They, as in women over 50, can be so loud sometimes. It's like they are all cooped up in the house from 3:30PM - 7:00AM but as soon as they are awake and go out in public, lookout!
Chat-chat-chat! Cackle-cackle-cackle! They get so excited that they don't realize they are one upping each others voices as the conversation flows. Before long they have polluted the entire air waves.
It's like the one starts off saying, "Did you see so-and-so died?" The next, "My son Johnny knows someone who did that too." Sad faces. Two minutes later they are cackling away. One is laughing and telling a story, the others break off into paired conversations, one with a distinct laugh laughing real loudly! The others start laughing and slapping the table.
"Ha Ha Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah"
cackle cackle cackle!
