I will usually just inform the caller that there is a lot of noise on the line and I am having a hard time hearing them. If it persists, I will suggest we disconnect and try dialing again. Usually they get the message.
One of my managers was over there and he said to me "Dude, you'd stick out like a sore thumb being tall and white"
That was one that used to bug me when I was still working. I have hearing issues, and excessive background noise is tough for me to filter out. Basically, I used to ask people if they had me on speaker phone, and if they said yes, I would explain that I could not understand what they were saying on the speaker, and would politely ask them to turn it off so that I would be able to hear them properly. Most people were pretty cool about it.
I took cabs, buses and the PM drove when he was there. I wouldn't mind driving in the countryside but the traffic in that town was crazy busy. The roundabout near my hotel had stop lights in it. That was the only way they could get a reasonable traffic flow.England. Did you have to get a right hand drive Harley?
Obviously in the land of Lilliputians.
My hubby is around volleyball players way too much. He thinks the average height of females is like 5'9-5'10". True average of American women is more like 5'4"-5'-5". Oldest is below average height (and done growing).
She had volleyball practice last night and an older (17 or 18U) team practices after hers. I swear these girls are all at least 6'3" with legs for days.
