DEAR ABBY: Ever since about my eighth month of pregnancy until now, six months postpartum, it seems like my husband is disgusted by me.
I’m having a tough time with people who video chat and play videos on their cellphones. It’s always at a volume you can hear from 30 feet away, and it happens when I’m dining at a bar or sitting in a restaurant, etc. It’s distracting, intrusive and really annoying. It’s as if this behaviour is now acceptable, when it’s not — at least to me.
Any suggestions on confronting this behaviour, or is it really my issue to deal with? If I could toss their phones into the ice machine at the bar, I would. — GROUCH IN NEW JERSEYIn a restaurant, if the sound of someone’s cellphone video is intrusive, ask the host to move you to a quieter table. If it happens in a bar, it may be because the more crowded the place, the louder it becomes — so either move to a quieter area or find a quieter venue.
While I agree that many people spend more time on their cellphones than communicating directly with the people around them, you can’t change them and neither can I. So learn to tolerate it or, if it becomes too much for you, leave.My husband sneezes really loud and it’s kind of embarrassing. What should I do about this? I told him he should see a doctor because it happens a lot. — MARRIED TO A NOISEMAKERPeople sneeze for various reasons, not all of them allergy-related.
