They go on and on and on, you have something to say, but they won't shut up, so you can never get your word in. People do that at my work so much that they just start interupting each other. My goodness, SO ANNOYING. I do my best not to interupt, but I get quite impatient waiting for people to shut up!!

I know how you feel. My WIFE is the same way. The only thing you can do is break into the conversation, or walk away. Nothing else gets through to those types. Sorry.

I know exactly how you feel! It is a terrible bore, but sadly, there's not much you can do. This sort of person isn't really interested in what anyone else has to say anyway. They just like the sound of their own voice. I usually just sit there and imagine them in a tutu or some other absurd getup. Once in a while they shut up long enough to ask what I'm smiling about, but they never hear the response. LOL!!!

I have a dear friend like that. She won't even stop talking when I try to interject and talk over her. So two of us are talking at each and I'm not listening to her and she's not listening to me. If I can even get half a sentence in, she'll interrupt and go on about something totally different.
I love her, but email is a heck of a lot easier because she doesn't babble.

I know exactly how you feel. we had someone over the other night. And talk the entire. Two and a half hour's. It's like he didn't even bother to ask us any question's. Maybe one or two of each of us but. He just talked about himself the who entire time. I was glad there was other's their. But he was the most selfish person i've ever known.

I have a care giver that talks nonstop. When I want to say something. I say, "excuese me, I need to say something." Then I say it. But, people that monopalize the conversation are the rude ones. They need to be put in their place. You can do this nicely. Just simply say, "When 2 people are talking, both get to speak, I think it is my turn now." If they continue to be a chatter box. Tell them to join a debate club.

Just put your hand up - they should stop talking for two seconds -and ask if it's alright to get a word in edgewise and remind them, there is more than one person in the conversation.

It is annoying but there is a good thing about that kind of people - at times when you don't want to talk, they will do all the talking.

yea, it really annoys. But someone should tell such people that talking a lot does not prove that you are knowledgeable. & also remember that a good speaker is not always a good listener, but a good listener proves to be a good speaker".

Sounds like many people I know. It is hard to be around people who think what they are saying is the most int resting to everyone around. I think sometimes people who talk all the time feel they are never heard so they continue to talk.
BLAH BLAH BLAH, right?!?
