Topic: I have a serious problem with interrupting people
beckyderp !4aMoRa.T2Q started this discussion 11 years ago#41,688
Some people talk so slow. And you know exactly what they're going to say, and it's either going to be wrong, or something you can say much faster than them. So I just butt in and interrupt. It's a really bad habit and I wish to break it, but I don't know how. Help please minichan, you're my only hope.
People who hem and haw and say predictable things need to be shamed for wasting other people's time and reminded that their feeble attempts to communicate are futile. Please continue your habit.

Thanks. I really cannot deal with slow talkers. They are the worst.

But you should not be encouraging me to continue interrupting people. It is bad.

What I meant was all women butt in and interrupt, not all women are slow talkers. Butting in and interrupting just means you're a normal woman.

Dammit, will you quit interrupting me? No I will not. Thank you!

Yes I fucking understood what you meant. I just wanted to verify that you really think that. Because I have had to interrupt NUMEROUS women already this morning who are non-interrupters and seemed aghast that anyone would try to make them get to the fucking point. It is painful.

people who lack the patience for polite conversation piss me off. my brother constantly interrupts me to do shit like change the subject or talk about himself or try and finish what i'm saying so HE can talk. he also sits there thinking about what he's going to say next rather than listening. are you loke that becky? are you selfish and rude and "important?"

I don't really change the subject and I don't talk about myself much. Generally I just want to finish THAT CURRENT CONVERSATION in a more efficient manner than the person I am talking to seems to think is necessary.
You must be a slow talker.

not really, and i get where you're coming from, i hate when people ramble and are uneccessarily detailed. but being interrupted, especially to have my thoughts finished for me, is enraging. it's a huge pet peeve of mine. i'll immediately start being insulting and rude myself and start Overtalking and basically force people who do that shit to shut up. i just keep right on talking louder and louder right over the top.
it usually pisses them off, as if completing my thought myself is insulting somehow. but fuck that, if i have to scream in your face at the top of my lungs i will finish my own god damned sentences.

Move somewhere where people talk faster, like for example, the perennially superior northeast. Thanks.

@OP
You are probably described as rude. Before friends and colleagues introduce others to you it's likely that they make excuses on your behalf. "You must meet Becky, she can sometimes be quite rude and is difficult to talk to, but if you get to know her... etc"
