Styles of talking that irritate you. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

A former boss of mine would always ask himself questions, then answer himself. It drove me crazy. It went something like this. He'd say....Do I think that it's unfair that Joe's not invited to the party? Yes, I do. Do I think someone should tell Joe about the party? No, I don't. Do I think....? blah, blah, blah...

People who take a year to get to the point. They get bogged down in details that don't matter. It goes like this. I'll ask, "What did you buy at the Mall?" Reply... "Well, I ran into my cousin Mary at the Mall, whom I hadn't seen in over 10 years. Her husband left her for another woman who he met at the gym. I need to start going to the gym. The gym near my house closed down. This economy is crazy. I hope they don't cut my hours down at work." Notice, I never got an answer to my question.

The quiz style of talking. My husband does this. He'll say something like, "Guess who I saw today at Home Depot? I'll ask if I can have a multiple choice, lol. Another example, "Guess how much how much our cable bill is going up?" It doesn't really bother me, and it's kind of cute, except if I'm in a bad mood, and I'll say, "Tell me, don't quiz me!"

People who overexplain or underexplain things.

None of these examples influence my life or bother me on a daily basis. I'm just putting them out there.

People who take forever to get to the point bother me too. I wish I had a fast forward button sometimes

People who bug out their eyes when they're emphasizing a certain word.

Also, I get really annoyed when someone talks and does the Banana Dance at the same time.

Janice · 09-29-2009, 09:41 PM

Also, people who sort of sing when they talk. I feel like asking them if they need a guitar, lol.

Then there's people who repeat themselves. People who are drunk do that. Jerry Seinfeld said in his standup once that he didn't like being around drunk people because they either love you or they hate you, lol.

Wreckless · 09-29-2009, 09:42 PM

people that use internet lingo in their real lives.

i heard somebody use L-M-F-A-O on a song, and that was stupid lol, but it wouldn't even be as bad is if somebody said LOL/laughing out loud, in person to me.

People who interrupt all the time, know-it-alls and people who talk about themselves nonstop.

Chocoholic · 09-29-2009, 10:29 PM

I can't stand it when people interrupt all the time either. I find it really rude.

I also can't stand loudmouths. I had a co-worker who talked so loudly all the time, it made me cringe. I don't think I ever heard that woman talk softly.

I don't like people who talk to quietly so you can't make out what they're saying. Like the low talker who asked Jerry Seinfeld to wear the puffy shirt and he accidently agreed because he couldn't hear what she was saying.

And then there's close talkers. You know the one's who have to stick their face in yours when they talk to you.

Amen!!

About people interrupting - I've had people who, when you go to say something and halfway through what I'm saying they say HUH? everytime. OK, I am speaking proper english, put on your listening ears!!

Also, people(mostly men) who seem like they haven't even listened to what I just said, and they're start talking about a totally different subject, instead of responding to what I was talking about. Um, sorry if I'm boring you!!
