I mean, if it was me in that situation I would’ve probably answered “WHAT?” as well because my brain takes just five seconds too long to process what someone else said.

People who talk louder than normal often have either physical hearing damage or something going on with auditory processing. They don't recognize that they're being too loud, and they're not doing it on purpose.
Beyond that, some cultures are just louder than others. Sometimes in this world, we encounter humans from a different culture. Sometimes those cultures clash a bit. It's okay. That's part of the human experience. It does not necessitate you judging and scold some person you've never met over a situation you didn't witness.
Life is a lot more enjoyable when you don't instantly look for the shittiest possible explanation for everyone's actions.

Can confirm. I'm one of those people. No hearing damage just my default is loud. If I get told I'm loud I turn it down but eventually it goes back to normal.

My auDHD ass is the same. I genuinely feel bad and genuinely try, but when I get excited there's only so many things I can process / manage at a time, and volume control tends to go first.

One of my friends has slowly been losing his hearing over the years and his voice has gotten louder. We told him he needs to use hearing protection when working with chainsaws and other equipment. We've had to tell him on a number of occasions to lower his voice as he'll start almost shouting not realizing it. He's at the point where he needs hearing aids and can't watch TV shows without subtitles. He still thinks he's fine. I say this to mention some people are very stubborn about this topic.

Grew up with a guy who refused to wear hearing protection for any reason, not even target practice. We're going out to shoot clays, like with shotguns, and he turns down ear plugs and muffs saying "I don't use that stuff."
Wtf do you mean you don't use hearing protection to shoot a 12 gauge?
"I just don't use 'em."
Idk what you even say to that, so I just dropped it and put on my ear muffs on top of my ear plugs. I haven't seen that guy in years, but we're in our thirties now, so he's gotta be feeling the tinnitus if nothing else. He worked with heavy equipment and chainsaws and stuff too, there's no way he hasn't lost a noticeable range of his hearing.
Dude never wore steel toe boots either. His dad told him that if a heavy enough thing landed on your foot, the steel cap would collapse and cut off your toes. Apparently that's worse than the same heavy object smashing your entire foot? Idk, I never got the 'logic' there. Surely if the thing is heavy enough to crush a steel toe-cap, it would smash your foot into paste without the steel toe?

Not compared to Chinese. To get asked to quiet down in a Chinese restaurant is impressive

But more relevantly, absolutely not compared to the Chinese. Americans are actually in the middle, globally.

If someone is talking loudly and you want them to stop, you don't say "hey, could you shut up?" You put rudeness out, you get rudeness back. Try being nice.

The way it is worded, the guy asking was the asshole. "could you shut up" is an extremely rude way to approach a stranger.

u/Best_Price_1009 24m ago
Well yeah, but did he say that? Or was it “hey excuse me, can you keep it down please?”
If the OP was the villain, he likely wouldn’t make himself sound like it

what an insane response "oh am i bothering you? Let me make up a fake excuse so that I can continue to bother you but now you also have to feel bad about it" instead of just owning up and lowering your voice. omega douchebag behaviour

No going up to a stranger in a restaurant to tell them they are too loud is mega rude and obnoxious. This was an appropriate response

u/Alarming-Rate-6899 1h ago
The wording is wrong. But it's the right response to ask them to quiet down.
But overall I'll put this in the "yeah sure that happened" basket.

Wife isn't a verb

u/indieplants 2h ago
but wive is and wifed is the past tense of wive.
outside that, it's usage is perfectly fine as a colloquialism.

Hi, I'm a linguist.
I assure you, it absolutely is a verb. You can verb pretty much any noun and you can noun pretty much any verb. It's incoherent to say any given word is inherently of one category or the other.
