"And some person who you don't know has this kid, and her kid is so cute, and he does some stupid cute thing that you don't care about, blah, blah, blah... And then this guy at work is reading the same book as me, and so we talked about this book that you haven't read, and I asked if he'd rather be character 1 fro mthe book you didn't read, or character 2, or some other character you've never hyeard of, blah, blah, blah...."

ugh. I DON'T CARE.

the beauty of it is you don't have to really listen... just pretend you are. I have it down to a science. It take practices and she'll get mad at you till your good at it ^_^

Seems to just be their nature. Tho' as a male, developing the ability/tolerance to listen to this information w/o going insane is rather invaluable. :D

And all this while on the telephone, which precludes you from doing anything else because even though they are just rambling, God forbid they catch you not paying attention to the rambling!

I just like to talk! To satisfy this urge I talk about stupid stuff occasionally. Maybe some other women are like me.

It's not because we are dumb! :frown:

True, but it's still annoying.

Listening to girls like that is an art. Perfectly timed phrases such as "oh yeah?", "really?," "mmmhmmm," "wow he is a jerk," "you're totally right," "i can sympathize," etc. etc. usually take care of it. This way you can concentrate on other things while "listening"...they actually don't even have to be timed well, just throw em in there and you're "the best listener in the world"

thankfully i don't know many of these type...

I just go the John Nash route.

Seriously.

Or I bring a book, if they insist on talking. Otherwise it's straight to bidness.

You've got a crazy shut in backing you up. Congratulations.

"Uh hu... yeah... really... you don't say.. I told you that bitch was crazy! ... get out ... uh hu..."

"Did I ever tell you about the time... "
"Yeah you told me about the time! You already told me about the mutherfocking time!"

I noticed that for the most part, the more unintelligent girls that i know (not saying they are outright stupid) talk more about stupid crap that really begins to bother me. the more intelligent girls talk about more interesting stuff... not even intellectual stuff, just more interesting stuff to listen to.... it even makes it more interesting the way they word things and how they say stuff...

but yes, sometimes girls ramble about insanely stupid crap... and that's

Judging by much of what I see posted here,I'd say you dudes have a nerve to complain:)
LOL, but deciding whether the Neverending Story should be remade or if I should go to the doctor for my broken arm is important! ;)

Yea, just don't space out on the phone. Its always fun answering a question when you don't know what the hell you've been talking about and you answer "yes" to something you should have answered "no" too.

Wahoodo.

It makes you wonder why guys call girls if all they hear about is stuff they don't want to hear about eh?

That only works if they dont slip in something you are expected to remember, even if it is trivial. Then you get the "
You never listen to anything I say!" speech. "I told you 2 weeks ago that so&so saw such&such movie, REMEMBER??"
