people who don't listen and take over conversations...
Grrrrr rant ha ha!
You know when you talk to certain people and, say for instance you have just come back from a trip overseas or purchased a nice car.. What is it with some people, as soon as you start talking about your chosen subject they cut in straight away and tell you about their own experiences which were years ago etc...
"Oh yeh well when I went there about 9 years ago it was all different blah blah blah"
I just want to say "shhhh ffs I started this conversation"..
Grrrr Friday rant!

........yeah, so in any case, did I tell you about my new car?
Like that?
Yeah, p1sses me right off, a chat in the tea bar in work is like a battle of the voices. I just sit there and laugh at the rudeness.

That's NOTHING!
A few years ago I was chatting about something and someone started chatting about something else when I wanted to chat about what I started chatting about and all they could do was to chat about themselves and what they were chatting about when I started chatting in the first place why don't they just stop chatting and let me chat for once!!

I hate it when someone asks you something and then as your lips part to start a reply they keep asking more inane **** and then when you do explain they ignore your input and come to a completely wrong conclusion and ignore your advice, ******.

My wife's aunt does that, then comes back with "Now", in other words I am not listening, I dont understand or am bored and will now launch into a conversation where I talk at you and expect a responseo a quiestion for which you have no context.

THAT I can handle, I tend to either loudly say "Blah blah blah - I was first" or just walk away.
What boils my **** is when you're having a conversation with someone and a third, retarded, rude, ***** walks in and starts talking to the person you were talking to.

I consider it to be extremely bad manners to butt in on a conversation and cut the original person out in favour of their own subject.
I used to get really annoyed when someone did that but I have learned how to butt back in immediately and re-establish the subject which was being discussed originally.
You have to catch the self important fellow off guard and the quicker you do it,the less likely he will be able to hit back!

haha touchy subject.
a guy at my work, no matter what you story of ANYTHING, has "big mate" who, has, 50bhp more, battered more guys, shagged more birds, been in more accidents, knows more gangsters, has more money ect ect. its nod your head and close your ears time lol.
my other "big mate" lol has however turned this trait to his advantage and makes v good money out of it.
he told me people love to talk about themselves, so when teaching his profession first questions are all about the customer, where are you from, what do you do, and then latches onto any info hes given to continue said person talking about themsleves. he proceeds to be quite, praise there acheivments, ignoring it all, and they walk away
feeling very happy.
and come back again lol
