If I like the music I don’t care if it’s 2 years, 20 years, or 200 years old 🙂 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry Como put me to sleep 40 years ago. Listening to him over the speakers now is tiring, or perhaps a Rip Van Winkle moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I must have been very lucky to have been able to ignore music I didn’t care for and enjoy the music that came on and I enjoyed 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take today for example on an O cruise, our tour guide gave us implicit instructions on what to do when we off loaded the ship. Repeated it three times. Several got off clueless, then did exactly what he told them not to do. I’m not so sure that “ talent “ of yours is a blessing. Some of us were taught/trained to absorb our surroundings. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are special 😉 It is like those that never read/comprehend & post things nothing to do with what people are asking Or people that never read the fine print in their cruise documents or insurance coverage then are surprised I can tune out Music or conversations I am not interested in but do listen to instructions How many muster drills have you been to when people are too busy socializing to listen to what they must do in an emergency I make note as I do not want to be in a life boat with any of them if a real emergency should happen JMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am far less charitable than you are. Over the years I have become convinced that many people cannot follow instructions and/or cannot read and interpret what they have read. There are many stupid people (not to be confused with being uneducated, because you can still be very smart). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
