Fascinating question. My mother ran a day care from our home, so almost certainly above what is the norm, though i wouldn't describe it as particularly noisy/rambunctious.
- asdf21 7y agoI tend to think a lot of our core personality traits are developed during an imprinting period (mostly between 7 and 11). I grew up as an only child on a fairly pastoral 15 acres, so very different environment compared to most people who have siblings. As an adult, office noise bothers me a lot more than most, especially conversations. The idea of being productive in a cafe / starbucks is almost absurd to me, like a Monty Python sketch. Although, I sort of feel the same about Open Office plans, which is less funny, especially in the Bay Area.
- ikeyany 7y agoI would imagine that anyone who uses the word 'pastoral' to describe their childhood would find much of the Bay Area to be Monty Python-esque.
