I Don't Like It When People Talk So Loudly

My mom uses 'not too loud' on me but has she even heard herself? My mom has quite a mouth on her, one that would make Steven Tyler jealous. She says i'm being loud but am I really? Far from it...i'm the quietest person in the room. I doubt that anyone else there is listening, not even the neighbors. Come to think of it, we don't even see them. We live in a quaint little town in New Zealand, not New York.

But she is so insistent on breaking her own established rule it is annoying and she doesn't even realize it. And there are the following factors:

1. The neighbors. Even though we don't see them...no these neighbors aren't cannibals, werecreatures, vampires or monsters in general - they're just either really bizarre or rarely show up. But they can be heard loudly partying next door or playing loud music. Yeah sure mom, chide me for listening to music at that volume but you totally don't acknowledge the fact the neighbors are obnoxiously noisy? Mother. How about next time using those powers for good?
2. We live in New Zealand, a place so quaint and peaceful you can actually hear your own breath and your own thoughts. The only sounds you're likely to hear are the local wildlife and even then they take a breath once a while.
3. Thunder and/or wind and lightning.
4. Yoga. This is supposed to be a peaceful activity but she insists on playing that new age meditation music in the background at a volume that could cause anyone to go deaf.
5. Not closing the door. Mom, it would be really nice if you gave me so privacy and closed the flipping door and also asked or knocked before coming in, I don't mind you bringing me things in there - I just don't like to be interrupted while I am working.
6. Arguments with dad. Do me a favor mom and NEVER ever go into 'scary' mode when i'm watching, i've seen your arguments with my late father and my lord were you two frightening, and seeing you in 'angry/scary' mode frankly is the last thing I want to see or hear when I sleep or when i'm around in general.
7. Sneezing. Uhhh..mom, next time you cough or sneeze blow your nose or cover your mouth.
8. Mom...please cut the stupid crying, it really annoys me and disturbs me to hear you break down and crying like someone just killed your hopes and dreams.
9. Loudly talking to friends about everything even embarrassing secrets. Mom, you're a classic blabbermouth.
