Impossible to concentrate
I tried to watch a movie to distract myself, but they spoke loudly, making it impossible to concentrate.
Their conversation was not only loud but also absurdly trivial, punctuated with laughter that grated on my nerves.
I increased the volume on my headphones, but it was a futile effort. Giving up on the movie, I considered reading a book, but the constant chatter made even focus seem like a distant dream.
