<human>: I've been sitting here for 10 minutes thinking whether I should post this, what the hell I'll just do it (listening to Sigur Ros doesn't really help).

I went to a pub (let me stress this, not a club) about 9PM with a friend on my course at university for a few drinks and a chat. Being freshers week, most places were full to the brim but we just saw a group of what must have been 50 people (white t-shirt group) leaving the place, so we walked on in. Like most places, the music was blaring so loud it was impossible to have a proper conversation, but thankfully the pub had an outside area so we went and sat down. We then got back up, went back inside and over to the bar.

I wanted to order a Vodka Red Bull, but whenever I tried to convey this to the guy at the bar, he said he couldn't hear me properly. I tried repeating it about 5 times but to no avail. I told my friend and he understood, and told the guy and all was fine, followed by a bit of awkward silence while he ordered his drink.

My voice is not the clearest or loudest, and I have some trouble properly pronouncing some syllables, due to an infection I had in my throat when I was young. It just seems to me that I can't be the only person who's suffered from this. It's happened a few other times as well, usually ending with me telling a friend what I want and him telling the guy behind the bar, and it's one of the main reasons I don't enjoy going out as much as I could. I just think it's silly to have speakers blazing out music right above where people are meant to order their drinks.

I guess I just want to know if this is more common than I think it is, have redditors had similar experiences or know people who have this problem?

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: Go up to bar with music playing loudly, guy doesn't understand what I'm saying after 5 attempts, ask friend to help. Lose confidence. Is this common?
