Kinda, sorta like that... is when I am walking around some festival or gathering with loud music, or just big crowds, I can barely ever hear anyone. I am OK with music. I am not ok with people wanting to talk to me at such events. So, when I see someone with eye contact and lips moving at such an event, I just say something random, like...
"I'd love to, but it pisses my monkey off."
"Fine, fine, Just give it to me in twenty dollar bills."
"Not since the Gulf of Mexico."
My wife knows what I am doing, so she is usually cracking up at me. Whoever is trying to sell me something or just talk to me usually just walks off in disgust, or a profound sense of sadness at the cooky old deaf man.
My wife knows to text me if she needs me to know something at these things. She's a great gal. :
