Generally I try to avoid listening any other conversations or I do not like to interact in someone’s life. I think hearing someone’s conversation is indirectly interfering or maybe involving in their life and I try to avoid myself from doing this. I set myself strict in rules that I’ll never have any anyone’s stalkings or anyone’s what they are doing but when you are in a public place it’s maybe not easy for stricting you that rules because if someone’s talking too much louder in public place then you will definitely hear the voice or conversation or hear the conversation. So today I’m going to talk about a situation which is occurred in a couple of weeks ago when I was going to my university I was using public transport that time and a person’s next to me was talking in phones and he was talking too much louder maybe he was frustrated since so I had his conversation and he was talking to someone who maybe borrowed money from him and not returning him time so he was frustrating and talking too much louder than who that when he will give my money give my money back and it was too much louder not only me but also all the passengers in the public transport had his voice it was really irritating for all of us because he didn’t even show any kind of manners that how can you behave in public transport or what should you consider when you are traveling in a public transport it was a terrible experience for me and I wasn’t able to stick on my rose and because he was too much louder so I had his voice the time

Generally, I try to avoid listening to other conversations, and I do not like to interact in someone else's life. I think hearing someone's conversation is indirectly interfering or maybe involving myself in their life, and I try to avoid doing this. I set strict rules for myself that I'll never engage in anyone's stalking or what they are doing. However, when you are in a public place, it may not be easy to adhere to these rules because if someone is talking too loudly in a public place, you will definitely hear their voice or conversation. So today, I'm going to talk about a situation that occurred a couple of weeks ago when I was going to my university. I was using public transport at that time, and a person next to me was talking on the phone. He was talking very loudly, maybe because he was frustrated. I overheard his conversation, and he was talking to someone who had borrowed money from him and was not returning it on time. He was frustrated and kept saying, 'When will you give my money back?' It was so loud that not only I but also all the passengers in the public transport could hear him. It was really irritating for all of us because he didn't show any kind of manners regarding how to behave in public transport or what to consider when traveling. It was a terrible experience for me, and I wasn't able to stick to my rules because he was so loud that I had to hear his voice the entire time.
