This is a major pet peeve of me.<p>People: Hey, we're going to a bar. Want to come along?<p>Me: Sure.<p>Bar: REALLY LOUD MUSIC<p>Me: [tries to shout some conversation, gives up]<p>People: [make half-hearted dance moves, stand around, drink]<p>Me: [stand around]<p>Me: Okay, ehh, nice seeing you all, I guess I'll be off then.<p>People: WHAT?<p>Me: NEVER MIND. BYE!<p>I do not get that kind of bars. People don't even really dance.
Part of it is, you can't hear anyone or have a decent conversation, so you might as well drink (there's nothing else to do if no one's dancing)... the correlation makes sense.
