My ex-A is a yakker as well. His whole family is. When one of them leaves a message on my answering machine, the machine ends up cutting them off...because they are not done gabbing. And they talk LOUD as well. When ex-A calls me, I can hold the phone a foot from my ear and hear him just fine. So can everyone else in the room.
Wishing you a peaceful, *quiet* night
