And They Won't Stop Talking

There can always be a problem with people. For instance, they talk. And they tell you things. And they tell each other things. And they demand you to hear them.

That is the problem.

The big problem comes when they all get together and start swearing. The conversation diminishes in intellectual content at once, the words dissolve, adn all you can hear are long lists of swear words everywhere.

You know what I am talking about.

They talk, then swear, mention the kids, then swear, talk about the service of the food, then swear, and then they just stand up and swear at once another for no reason other than they can.
You think you have it bad? I go to college, and here it is just ridiculous.

I sit alone, at most times, in my room, and let my suitemates carry on outside. We have a mutual understanding: they can be as rude as they want and I will be in my room, so therefore I won't be involved. However, when they increase their volume and continue shouting through the door, it gets harder to ignore.

Then, my roommate suddenly joined in.

He has taken to playing online games, which everyone can hear over his computer. Voices from players around the globe begin to scream and yell and hollar, and, yes, swear.

It is weird, though - you'll hear things like, "Oh BLEEP, my BLEEPING gnome mage is BLEEPING under BLEEPING attack by a BLEEPING dark wizard!"

Trust me, it sounds strange.

My point is this: I have no place to run to anymore. I can't just live with my headphones on, and my roommate can't just turn off his sound. And outside, the yelling will continue, and on the floors above, and outside my window.

They keep talking. And they won't stop.
