I happened to be in D.C. last week and rode the metro train frequently. On one occasion, I exited a train and went up the escalators towards a noise that sounded like a crowd yelling at a football game. Instead, it was two large groups (about 30 people) of black women—with children in tow—getting “in each others’ faces” and yelling at the top of their lungs. Not sure what it was about, but I wasn’t going to stick around and watch.
Civility has gone into the toilet.
Are you sure they were having a row?
Could be that they were just having a “normal”, friendly chat. I’ve heard some pretty loud “conversations” across a room before.
