That's me, too. Sometimes, even if the background noise isn't that bad,
I'll have trouble understanding a person.

I like things to be the same alot. As a baby, I would only drink milk
from a specific bottle. Today, I actually like to eat the same thing
day in and day out. People ask "Don't you ever get tired of that?",
when, in fact, I prefer the same thing to having something different
every day. I'll go weeks eating only spaghetti, or only Macaroni and
Cheese, and drinking only Mountain Dew [especially drinking Mt. Dew
while chewing Mentos] or Root Beer (used to only be Mt. Dew, now I've
diversified).
