This site was created in response to the worldwide epidemic of bad manners that seems to be growing at an astonishing rate.
An ABC poll taken in 2006 found a large percentage of the population offended by rudeness, bad language and loud cell phone talking.
Once upon a time, people actually made an effort not to disturb other people around them. A person would go into a thing called a "phone booth" when they wanted to make a telephone call in public. Moviegoers kept talking down to a whisper during a movie and the only phone available was out in the lobby. In the oldest of days, theaters even had a "cry room" for infants and their mothers so as not to disturb everyone else.
Imagine being able to sit and read in a bookstore or have dinner at a nice restaurant without having to screen out the obnoxiously loud person on the other side of the room. You can't? Well, welcome to the 21st century and welcome to this humble site.

Advancing world peace and quiet
I am just one of thousands of people around the world, tired and frustrated with the lack of consideration that is displayed by a growing "demographic" that I call, "the great unwashed and ill-mannered." People who can't seem to get outside their little world long enough to see the stress that they create on the rest of the population. I've created this blog and online store as an outlet for this pent-up frustration...and also to have a little devious fun while I'm at it!

- As a member of the LTA (Loud Talkers or America) and the BMFC (Billy Mays Fan Club), I am especially proud of the progress we loud talkers have made in disrupting traditional anti-noise bastions, such as libraries. Why, it was only a few decades ago that the rights of Loud Talkers were trampled in libraries and museums by uptight quiet freaks. No more! We are liberated!

- There's only one effective way to combat rude behavior. A genuine smile and kindly humor--fizzles fuses fast. Repeat as needed. Works wonders. Sometimes works miracles.

- You make a lot of excellent points. A copy of this lens should be taped to the door of every public building.
