Random pet peeve

I hate being shushed. I don't know why people think it's okay or appropriate to tell another adult to shush.

Don't get me wrong. A simple, polite: "Would you mind lowering your voice?" or "Excuse me, I can't hear the person talking/show/whatever" is just fine.

What I hate is being treated like a four-year-old or a misbehaving dog.

Pet peeve over. Carry on.

I couldn't agree with you more. It is both annoying and humiliating.

From a friend when I'm being an ass? I find it endearing.

From a stranger? Them's fightin' words :)

Somebody did this to you in public? Wow.
