    The true thing that bugs me more than anything else in this world is going into public restrooms you have soap dispensers that automatically dispense soap, toilets that automatically flush without having to touch, water turns on when you place your hands and still no touching, and hand dryers that'll turn on without having to touch them, and yet you still have to touch the door to get out. And these new high-tech bathrooms don't offer paper towels to open the doors that are always pull to get out . Why don't the doors open automatically too? That bugs me. Going to all the trouble to build touch less rest rooms, yet not so much as a handicap button to open the door for you.

    I second this. I have it and it is absolutely annoying.

    You want to torture someone? Expose them to enough loud crap they get tinnitus and then stick them in a completely sound proof room. I would go insane in a matter of hours.

    I hate taking hearing tests because of it.

    This is where I am. Though every once in a while some idiot sets off a car alarm on the showroom floor and it reminds me how much I hate it.

    I too have ringing in my ears so in every room I have ceiling fans turned on and that helps dampen the ringing, somewhat...

    One fairly effective thing to block the ringing is hearing aids, which I have - and don't wear.

    I did for about six months, but having something stuck in my ears for hours on end was too much.

    I put them away.

    Lubrication threads in general, or people who reopen dead lube threads rehashing the same stuff that had been covered earlier?

    Shouldn't take that long, even without tinnitus.

    World's Quietest Room Will Drive You Crazy in 30 Minutes : Discovery News.

    Excerpt: "It’s so quiet, you can hear your own organs: your heart, stomach, even your ears, which make a tiny amount of noise. It turns out that it’s not an especially pleasant experience, especially in the dark. The longest anyone has ever spent alone in the chamber? Forty-five minutes."
    " Nil desperandum - Never Despair. That is a motto for you and me. All are not dead; and where there is a spark of patriotic fire, we will rekindle it. "
    - Samuel Adams -
