do you know people who talk about themselves in the 3rd person? |
|
does it drive you as crazy as it does me?
i have an aquaintance/coworker who always does this: "Bob works out like that because it makes Bob feel great!" or "Bob got lucky last night" followed by a *wink*.
i just do not get this! where did he lose the ability to say "I"? should i ask him?
tell me i'm not alone in this pet peeve - or tell me one of your own :)

2. well, auntAgonist thinks.. |
|
that's really annoying.
"I" know people who do that, is it supposed to be 'cute'? drives me up a wall.

9. My old boss did. It made me crazy. |
|
I hated it. It's just downright creepy.
Plus he used to talk about "mute points" all the time.
And bought a super-expensive Kinkade and bragged about how much he spent on it. :puke:

12. i knew this guy who'd talk about ME in the third person...on top of that |
|
he'd call me by a different nickname all the time.... I'd have no idea who he was talking about and then I'd think wait a minute, this is about me! why is he telling me about me anyway?

I never heard of someone doing that. That would both annoy and creep me out at the same time.
