People who don't listen
« on: September 09, 2014, 10:20:03 am »
Have you ever talked to someone who just yaps and yaps and yaps and no matter what you say they don't really even respond to you but just go off on something total different like you are not even standing there.  But they are talking to YOU. lol???

Yes! It was at jury trial day....got stuck next to this guy who wouldn't stop talking to me. After lunch we sat near another guy who proceeded to do the same until he left and the 1st guy sighed and said to me, "Geesh, I thought he'd NEVER stop talking!"  Wow~it was a LONG day!

My mom didn't listen.  She was always thinking about what she'd say next.  Then she'd ask me a question that I had just answered earlier in the conversation proving she wasn't listening.  She also listened selectively, hearing only what she wanted to hear.  It was so annoying.  :angry7:

lol.  I was at work this weekend and I asked a customer the same question at least 5 times. She would sort of look at me and then go off in a crazy rant about something totally unrelated.  I am not sure if she had mental issues or was on something or just flat out stupid.  Then she turns around and says "I am not depressed".  Uh nobody said you were.  But if anybody cares - After this conversation I sure am :)  lol.

All the time. They want to be heard but could care less about what you have to say. My father is like this. Just talks over you.

lol.  You may think you are great and giving advice but every one may not agree.  I have noticed that there seem to be a lot of experts on my life.  It amazes me at how many people lately know exactly what I need to do.

One of the greatest compliments I have received was from my son...when he was, I think, about five years old. He looked at me and said " I have figured out why you are the coolest daddy in the whole, entire world...It is because you listen to me in the same way you do with everyone, young or old...you don't judge, and you wait until I am done talking.  When I am done you ask me questions about what I said before giving your thoughts.  You care". My wife complains that I listen too much. She listened to me talking to a client once and I asked about their Hairdresser's dog's veterinarian. Heck...if it was important enough to share with me it was important enough for me to remember and ask about.

I think a lot of people don't know how to listen properly.  Sometimes you have to scream to get your point across!  That is such a shame!  You may be missing something important without realizing it!

I have friend who is like that. The conversation starts out with "how are you" then "this is how I been". Yak, yak, yak. Then she gets a text and she starts texting. It's bothersome for sure. You'll never know me if you don't listen to me. Whatever. People are selfish. :-/

LOL you are so right, I work in an office were I have to answer support questions, and I have customers that call i explain how to do it and then they call back and ask the same questions.  Once we had a guy that wanted something done, and was trying to get away with it.  He called talked to me, I give him the reply he did not like what I said, waited about 2 hours called back and got one of the other guys that work here asked the same questions, got the same answer, got upset.  The next day called yet again, got the other guy that works here asked the same questions, got the same answer and asked to speak with a supervisor LOL.  The Manager (it is only 5 of us here) heard the question and told him that he was aware that he had called 3 times yesterday and the answer was not going to change, boy was he mad, he kept asking the same thing over and over to the manager and saying that he wanted the reply to be .... and he was trying to change the Manger's answer to what he wanted not what it had to be done LOL

I have an accent and sometimes they do not want to talk to me, let me speak to someone who speaks "english" LOL, like I said we are 5 people at this office, 3 indians, 1 asian and me the Spanish one, so I gave him the option, so he stuck with me, LOL
