I hear ya! There ought to be rules for spouse speak:
1. Before speaking, address your spouse by name, or pet name, to get its attention.
2. While speaking, try being in the same room as the addressee, and if possible, point your voice apparatus in the intended direction.
3. Expect the recipient to hear the words you speak rather than the thoughts inside your head.
4. Should you choose to respond, raise your voice at your own peril.
5. When all else fails, mutter and mumble incoherently.
