Have you ever met someone who just wouldn't shut up?

[Shell Beau]

Seriously, take a breath and shut the FUCK up!


Sorry y'all! I just got back from a get together, but I was completely unable to socialize because this one gal wouldn't shut up!! And I just couldn't be mean and leave her hanging! AAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!

[ElizabethDC]

1. Uh-oh. I think I'm one of those people

Well, sometimes anyway. :evilgrin:

[Shell Beau]

2. Was that you at the party?

:P

[QueenOfCalifornia]

3. My 2 kids seem to never shut the fuck up

they are 6 and 7 and I swear to gawd, they talked to me all day today without coming up for air. I know I had a terrible hangover and my ability to cope was compromised but I haven't had a moment of peace until they fell asleep... Shhhhhh!

And yes -- I have met adults like you describe... It is scary.

[AlCzervik]

4. Jesus Shell!

carry that around with you.

[DS1]

5. Yes

it was incredible how much talk about nothing came out of this 98 pound blonde

[Shell Beau]

9. OMG! She was a 98 lb. blonde!

Was her name Margaret by some chance?

[DS1]

17. Michelle

oh well

[Shell Beau]

18. Aw! So close!

:P

[johnnie]

6. Yeah

There was this chick I knew on a website that was really cute, but she wouldn't shut up about people she met that wouldn't shut up. She went to a get together but was completely unable to socialize because this one gal wouldn't shut up!! And she just couldn't be mean and leave her hanging! AAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!

[Shell Beau]

10. .

:P

7. Use Calvin Coolidge's advice

"If you keep dead still they'll run down in three or four minutes." Works for me!

[Shell Beau]

11. I swear I tried that! Finally, "I said I gotta go to the bathroom", just

to get out of there, but she said "ooooohhhh, I gotta go too". I couldn't get out of that situation to save my life. At least without being bitchy. I deserve a cookie or something!

:P

[libodem]

8. yep

My ex-SIL. Poor thing is bi-polar. She was really bad this summer. She would come into my mom's house, with the current crisis of the day, and proceed to get uncomfortably close in my personal space, and start to spew. She had that classic flight of ideas, and forced, pressed, urgency, with the delivery. She was loud, boring and repetitive. She'd tell her story and turn right around and tell it over again, like I didn't get it the first time. Man, don't remind me. Ewwwweeeh. It IS hard to leave 'em hanging, though.

[Shell Beau]

12. It really is hard to do that to them. It makes me feel mean. But I want

to say SHUT UP! Just shut up! Please. Take a breath or something!

[halobeam]

13. you hit a sensitive area with me.

I usually talk too much when I go to a social gathering, mainly because I get out about two times a year and I spend most of my days alone. I guess it's out of loneliness. I've stopped doing that though, because someone was so brutally outspoken to me about shutting the fuck up already, that I say just about nothing now.

I think it was nice of you to have stayed with her and wasn't mean. Trust me, you may not have had the night you probably wanted and deserved, but you most definetely gave someone else an ear that they probably needed. At least they won't go home feeling more lonely.

[Shell Beau]

16. I have met this gal before and she wasn't so talkative.

But in general, I don't care for chatty kind of people. Just my preference. I don't like spastic people either (in general). It is just different types of personalities and all of that!

This gal wasn't nervous! She was totally drunk. But still, I couldn't find that mean place in me to get up and leave. But I don't apologize for not really liking chatter-boxes! :shrug:

[halobeam]

19. sounds like two completely different situations

that we were in. Agreed that diff. kinds of personalities played a role in your situation. Some people can't stand bubbly people in the morning either! LOL. Hat's off to ya though, still.. for being kind! It matters.

[crim son]

14. Uh, yeah. My MIL. She can literally go on for two or three hours

without getting a freaking clue that she might be - how shall is say? - BORING AS HELL? One of her monologues included a story about one of her sisters (they're all talkers) whose DIL interrupted a conversation because she had to take a pee. The sister thought it was the height of rudeness. I was thinking, "Been there, done that." Seriously: this woman beats anybody I have ever known for verbal diarrhea. I ain't gonna miss it.

[NewWaveChick1981]

25. I feel your pain, crim son...

:hug: :) At least you're almost away from it. My MIL is still going strong, and I'm still married. The urge to put my hand over her mouth or shove a pair of socks in it is stronger than ever. :P

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. My dear Shell Beau!

I know people like that, and sometimes you just have to be rude!

I break in, and say...gotta go....Bye!

I get so if they call, I won't answer the phone...

I have no problem interrupting either...

Life is too damn short to deal with this crap!

Sorry, sweetie...:hug:

[Nailzberg]

20. I feel that way after ten minutes in GD

[SeattleGirl]

21. Oh yeah. Drives me nuts.

:banghead:

[RushIsRot]

22. My next-door neighbor is a non-stop talker, He cannot stand

dead air. I think many of his stories are the plots to TV shows he watched just hours before. I have caught him in at least one lie. No doubt there are many others just waiting to be exposed.

He came over claiming to have been infested by brown recluse spiders recently. I said he was "full of shit." He took umbrage at my remarks. He hasn't been around lately. I do not miss him.

[Guava Jelly]

23. I work with one

His nick name is Tootie McLittlebig
Tootie because he brags and toots his own horn several times a day.
There is nothing he isn't good at or can't do (ask him he will tell you)

Little Big because he is one of two major Bigots that i work with.
He isn't a racist he just hates Latinos, Asians, black people,and Homosexuals.
I got to hear about his new gutters friday..It was very captivating :sarcasm:
I would never go postal but i understand how some can :eyes:

[NewWaveChick1981]

24. My mother-in-law.

:yoiks: She's a nonstop yakker. :( She's a real downer anyway, but it's very difficult to be around her for more than five minutes. I stay away as much as I can.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

26. You must have met my sister.

My younger stepson can't stop talking either. When we have family dinners, I try to seat them across from each other. That way they can yak away without worrying about offending anyone.

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. Yes, I have a dear friend - love him to death - who talks constantly about nothing.

If it's a conversation about something specific, he does really well - he's very bright (I wouldn't hang with dumb people).

But when there isn't conversation, he feels the need to fill that empty space with any drivel that comes to mind - random reports on concerts he's been to, or stand up routines, or movies, or his family... and usually of no substance whatsoever.

Even subtle hints like me reading a book, playing the guitar, or walking into the other room, he never gets the hint to be quiet.

Love the guy, but I can only handle two days with him; and thankfully, that's about all we can ever squeeze out of our schedules for him to come to visit. When he leaves, I'm completely exhausted.

[SPKrazy]

28. yeah...

amazing really to see...
