard brain and keep your shit cool, probably lost a customer for life.

I'm sure he didn't even realize it. And honestly, what got me through being embarrassed about it was knowing I didn't do it.

Growing up with a dad that has a mild form of social autism I had to go through situations with him in public a lot. The best thing you can do is try not to let that anger cloud your own judgement, and understand that is just how the person is. No amount of being mad is going to change that. Either stick it out, and remain friends, or don't put yourself into a situation where you are the one always compromised or feeling embarrassed, while the village idiot makes pew pew noises at Applebee's.

Oh ya because you need airplane noises and whistles like the guy in police academy to tell a joke.

U have way too much time on your hands. Some friend!

I'm thinking...

You to go frolicking more OP


Thread: I like to vacation alone in London. And when I'm there I like to go frolicking, all around Sloan Square
