Ever Been Around Someone

[TN_Vixen]

that takes fucking forever to tell a story or relate an event of some kind? Jeee-SUS that is so damn annoying.

Instead of saying "I slipped on a banana peel and broke my ankle" you get...

I got up this morning and put on my ... umm.. green shoes after taking the black ones off because I realized it didn't match my slacks. Then I gathered all of my things together and finally made it to the car after the phone rang 3 times and I poured a cup of coffee. I drove to work thinking that I probably shouldn't have put on the green shoes, yknow? Because they'd just end up hurting my feet by the time the day was over anyway.. do you have shoes that do that to your feet? Of course you do, everyone does.. anyway, um, ummmm... oh yeah.. then I get to work and I'm walking towards the door -- my hands full of books and briefcase and coffee.. couldn't leave the coffee cause if I don't have my coffee in the morning I'm just a bear! hehehehe... umm... ANYway, so I'm walking to the door and I see something lying on the ground but I don't really pay attention to what it is- I mean, how often do you just stop and stare at something lying in the street anyway? hehehe.. yknow? Oh, ok.. so in my effort to sidestep this *thing* in the street, my heel of my green shoe slips on it and I go flying up into the air and land on my ass. (insert much laughing and subsequent laugh-tears being wiped as they proceed to gesture as to how they slipped and fell and how many people saw and who made a comment,etc. etc.) When I tried to stand up, my ankle was sore and wouldn't ya know? I broke it!

 

[Adoratrice]

LOl...have you been talking to my 10 year old son?


That is exactly how he explains everything. It doesn't matter how mundane or earthshatering the point he is trying to make, it always takes an hour for him to get it out!....God help me if he ever catches the house on fire , I'll be standing in a pile of ashes before he gets to "so then I stuck the fork in the light socket"

 

[Isolde]

My ex....I would have to sit there forever and he still never got to the point. Finally I just said "Do you have a point here or are you just talking because you like the sound of your own voice?"

He looked shocked but got to the point. He never did learn though...still went on and on and on when he wanted to say something.

 

[TN_Vixen]

Oh yes, it's true that children do tend to expound a *ahem* bit, eh?

but I was thinking more along the lines of adults.. or even say.. COWORKERS who drive you nuts? hehehe

get off my back, I'm on the rag

 

[DriveSouth]

And my 16 year old daughter is the same way .... yada - yada - yada -

 

[Guest]

A typical conversation with my mother-in-law

 

[TN_Vixen]

LOL

that was great dialogue indy. I could picture you sitting there with her at the kitchen table having this convo. *s*

 

[Iris]

Can't say I've had exactly that pleasure but I have a friend of a friend who suffers from Too Much Information syndrome. You ask him how it's going or some other social pleasantry and he'll explain how he's been constipated for the last 2 days but the laxative gave him the shits. I don't even tell my own mother that stuff for god's sake.

 

[CreamyLady]

How about asking someone how a movie was, and they instead give you a frame-by-frame account? They go on forever.

 

[Isolde]

On that note...I hate watching a movie with someone who has already seen it and insists on telling you 'you cant miss this part its important' or tells you how the movie ends or simply talks through the whole thing...Arrgghhhh...

 

[Nicole]

OHMYGOD Yes, I have a friend like that. You feel like shaking them and saying "GET TO THE FUCKING POINT ALREADY", luckily for me I don't need to be around this person often but when I am, let's just say I bite my tongue an awful lot.

 

[Xander]

How about asking someone how a movie was, and they instead give you a frame-by-frame account? They go on forever.

I usually duct tape their mouth, if someone starts pulling that shit on me.
Just ask my sister.

 

[Iris]

I could strangle friends who talk during movies especially at the theater. I have one who must think "Please observe silence during the show" must mean she gets to watch everyone else being quiet.

 

[Codger71]

With me, it's my sister..

She drives me up the wall with her interminable detail surrounding whatever little thing she's trying to relate.

I think we can agree - succinctness is indeed a virtue;-)

 

[Handy-Andy]

Yes , i have ..

I know what ya mean Vixen .

I work with someone just like that . He goes round the house's telling ya a story , in the end I just walk away from him but the problem is he follow's you , just spouting on and on and on......

 

[Siren]

Oh yea I know exactly what you are talking about...

 

[TN_Vixen]

Siren

*bitch-slapping you*

hehehehe

 

[Siren]

...and had loads of blueberries in them.......

 

[Cheri]

I'm queen of the one liners at work, but then again, you could have probably guessed that.

 

[TN_Vixen]

LOL Siren

um,what exactly constitutes a "bitch-slapping" anyway?

Is it a one handed thing or a two handed back-slap thing? Is it a slap with a twist or a slap in connection with verbal assault?

I never quite understood that term.


Cheri... well, taking your comments towards sparks-the-spew to heart.. yeah, I'd've guessed that.

 

[Siren]

Well Vixon, once I was in an argument with this girl and she

 

[TN_Vixen]

*laughing hysterically*

Siren? um... I like you even though I want to bitch-slap you like your second evil cousin that kept trying to "show me his if I'd show him mine"

 

[*bratcat*]

 

[Siren]

Well, to make a long story short......

 

[TN_Vixen]

Siren... *ahem*

what the fuck did you do with wolfy? did you smother him with your superfulous chattering? hehehe

kiss

Thank you for making me laugh so hard my stomach hurts.... despite the fact that I had the urge to utter horrible degrading obscenities to other Lit memebers during the course of this evening.

You are a jewel. I could learn from you......

but, um... not on the bitch-slapping thing. I suggest we contact a member to derive a "how to" on the bitch slap, don't you?

oh c'mon agree with me just once tonight you stubborn bitch.
