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.

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.

A bigger speaker and a podcast about worshipping Satan might get some rules enacted.

And I just got a big ol' Bluetooth one from Goodwill. It's got a handle, four front facing speakers and a subwoofer. Let's fucking go.

This is the way

Tbh I was tempted to put some death metal on and just blast it.

“Oh well, can’t do anything about it.”

"Gee, guess I have to spend 10 minutes online and pick out one of the other million people who do what you do."
