Vocal Nausea

It can be said that Hell is a state of mind. In this case, hell is infringing upon mine. I stand amongst the hospital patients consuming their continental breakfasts, spying a tearful farewell. A terminal patient slated for surgery at the Hospital getting his head hugged and stroked in a consoling fashion; this may be his last week as a resident of earth.
All I can hear, in addition to the overly dramatic repetitive mexican soap opera music blaring from the lobby tv mixed with Elton John favorite 'Candle in the wind', is blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Seems an overly ambitious, albeit nice, employee has been infected with language nausea. As a result, my ears bleed from a constant sonic onslaught testing my patience and mood. I cease to hear instead listening to the tone and basic sound that is being uttered. I hear not the words sputtering forth, only reacting to the tone of voice answering with the stock responses of 'uh huh', 'sweet', and 'wow'. Inserting a little laughter as a reaction to theirs if necessary and they will continue seemingly unaware. The question is do these people, stricken with the debilitating disease of motor mouth nausea, realize that they are not being listened to? This leads me to conclude that they talk as much as they do as a probable reaction to not being listened to in the first place, probably for the majority of their life.

Enter conspiracy mind: I think that this person is an alien. Why? A strong attatchment to Star Trek. I think that this alien is here observing and studying me along with the rest of the human race. This is the reason for the constant chatter as well as odd looks and awkward demeanor. The spewing of words is a way to constantly measure the reactions that humans have to the perpetual word train testing such things as body temperature, voice timbre, and facial reactions. Exit conspiracy mind

Thank you conspiracy mind for always providing such entertaining ideas about things.

Hotel hint #543
When residing at hotel, Scout the room for bugs, such as a centipede that was found in one of the rooms here. Any spotting of bugs should be brought immediately to the attention of the staff. A free room will more than likely be awarded to the lucky tenant (see hint # 152).

Hotel hint # 152
When checking into a room at a hotel, seek out the knowledge of whether or not the hotel has any sort of 100% satisfaction guarantee. This can lead to all sort of free or discounted things.

Hotel hint # 1
Contrary to popular belief, hotel room rates are somewhat negotiable. The original price quoted usually can come down anywhere from 5-20%.

"Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah."

"Uh, huh."
