This is very common among Villagers, and I find it very annoying. Maybe I'm just too sensitive to this, but I think everyone knows that this is rude and inappropriate.

I have posted on this before, but today I'm asking for suggestions about how to handle this. Do you experience the same thing? Do you confront the persons and risk their indignant wrath or just try to ignore it and maybe change seats? I'd really like to know what you think.
Cedwards, your movie people showed up at our pickleball court this morning. Talking at the top of their lungs, warming up, while we were in the middle of a game next to them.

My partner asked them if they could lower their voices. She was nice about it. They gave her a funny look, but they did lower their voices.

We couldn't move to another court. So I guess in the movie I would first move. If that's not possible, I'd ask them to be quiet.
