    Any and all speaker/amp/etc demo, listening sessions, the first thing I have always done is turn the volume down, because that is how I would listen to it. Don't like being blasted.
    
    Live concerts, stupid stuff like throwing steel plates around, (and maybe measles!) still got to my hearing, though :(

    As a grey muzzle with demonstrably damaged hearing, you rock out with your bad self at less than 80 DB. I no longer know what silence sounds like and certain notes are physically painful when played loudly during a movie (the ear ringing sound clip that Mssr. Bay so loves).

  The worst sales pitch to me is when the person starts to talk about my happiness when I got the product. Boner killer right there.

    Somehow, even here in India, where a "pinch" of salt is usually a handful, and I have an almost-none salt policy at home, I can stand it. But I have a dear friend in England who can't comprehend that people can live without salt. And sometimes, I can still taste it on my lips and tongue the next day. Apart from which, they are a really great cook.

    Butter and salt: the cheap shots to goosing flavor, easily learned by chain restaurant chef wannabees. Salt lips is a tip off. Sometimes they even salt salads!!! Thanks to cardiac issues I must maintain a low sodium diet and can very much appreciate Real Chefs(TM) who know their ingredients, herbs and spices. They achieve delectable dishes without the cheap shot flavor goosing.

    LOL watching Christmas movies went from "These are fun reminisces!" to "this is profoundly touching..." in just a few years of middle-age real-life-shit changing me probably for the better. Better to be kind and share the wealth of what you have than to be grumpy and "right about everything". Better to give than to get was the greatest lesson that sunk in during 2020.

    Wisdom and kindness may develop as one examines their life. However, just because you develop both does not mean you must share it with all. Consider what might be best for the recipient.
