“hijackers who hijack meetings by discussing irrelevant topics”
This is true of people everywhere, at or outside of work.
I am so sick of people talking, talking, talking, without stopping for a split second to take a breath!
To megatalkers everywhere, SHUT UP - nobody cares about your trivia and the minute details of your lives!!!!!!!!!!!
And why don’t you ask about how myself or my family are doing, for once?
Sorry - now I have hijacked the topic. But I’ve come in contact with way to many of these loudmouths this week, and enough is enough. And if you’re a megatalker at work, that’s even worse, since you’re not doing your job.
I'll say! And cell phones have made it worse. Chatty Cathy has been cloned and now is taking over the world.
Yes, yes, a thousand times, YES! You'd think they'd pick up on our body language, like looking at our watches and staring out the window, but NO! They ratchet up the minutiae!
That’s my pet peeve, too. The ones who never shut up and never ask about anybody else. I used to have a coworker who, if somebody said, “My kid got an A on his report card,” she’d say, “Well, MY kid...” Or, “I’m going to Hawaii for vacation,” “Well, MY vacation...” Or, “I got into a car accident,” “Well, MY accident...” She never asked a question or commented about anyone else, ever. Every response, everything she said, was about herself.
