My heartbeat just goes up. It just triggers me so fucking much.

Even talking does’t trigger me that much, it’s something about that phone speaker’s weak crackling sound, I despise that. It’s like the REVERSE of asmr.

    At my last doc’s appointment, some 900 year old Lady was blairing AI Facebook reels at max volume in a crowded waiting room.

    I genuinely believe in most cases its a clear indication of genuine cognitive dysfunction.

      In the waiting room is the worst. I’m considering switching to a different doctor because of this. It’s a psych office, and some lady was blaring some religious podcast or something in the waiting room. I was trying to read and couldn’t concentrate. I asked if she had headphones, but was ignored. I brought it up to the receptionist and he shrugged. Even the psych that saw me was like, “Oh well, can’t do anything about it.” Uh, yeah you can. It’s your office, right? If you want a quiet, peaceful waiting room, you can totally enforce that.

      People can listen to their own stuff if they want, but to subject everyone else to it is another matter. If hearing about Jesus or playing music makes you happy, great! Headphones are available cheap at the drug store down the street.
