Today, jammed too close between two people who both declared themselves as hard of hearing** who were both talking through me towards each other, I stepped back held up my hands and gave the TIME OUT sign. OK, I allowed, here are the ground rules: only one person talks at a time and only one person does stuff.
And they both started talking again. I gave the time out sign again.
We got through the question. Three or four times through it.
“See you tomorrow!” the husband said as they left.
