"If seeing people enjoying themselves makes you mad or sad then you’re the problem, not them.
I was neither mad or sad. Its actually nice to see people out having a good time.  "
That wasn’t a “you” as in you. More a generalisation  |

I get this a lot, I think probably because I seem more attuned to noise than most others. I find any noise an unnecessary nuisance and I would vote B.
That being said, I was out with six mates last night for a curry (yes an odd number 😆) and the restaurant was packed and noisy. Some of my friends were getting d*unk because they took TWO HOURS to bring our food out. Consequently they were getting pretty loud and I could see people looking, especially those out as couples trying to have a nice meal together. I was mildly embarrassed but not annoyed like I would have been if I was a an observer. |

It is great seeing people have a good time
Unfortunately, I ended up in the situation the other evening where a group of people asked if they could share the bar table I was at. I said yes of course! One of the women was loud af though, and laughing like a drain at every word a guy said...
Wish I'd said no, this is my table. Bugger off  |

Being on the
spectrum, I have sensory sensitivity and can be fairly badly impacted by what for me is near intolerable, I become very uncomfortable. A well managed environment will aim to cater with conditions like mine. I'm also a fairly loud person sometimes and I make myself keep it we quieter, when I may be affecting others
I've posted before about those who have to have their mobile conversations on loud speaker to with very loud, poor sound reproduction  |

I totally get this... I find overly loud people after a while can become very annoying and I get fed up... especially if I they're very close.Im all for people enjoying themselves but there's no need to laugh and bellow like Brian Blessed.... |

Somewhere between a and b.
Great to hear people enjoying themselves but sometimes it gets out of hand.
I was out for dinner recently and there was a group of women having a good evening, but every so often 2 of them would kick off into a high-pitched screech … Jesus, couldn’t hear ourselves when those 2 decided to shout / screech |

"I wonder why there were 5? Two couples and a lonely sad one they invited out of pity? Or was it supposed to be 3 couples and one pair had a huge argument beforehand and one stayed at home? "
Could it not be 5 single people? Do single people not exist?? |

It could have been. It’s why I put a question mark. Yes, single people do exist. |

Worlds fucked.

It's not about whether people can laugh or not it's the volume... nothing worse if you've gone out for dinner and you have someone behind you braying like a donkey at full volume... people just need to be considerate of other folk tying to enjoy a meal |

Yeah, now that I think about it, my answer is definitely B. Always be considerate. That doesn’t mean sitting there in hushed silence, it just means not tearing the arse out of it and let others enjoy the evening too |
