Somehow, I must have completely missed that posting about singing being
annoying. It usually surprises me, when a man starts singing, but having an
Argentine sing Spanish words into my ear, why not? It shows that he knows
the music by heart, and I find it a bit romantic. I assume,men do that, when
they are enjoying themselves. Fortunately, I have not encountered any "rah
pah pah" person yet. What I find absolutely infuriating, is a man who has
not really found the beat of the music and tries to patronise me whith his
lead, by saying loudly and patronisingly "One ! Two ! Three !". This will be
the last time he has danced with me.
