The carpenter may have thought the same sentiment is being applied to loud power tools such as table saw, jointer, router, …


Certainly, which is why the social interaction OP described makes sense.

But OP was specific in the loud things they mentioned, and that list very much does not directly imply carpentry. So to then make it about OP's lack of tact by explicitly calling out the OP for focusing on their profession? It strains credulity as a good faith reading of OP's story.


In other words: GP hit a nerve.
