The thought you weren't significant. They probably won't even remember you, but you'll remember them.

They are not oblivious, American women seem to take pride in being obnoxious and annoying. Anything for attention. But thats why the world prefers European women hehe

I am, unfortunately, in a pretentious hotel restaurant surrounded by mostly Germans. At the other end of this room, which is about the size of a football pitch, there’s an young American woman with what I’m assuming are her parents or grandparents.

I literally cannot hear the person next to me because from the other side of this room - again, that is the size of a football pitch - this woman is bellowing at her parents at volume 97: “SO MY FRIEND CASEY GOT AN ABORTION BECAUSE SHE WAS LIKE TOTALLY STRESSED AND SHE WAS LIKE WORKING THREE JOBS AND SHE’D BEEN HAVING LIKE EPISODES OF LIKE ROADRAGE WHERE SHE LIKE GOT OUT OF HER CAR AND SHE WAS LIKE BANGING ON THE WINDOW OF THE OTHER CAR AND SHE ALMOST GOT LIKE ARRESTED”...  completely oblivious to the fact that her voice is reverberating around this room and there are at least 30 other people in here who can’t fucking hear themselves think for hearing about Casey and her fucking mental breakdown and subsequent abortion. I am literally on here typing this because I can’t have a conversation with the person next to me because this woman is so fucking loud.

They’ve also been talking really loudly about a period in the history of the country we are in that’s still a bit taboo to talk about, loudly speculating about whether a 13 year old relative of theirs masturbares (we are trying to EAT here), and I heard: “vino tinto is coloured wine, right?” “Yes, but you can’t talk about coloured PEOPLE hahaha” followed by laughter for about five minutes. 

I don’t mean to be dismissive of another culture but WHY ARE YOU THIS FUCKING LOUD???!!

 Most Americans don't realize how loud they are and often enough need to be reminded to lower their voice. Just tell her that she's being loud.

 Why would they even think I’m significant tho? I’m on the other side of an 18th century ballroom from them and literally just want to eat a steak without the mental image of aborted foetuses, children masturbating, mid-20th century torture techniques and uncle joe’s colon surgery 

why did no one mention this...you don’t have to read all of it but you get the idea there is a principle at work with the type of room you described https://www.slate.com/culture/2014/06/the-acoustics-of-eavesdropping-how-curved-ceilings-and-walls-redirect-and-amplify-sound

this picture illustrates a focal point in the wall at the arch, such that if he talked into it at that exact point you would hear it amplified standing behind him.

Maybe your ballroom was built something like this

(Grand Terminal Oyster Bar Arch, Grand Central Station, New York)

Can you tell us more about Casey?

Ones I've seen while traveling are so much worse though.

America has many sub-cultures. yes, some are loud and obnoxious. but some are reserved.
