That works better if the serial yakker is also a vampire...

Clifford...wow that is one motivated conversationalist. Thank goodness for those cheap earbuds. Jbow, Rain, I don't like the loud either.
 
 I work at a place where there are undoubtedly some of the prettiest girls you ever will see. Now I am happily married and well past any interest in looking for any more than the occasional glance at one who stands out a little but even then I only glance appreciate and move on. I am here to get something done and stay out of trouble lol......OTOH my coworker REALLY appreciates some of the views here and he says it LOUD in the summer with the windows open. We are moving along at 5mph with no other noises around and he will say LOUD, man did you see the ***** on that one or wow! look at the **** on her, she could really put a hurtin' on ya........when he does that I want to go hide somewhere, I know at least a few surrounding people heard it and I would really like to keep my job know what I mean?  One of these days I am afraid it will get us into some trouble. I think he is slightly hard of hearing and I have hinted that he may want to tone it down a little bit.

You know we have some one in our office who just does not know how or when or why to shut up.......the mouth goes and goes and goes and goes......it doesn't say anything.....but it still goes....

90% of the time she does not know what she is talking about....does not even have a clue ...but that does not stop the mouth from going because "she is the expert"...

One time while she was talking to me and I could not stand it any more I just blurted out...."GO AWAY!"..............and still the mouth kept on going!

Next I said" SHUT UP!"..............and the mouth kept on talking as if nothing had happened....

I walked back to my desk, sat down, put some ear phones in, turned up my MP3 player and the mouth stood there and kept going for an additional 10 or so minutes!!!!!  Did not even get the hint!!!!!

unreal.......totally unreal.......

I've watched her start a conversation with one person, and when a different person walks by she will drop the first person and take up where she left off while walking behind the 2nd person......and this continued for an hour or so.....going back and forth between different people with the very same conversation.......

Now a days I just walk straight pass her, don't say a word cause if I do.....I will be lucky if I can get away with in the hour.....

So my advice....just walk away....they may not even notice that your gone!

Clifford

funny you should say that.  we have one in our office as well.  and his name is Tom.  but we all call him "Cliff" 
 
not after you, of course, but after Cliff Claven from Cheers! 

A fun game is to keep some extra socks in your jacket pocket then stuff one after the other into the mouth of the offender...

(Ok, yeah, I'm kidding, but you have to admit it makes for an entertaining visual, ya?)

Don't ya'll have anyone in charge there? I mean like a BOSS who can fire people who walk around and talk instead of work. Geez...

A few heaped tablespoons of this in his morning tea might shut him up.... 

  

Julien, you are soo much like me, it's scary. Each time I read one of your posts where you express some sort of feeling or emotion, you're me to the "T"! Or wait, maybe I'm you. LOL!

I must admit I'm a talker, but only when I'm talking about something important, something I feel strongly about or something that is more of a lesson or a teaching so to speak. I'm not one of those guys that interrupts or keeps going on and on, but I do get a little excited sometimes and really get into whatever I'm talking about. I'm sure it may annoy some people but I don't try to. Sort of like my message comments here. I know quite a few people see comments from me and just never read. Sorry about that...but oh well. 

Julien, all I can say is God bless you man. I really don't think I could be married to anyone like that. No offense to your wife at all, honest, I just don't think that would be something I could handle "forever". I once met a gal years ago. One of the most beautiful girls I ever dated. As beautiful inside as she was out. Great family values, Italian and all that goes with it (good cook, overly affectionate, caring for others more than herself, religious and spiritual but not a fanatic etc) but she had this problem I just couldn't deal with.

She could talk and used a circular breathing technique with it. I literally used to say "breathe woman, breathe!" LOL! But, as much as I try to ignore this flaw, it really tested my patients in many aspects of life. Sometimes when driving to a place, I like to take in the view...the awesome scenary, the aspect of driving and I don't like to get super deep in a conversation to where I have to try and pick my places to jump in to say something.

When going to a movie or watching a movie from home, I always and I mean ALWAYS had to see it again when she wasn't around. I don't watch much TV but when I do, I like to really get into it and experience the story. Impossible to do when she was around. I couldn't even rest my eyes without her wanting to touch me or talk about something. It just got to be too much so one day, I told her about it.

I tried as hard as I could to tread softly but of course it started a fight and then my flaws were brought up...which of course, you know, I really don't have any anyway...lol....just kidding. :) But I sincerely don't think I do anything (other than work a bit too much) that would annoy someone enough to not want to get involved with me. But I wasn't the problem here....and she sort of was trying to involve me.

Needless to say, we decided it was best for us not to see each other anymore. It's a shame really because the chemistry was there and I may regret it someday. But I just couldn't deal with it as much as I tried. I love to talk....I love to communicate, I don't mind a woman badgering me or needing to talk, I don't mind starting my time with her saying "so how was your day dear?" and meaning it while wanting to be involved in her world. I don't mind the "time of month" emo sessions and am always extra affectionate during those times. Heck, if I had that for 5-7 days and had horrible cramps and didn't die, you better believe I'd be one emo person with a chip on my shoulder. LOL!

But that said, I think there comes a time when too much talking and not enough breathing is just a nuisance. It really pains me to say that, but it's how I feel. After a while, something needs to be said. I tried to be nice while maintaining honesty. I'd rather go out knowing I tried and talked about a situation over just settling/dealing with it and hating every moment. I think anyone in a situation like this to where it makes them cringe, needs to just try and communicate. Sometimes people can't see their own flaws. I don't like to annihilate a person's character unless I feel backed into a corner with no other choice. I know I wouldn't like it. but how else can you mention this without really hurting someone deep? Be that as it may, I would WANT the women I end up with to talk to me if there is something that she finds highly annoying.

I met a girl one time that really hated smoking. I told her I enjoyed smoking but promised to never do it in front of her. I was so true to my word, I think I only smoked a few times in the 3 years I dated her while at a party or something outside. She never saw me light up but once and she allowed it lol.

So I have no problems accommodating someone, but sheesh...it's nice when you can speak your mind and you get a little help from the other side instead of a reverse attack. God bless anyone that can handle this sort of thing...because as much as it pains me, I so cannot no matter how hard I try. Everyone has different thresholds for how they take something...this is one thing I just have a problem with. :(
 
Starise, I say communicate if possible while being as kind as you can...if it fails, and continues to bother you, it's time for something a bit more honest and straight to the point. Sometimes you even make out pretty good in situations like this. I had a friend that cried all the time that he couldn't get girls. One day I told him "you need to fix your teeth bro, (he could bite a sandwich from across the room) your speech is very lazy, (we found out he was near deaf in one ear) your hygiene is not very good, you're drunk and obnoxious all the time and some new clothes and style would really be a plus."

He got braces and fixed his teeth, he had an ear operation, he went to speech therapy, cleaned himself up and did a total turn-around with the hygiene, quit drinking and really became the awesome person I knew he could be. Now I take advice from him. :) To this day, he thanks me for having the guts to tell it like it was...and let me tell ya, they were some of the most personal comments I had ever made to a person.

-Danny

He, he....wondered how long it would take for the Danziman to chime in on this....just a feeling ya know !

Don't ever change Danny - wouldn't want you to be any different. In fact, it's as well for you that I don't live anywhere near ya or you'd never get any work done lol !

Personally speaking, I often wonder why Mrs Paulo starts every conversation we have with ...."you haven't listened to a word I just said, have you?"
