Do you ever feel like some people you talk to aren't completely there?

[Gunslinger08]

You ever get that feeling with someone, everytime you talk to them? Like you're just having a very superficial conversation that they aren't really concentrating on at all.

Huh?

 

[IronWing]

Huh, what was that?

Yes. I dislike it, greatly.

 

[sonambulo]

Yes. Those people are called 'management.'

 

[Fritzo]

Every single person I talk to on the phone at work.

Every....single....one.

Constantly. 😉

But there are more effective ways to get through to them besides verbal communication. 😉

 

[Strk]

Yeah, but I usually end up ignoring those people. I've been told I can be a jerk....

 

[xanis]

Usually I'm that person. 😛

Yes I work with a lot of them every day. Everytime the person open his mouth, i realized how stupid he is and got me thinking "jesus christ you're dumb, please stfu"

 

[Sqube]

Of course. It's called "polite conversation".

 

[Soundmanred]

They aren't "there" because they don't want to be there.
i.e. - with you.

Holy shit, same thing here. I don't let conversations sidetrack me from my primary objective. I've been told I have a one track mind.

Yes for the love of God yes.

My uncle got me started on an interesting theory, there are two kinds of people in this world. Those who are "there" and those who aren't. Some people are just vapid, and they're fucking hardwired vapid, there's nothing you can do about it but nod and smile politely.

I don't have that problem, 'cause I don't talk to people.

..ya. most liberals are on something these daze. dope,prozac,ritalin,valium or some form of SSRI or some kind of shrink drug. Or exhibit symptoms of head banging.

 

[zmaster]

yea had that experience when i hosted a barbecue recently. one of the chicks that pitched up (uninvited i might add) was just zoning out of the conversations. i tried getting her into the conversations we were all having, but she was just completely somewhere else.

 

[Eeezee]

I do this to others all the time without immediately realizing it, so I'm sure others do it to me, too.

 

[Shawn]

Yeah, people never know when to shut up.

 

[TridenT]

Sometimes I am like that. I think everyone is to an extent. You just have something else on your mind.

gotta love the conservative obsession with hating liberals. anything and everything is about the damned liberals. it's the liberal obsession with "the man" or big business oppressing everyone, but replaced with "liberals". I wish I could get royalties on tinfoil hats, I'd be a bazillionaire from sales to both sides.
