`TripleOGeg` [Thread]

Damn I'm so late but here goes:

In my old front room / living room you could hear French people talking.
No one else could hear it and I was a strange kid so my parents just
chalked it down to 'Triple's being weird again'.

I started learning French and trying to understand what they were
talking about, I'd sit in the room for hours making notes of what I
could hear and what it might mean. This was starting to freak my parents
out at this point because I would sit there in a silent living room for
hours making notes about French people talking.

One day I'm watching TV and these French ass holes just won't shut up,
they're seriously ruining my starship troopers animated series and it's
unacceptable. I realise that the louder I turn the TV up the louder the
voices are getting, as if they're deliberately talking over the TV.

I've had enough, I turn the TV off and go to walk out of the room but
the voices are still talking really loudly. I turn back to the TV and
put my ear next to the speaker.

Turns out we were receiving really crappy French FM radio signal from
France and it was just a crappy French chat show playing 24/7 (even when
the TV was off which was weird).

I couldn't believe my parents didn't believe me so I made them listen
and they heard it eventually, I think they were relieved I wasn't insane
and amazed that my hearing was so good (it was really quiet).
