Dudley's post reminded me of a dynamic so consistent I guess it's worth mentioning in the context of the who-what-when of pissing off our soulmates with our hobby.
For years <maybe the last 12 or so> I've used the manipulation time sort of like therapy before bed, and my girlfriend is almost always asleep before I do this. Never <EVER> has she ever made any mention of it, either at the time..., or the next day. BUT...if I swing (2) Balis
~~> ....I will hear a sort of passive request for SILENCE in less than a minute 
<EVERYTIME>??...followed by a not-so-passive demand to leave the zipcode if I don't stop 
Obviously two makes more noise..., sort of a no-brainer, but it has always amazed me just because of the consistency of the response, and the immediacy of the reaction EVERY DARN TIME
Other than that, I don't think I've ever driven anyone to buying earplugs, cause I just don't ever "flip" for a non-appreciative audience. .....and mostly by myself.
Fun question...thanks!
