Sounds which we can live without

List of sounds we can live without

1) baby crying - but then again we need to populate the earth

2) dogs barking / cats meowing / crickets criketing - but animals are created by God, so we need to respect God’s creation

3) cars / buses / ambulance siren - again… can we live without these?

4) vacuum / washing machine / hairdryers - we are just plain lazy to clean things the old fashion way…

BUT seriously there is ONE SOUND we can live without, and that is the sound of phone tapping (with those annoying tone) while traveling in a train!!

Do you not agree that it is the most annoying sound in the whole world cos it is definitely a sound which we can live without!

It is just basic courtesy to fellow commuters - as we will never know if the person beside you might just have a stressful day at work / migraine and having “tit tit tit” sound reverberating on a inconsistent manner is not really very relaxing. Before long their eyebrow may be twitching, eyeballs rolled up and for more serious case, foaming in their mouth.

Ok I may have exaggerated a fair bit but recently I had the experience of sitting beside a lady whom I believe is quite popular going by the amount of SMS she was sending and receiving. So there I was sitting beside her chanting “inner peace, inner peace” and trying very hard at deep breathe in and breathe out technique.

But with each incoming sms, followed by the “tit tit tit tit tit tit tit tit tit tit tit, I was hopelessly on the verge of banging my head on the LRT.

So next time you are on the train or any public transportation, please put your phone on silent mode and let us all appreciate the sound of silence.
