When you were at McDonalds, you ordered more than half of the menu, right? When you get to collect your food, the server says, "Enjoy your meal," and you reply with "Thanks you too." After this, the server looks at you as if you are an extraterrestrial creature because WHO SAYS THAT?

Shopping can be hectic especially when you cannot find your size. While you are still in a different state of mind, you ask someone what your size is and they look at you with a blank face. That is because that person does not work at the store. Congratulations, you just made a fool of yourself.
In complete silence, have you ever started coughing? Unfortunately, when you are coughing in a room that is completely silent, there just has to be 50 coughs that come after it. You keep coughing and people give you the nastiest looks ever. As if you have Ebola or something.

You are sitting at a table with all your friends, talking about random things. The volume keeps increasing so you decide to say something stupid and that is when everyone gets quiet. With everyone's locked on you, you sit there like the most stupid person in the entire world.
When you have been listening to music on full volume for a very long time, you go partially deaf. With your ears not working, you do not know what volume to use within the premises of your work. You open your mouth and say something as loudly as you could and everyone turns around to look at you as if you were a cave dweller. Good-bye reputation.
