To add to the allistic superpower list: Today at work, where we mostly take phone calls, the fire alarm (noise and flashing lights) got stuck going off for almost a whole hour. My coworkers said it was annoying, but just kept answering their phones and doing their jobs. I had to turn my phone off and sit there with my hands over my ears, staring at my screensaver until it was done. They could still, like, function. I am in awe.
Omg, that is the WORST. I don’t know how they function, knowing that their ears are being damaged, and not caring! Don’t they care about their own bodies?
Also, I am very, very sorry that you were made to sit there through that! That’s absolutely horrible! If I were in your shoes, I would have left the room and waited outside until it was over, getting fired be damned (I’ve been fired a lot).
I hope this never, ever happens again, and I am so, so sorry that you had to suffer like this. That’s just awful.
Also...don’t the people they are calling hear it in the background? Doesn’t that...ruin the call? I...don’t...understand.
Maybe it’s like you said, they really have superpowers, they’re not normal humans of this earth. Utter freaks.
