Delilah: Could you turn that down?
Josh: What?
Delilah: Could you turn your music down?
Josh: Oh, sure. Is there a problem?
Delilah: No, there’s no problem. I was just
trying to do some reading and the ear-
splitting music coming from your room
made it hard to concentrate.
Josh: Sorry. I didn’t think it was that loud. I
didn’t turn it up, I swear.
The volume control is in the same
place it always is, not one decibel
higher.
Delilah: That may be true, but those
high-pitched squeals coming out of
your speakers are really
grating. And what was that
banging sound?
Josh: Oh, I was just using this
hammer to fix my chair. I’m done.
Delilah: And what was that
thumping noise?
Josh: Thumping noise? Oh, I was lifting
weights and dropping them back down
on the floor.
Delilah: I see. If you could please keep the
volume to a moderate level, I would
appreciate it.
Josh: No problem. I’ll be as quiet as a
mouse – as I always am.
