My colleagues have a superpower: they are so good at whispering when they want to be discreet in the office that they somehow manage to speak without any sound coming out their mouth. I swear they don't disturb the tiniest bit of air.
Sometimes, I'm on the receiving end of such whispers and inevitably find myself in the very uncomfortable situation where I can't for the life of me hear anything they're saying to me.
They must have had some sort of silent-whispering training I inexplicably skipped, and as I can't possibly ask them to repeat louder I choose to pretend I have supersonic hearing like everybody else (right?).
I've never liked whispering anyway. At work I mean. ASMR is still pretty much appreciated.
