In our hospital or dentists waiting rooms, they always have the TV on.. but the sound is off, and subtitles are on...My Podiatrist shares a waiting room with the local Doctor. Every time I go in for an appointment the T.V. is blaring. I asked the receptionist
why it was so loud and she said, "so patients outside can't hear what the Doctor was talking about". When I went in last Thursday the picture was on
but no sound. I said "Oh, I thought something was missing, no sound". She just looked at me. Maybe other patients complained about the loudness of the T.V.?
Playing Vivaldi's 4 Seasons all day is stupid. I like classical music and there is so much more than Vivaldi's 4 seasons. What about Beethoven, Chopin, Brahams, John Williams on guitar, Leroy Anderson, Wagner? Someone playing the same thing all day long is either tune death or just plain ignorant. I always believed that "variety is the spice of life."Yes, it would bother you. Radio stations that play the same songs every day. Daily torture for those working in fast food, etc.
Someone told me their friend worked in a bookstore where they played Vivaldi's 4 Seasons all day, every day. Imagine working there for, say, a week.
Also, gyms where they play the same 2-hour loop every day. Argh!
I don't mind it so much when shopping, because I'm only there for a few minutes.
The last time I was in the dentist office, I told them to shut off that bloody TV. I suffer enough going to the "ivory snatcher" but I don't need to sit and watch screaming advertising.In our hospital or dentists waiting rooms, they always have the TV on.. but the sound is off, and subtitles are on...
