that's the most practical title for my blog entries since i've started this thing. as aforementioned, i have little faith that people read this but here goes: have you ever found yourself speaking to a group of friends or to a class during a presentation, and then some eager beaver who has the MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD AT THAT MOMENT to say cuts you off to say their own thing and once they are done, things are sort of quiet because what they said wasn't actually the most important thing in the world at that moment? long question, but do you get it? (at this point, i expect you to nod--laugh at yourself if you actually nodded) and then when you graciously clear your throat to pick up your train of thought when it was rudely derailed find yourself not getting very far when that rmrmfhse--PERSON jumps on your tracks again to say something as equally as irrelevant as the last time? the reason i say this is that when i try to lead a club meeting for this specific club i hold a leadership position in, the other person who holds a leadership position with me always interrupts me mid sentence as if she could end it better. she refers to it as "finishing each other's sentences". and it's not only in the "professional" setting. personal conversations, she'll cut the other person off and create some tangent about herself to go off on, that probably doesn't even have anything to do with the original subject, but she just needs to talk. i don't know why. i feel like we need to go back to pre-k. "Little girl, PLEASE wait your [explicit] turn!" excuse me, i'm being incredibly rude. i should mention that this girl does have some good points. she's a very dedicated student and she's enthusiastic about most things she does. albeit those traits tend to manifest themselves in some negative ways (the constant cut-offs). anyway, there are also other negative things about this specific person, but i'll leave it at that. my other friends notice and ask don't i find this annoying and i say sort of and laugh it off, but honestly, i want to dropkick these kind of people. do you have experiences like these? how do you handle them? |
