When they say it’s as easy as cleaning underwear, are they admitting that they shit their pants everyday?

I dunno, the three shells seem to work just fine for me. It’s a very efficient system I suggest you all try it.

“that it’s no worse than dealing with dirty underwear”

Bidet. Stop being a stuck up American who is about as terrified of bidets as of public speaking.

I prefer the seashell method that’ll be all the rage in 14 years.

I live on the coast, so just waiting for the weather to turn warm, and then we’ll start going to the outdoor waterfront restaurants. I have the same type of wife, not sure why she married me.

There are so many places to eat (at least in Houston, where I live) that I just don’t see any reason to have an unpleasant dining experience because it’s so loud. I know I sound like a crotchety grandpa, but my wife is very smart and a great conversationalist. I like to enjoy that while eating.

I too have a hard time separating speech from really loud noises. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been at a concert and, when someone says something to me, I’ve just responded with a big smile, nod, and a “Yeah! Oh, yeah!”

People need to start voting with their money. If you don’t like the noise level, add reviews in Yelp and Google’s reviews and never visit again and do not order takeout. I’m still guilty of ordering takeout from noisy places, but I’m going to stop doing that. Maybe I’m getting too old.

I’ll add Texas Roadhouse and Buffalo Wild Wings to that list.

Yeah, I’ve found those Japanese Hibachi restaurants cater to kids more than adults. I don’t need shrimp thrown at me to catch in my mouth, I don’t need a show, just do your hibachi thing, and let me eat in peace.

My husband’s cousin owns a restaurant in LA and he says they purposefully keep it loud to ensure quick turnover. He really doesn’t seem to care that everyone in the family has said the noise is assaultive and that they don’t like eating there as a result. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My ears are very sensitive and a lot of things sound much louder to me than to anyone else. Screechy and shrill noises are especially painful. I will never set foot in a sports bar again, that’s for sure.

I’m so glad to know I’m not the only one who factors in noise levels when choosing a restaurant. I can think of several I’ve stopped frequenting, even though I miss the food, simply because I find going intolerable anymore. Even the majority of fast casual places seem to play music for the enjoyment of the staff with…

I would tried to stay away from some Japanese Restaurants, ‘cause it’s their own custom to scream out loud during dinner to make eating fun. Well I like it nice and quiet when I have my food.

I think it’s one of those bottom of the barrel He-Man characters.

My, who could have predicted that?

I just want native Cortana back. Losing her when moving from WM to Android has sucked.

Expect many people shouting, “hey asshole” very soon.

My hotword will be “snookums”
