I once gave a woman a ride who talked so much, I had to roll the car window down three times just to let some of the words out.

High Pockets: Then what about Mr. Peabody? He can read and write, and he runs the newspaper.

Kaintuck: Yeah, and when he's drinking, why, he can talk the ears off of a woo-wooden Indian.

I have a hearing loss. Not stone deaf yet but getting there. I tell people I meet that I have difficulty hearing and that I might not be able to hear them if other ambient noise is present.
Waste of time. So... Rather than expect them to alter the volume of their voices just to accommodate me, I take on an interested look and just nod occasionally. I used to wonder if I missed anything, but evidently not. I also find that this technique works great for people (especially females) I can actually hear.

My Grandfather suffered significant hearing loss as the result of being an army scout during WWII. He learned to read lips and made some use of hearing aides. He often turned his hearing aids off when he became tired of chatter. I've always envied him this.

Im definitely with you there. We have a couple people like that at work snd I have to strategize to get important info relayed to them in order to “fit it” into their incessant monologue. It drives me nuts!

So true. Went to lunch the other day with some fellow retired partners from the Sheriff's Office where I worked. One guy showed up that I didn't know was going to be there. Obnoxious, long-winded, never asked a question-just ran on about himself. Just like I remembered him. Ugh.

My God, never go on a trip with non-stop talkers, either accidentally or un-knowingly.

You will commit murder 50 times.

At a local Pizza joint several years ago I heard a young girl (boozed up) talking non stop to her BF.

Patrons around her got their sit down meals changed to take out.

My hearing aids have a "mute" setting, referred to b the audiologist as a spouse switch.

I thought it prudent to abstain from sharing that particular item of nomenclature with my wife.

I used to work with a woman who taught herself to breath with her asshole because it wouldn't interfere with her talking.

I can't imagine why not? It's the best solution. Smile But then you hurt peoples' feelings.

Ugh. My new co-worker who's been here 3.5 weeks. We work in an office with 3 of us but have people coming in and out all day needing things and who get coffee and like to chit chat with us. Whether someone is talking to her or not, she interjects herself in their conversation and knows something about everything. She even turned around in her chair and listened to my side of the conversation the other day when my child's school called about my son needing some medicine for his headache. Ugh

My wife. Jeebus, she talks constantly. She DVR's all the tv programs then stops them to point out what effed up about the characters. I don't even want to watch Judge Judy, let alone hear a critique. Hearing loss is my only refuge, except now she shouts. OMG, I DON'T CARE WHAT PERRY MASONS'S CLIENT DID!!!!

More and more companies are buying into the "open office" concept because consultants are selling it as encouraging innovation and collaboration. Plus, it lets them show they can be hip and progressive, just like those tech firms.

What's not as well known is that "open offices" undermine productivity while allowing one sick person to spread their germs to the entire floor. Several tech firms have quietly reconfigured their offices to reinstall walled offices. Roll Eyes

You can have both when they're done right.

Some firms have them arranged in inverted pyramids, like a giant conversation pit in tiers, and while everything is open it's still quite quiet at the individual cubes.

But you have to build them that way and have the room, obviously.
