Hmmm... people who talk about the same thing over and over Options

[Uronacid]

Alright,

So there is this woman I work with. Her name is Julie. She has a Husband who is in IT at a different company. He specializes in Citrix servers. His name is Sam. Now, I'm happy she loves her f**king husband but sometimes I just want to choke them both with an Ethernet cable . Every day she calls me and leaves me a voice-mail asking me to come over to her desk and make her computer run faster.

I know that there is nothing I can do. Her computer is dog fucking slow. It's slower than a sloth when it's taking a shit. So, I literally walk over to her desk, stand next to her, and fake it. She talks to me as I pretend to fix her PC, and some-how some-way she always finds a way to drop her husband into the conversation. I find myself literally trying to avoid the topic of her husband, but no matter what I do he comes up in our discussion.

Every day I imagine myself punching her in the mouth as her husband's name is escaping her lips. Instead of punching her, I smile and listen.

Ah Josh, have you not discovered the art of interruption and the subtle change of subjects?

You'd begin with "Oh! That's nice, hmm, you know, my girlfriend... blah blah. I had so and so for lunch".

Or if you don't want to talk: "Well, good for you (for whatever reason use sarcasm)".

Or, just say "this shit needs all my concentration." AND DON'T SMILE AY HER... smiles are encouragements. You're basically telling her "please go on with your story"

Oh, I try. Believe me, I try to change the subject. It's become a battle for me. Almost a game. I like I said, "I try to bring up subjects that lead away from her husband Sam, but they always end up in his direction."

There's this girl at my work that talks about the paper route her and her husband always run. Somehow, there's always a different story. "We broke someone's windshield", "the Thanksgiving paper is HUGE!", "it took us 3 hours to run 2 streets", "they gave us free granola bars in the bags, but the bags ripped, so we just kept all the granola bars", vagina, vagina, vagina. Seriously, I could probably run her paper route without even seeing it.

There's this other girl that's okay...sometimes. She'll tell stories, but she repeats herself so many times. Like, if she's sorry, she'll explain her side 14 times in an hour.

[*jeanna*]

idk maybe just tell her she repeats herself or say

"you know what i hate? when people bring someone or something up all the time. you know anyone like that?"
haha

Thank you, I know exactly how you feel. Wouldn't you just love to shove a news paper up both thier asses?

[rnicron]

For sure.

[Uronacid]

For sure.

You can borrow an Ethernet cable if you like.

This happens when people get drunk at parties. They talk about the same thing over and over and over.
Since I am usually DD I have to listen to these people while I'm sober, and it is pretty gay.

My fiances dad taught me a trick and it works every time, for me anyway.

Pause what your doing on the computer and look directly at her when she talks to you. Slowly start to sniff your fingers, like they smell of something intriguing. Keep doing that glancing between your fingers and her face.
If she notices you at all this should throw her off enough to at least let you change the subject. Anytime she talks about her husband start to sniff your fingers again.

[hypnotique]

Theres this girl I have in my American History class that always talks about her sister who is 15 years old and dating a 26 year old man.

I get it already your sister is a moron,and shes irresponsible but talking about it 50 times isnt going to save anything.

[EddieV]

Tell her to buy a new computer, lol.

My friend Qua'sha always tell me the same things over and over. I like "Do you have all timers? You told me this yesterday". She sits beside me in my Physical science class and I hate when she gets in my face telling about her boy problems, again repeating the same thing over again, plus her breath stinks . I love the girl to death and all but she really work my nerves when she do that.

No, no. Leading away is still not good enough. Be as sarcastic as you can, keeping it polite, of course. Tone is everything. Also, if you're desperate, just don't talk and if she gives you trouble for not talking... just apologize and tell her the work she asked you to do takes concentration.

DON'T SMILE AT HER.

Ha ha, okay I'm sure you've tried. Some people are just lonely though. If she talks about her husband all the time like that, I wouldn't be surprise if she has some insecurities with him.

ROFL

i almost fell off my chair. in hysterics. ha ha

[LoveToMySilas]

Reminds me of this guy I knew who used to tell the same story over and over again without realizing. There are times that I wanted to just tell him straight out that I've heard it for the 578495 time...but that would be rude.

Probably, she does seem a bit clingy. They've been married for years though. You'd think it would clear up by now.

O M G!

I had a teacher who instead of teaching, talked to us about her f**king personal life!
She talked about her sons, one's an idiot the other is a living dictionary. She talked about her Italian husband, about her bestfriend who has cancer (she eventually died ><), she talked about have a C-section and how the doctors brought out her first child. Then she talked about how her second son's head really tore her vagina and how the doctors had to sew it back.
Then she talked about how after giving birth, she had some weird vaginal-smell. How sometimes she bled.

She talked about this ALL THE TIME! It's been 2 years since she last taught me and I still remember her sons names (Christophe and Michael). WE KNOW HER LIFE STORY BY HEART! We even had a barbecue in her house at the end of the year.

JESUS f**k!

Later on, she went into a huge depression. ><

Dude, do what I used to do with Alexa. Get into a groove where she is the one talking and all you have to do is say "uh huh" "no shit" "Yeah, I hate when that happens" etc...so forth. When you get used to half-listening, the other half of your brain can go anywhere you want. Re-watch a movie, listen to a song, or, if your co-workers got a nice enough ass, spank that shit a few times. Try it out, it works for me. I didn't only do it with Alexa, I do it with everyone who is talking about something I've lost interest in, including sometimes you buddy. haha. Every time you talk about technology, ggggggggggga gaaaaaaaaaa..........I'm on a beach, smokin weed, I'm laying in the bushes and hissing at people who show up right before they get shot. So try it out brother and get back to me.
