Category: Let's talk
Hi all I was wondering about what things bother you most with conversations. I don't like being in a conversation when I run out of things to say and the other person is still not done talking to me. I also don't like it when I'm not done saying what I need to say and the other person ends either the conversation or the phone call. What do you guys think?
If it's text-based conversation, overusage of netspeak such as lol, OMG, rofl, or LMAO can get very annoying.
I hate lol with a passion! People use it as a reply often when they don't actually have anything to say. I can't believe they're really laughing out loud.
The thing that really bugs the crap out of me is when people use mobile phone text speak in internet conversations, like msn and the zone here etc. how r u? c u l8r. etc etc, god that's irritating. And yes I'm fully aware that everyone who has the slightest bit of git in them willl do that when they talk to me now lol. (Yes, I laughed while I wrote that, grin).
Another thing that bugs me is when you try to explain something to somebody during a convsersation and you do it the best you can and they want you to constantly repeat yourself.
Speaking along those same lines, if you are explaining something, and their only response is "hmmm," that tells me they're not listening.
Something that annoys me about conversations is if someone asks me a question and ends it with a question. For example, I have a friend that may ask, for example, "You've taken that class already? Yeah?" That really annoys me so much.
I find conversations in which people filibuster irritating, and it is also preferable to meif people don't try to speak at the same time.
Hi there, hmmm, several things anoy me. one is the chatting as if you're using a mobile phone, like someone said above. how r u? that bugs me. Another thing that's anoying is when you've said everything and the conversation goes silent, i'm talking about skype calls here. Oh if you're blind, i don't know if any of you have found this, but if you're talking to someone and they leave the room without telling you? gur'r'r'r'r'r'r pet hate of mine.
OMG! that last thing in the previous post happened to me a lot when I was younger.
haha, yeah. I'll be talking away, and no one is there. I hate that!
one thing that bugs me, is when i talk to people on here, and they take forever to respond, and by the time they do, i've already forgotten what i had said.
I can't stand it when someone asks me a question, and after I answer, they say, "really?" Well, if I just said it, then I meant it, so you don't have to confirm.
I hate about conversations
1 people who change the subject rapidly
2 people who change the subject with no warning and suddenly
3 people who have no substance when they talk
4 When half the time you are trying to talk to them, they don’t listen.
5 in the middle of what you say, they turn and talk to their buddy.
6 people interrupting (though, I am guilty of this myself, I am improving, though)
7 people who end the conversation when their buddy starts talking to them , and cuts you off with no warning. Then, when you interrupt them they call you out.
(it’s possible to have two conversations at once, and still be polite about it, I have seen it demonstrated to me, and I just loved how he did it.)
8 people who are either uninterested or hostile about what you have to say.
9 brief or unthought out answers.
I totally, very, muchly agree with post thirteen! Dam, that gets on my nerves!
I also hate brief and unthought out responses. And also, I hate it when people ask the same question over and over, or when you're talking to more than one person, and you just told some story once or twice, and one person wasn't listening and want you to tell it again. Then when you don't, they get pissed.
Or, when people aren't listening and they hear something interesting come up, so they jump in suddenly, and the whole story must be retold for them to understand.
Pay attention!
But I'm a conversationalist. I usually don't run out of things to say. There are some things that people say that just leave me speechless, but for the most part, I use anything I can to make conversation. And yes, the weather included. smile!
And don't even get me started on shorthand and spelling errors. It makes me want to stab people with a safety pin sometimes.
omgomgomgomg!!1!!!! i m teh 1337 mad skillz!!1!! pwnage! wtf lololol damn this bot s a n00b!
OK, how many of you can read that? My internet tenure has been full of that sort of thing, and since I try to use some semblence of proper grammar when I type, it is truly cringe-worthy.
Yes, I hate it when you are talking to somebody and there is nobody there.
Mine are:
1. When someone asks you a question that you know they're expecting a certain answer to it. Some examples are: "Do you know who I am?", "Did you miss me?", "Does this make me look (whatever?", or any questions that ask you to compare that person/their skills or anything else to someone else. You know they're hoping you'll answer possitively, but if you don't, they usually feel disappointed or hurt. I would expect that if one asks those kinds of questions, they should expect an honest answer. I would.
2. When you and someone else are in a conversation, and you make a comment or express your opinion and all they say is "yup" or "whatever". Even an "aw", or "I understand", or a smile or nod (and hopefully some comment related to that even to say "I don't know much about that stuff") is better than the other responses because at least I know they were paying attention.
3. When a person feels the need to swear or say hurtful things, especially when referring to or talking about another person. It's annoying when it's about an ex or a stranger, but it's especially sad when it's about the person's family member. I'm not saying nothing negative can be expressed about others, but it's when those talked-about people are being called names or being belittled, things like that.
4. When in an IM chat, when someone writes a few words at a time instead of one or several full sentences and then expects you not to take long to respond. It actually takes longer reading and trying to get what they're saying when they write like that, and then to respond to all that, of course it's going to take time.!
5. Those nudges on WLM. I don't like them physically, and I don't like them vertually either.
6. Also in text-chat, things like "lololol", "roflmao", and stuff like that. "lololol" doesn't make sense to me, and you wonder if that person would really be "rolling on the floor laughing their, butt, off".
About the nudges one, I took care of that one by turning that feature off for me. *smile*
There are several things that annoy me during a conversation. One when one person talks, and everyone or the other person just listens. Its too quiet, and the conversation is not mutual. Two, when I don't know the person that tries to communicate with me, and won't stop talking to me even after I told them that I don't want to talk. Three, whenever I walked into a conversation, and I don't understand what they are talking about, and then, they started asking my opinion. I don't feel good when people repeat the whole story just for me. Another thing is when I leave the conversation and then I forget to say something to the person, and by the time I'm far away from the conversation, I suddenly remember that I had to mention some things. Last but not the least, one that really annoys me is when I walked into a conversation, and people are talking about negative things about other people. I don't like backstabbing conversations. I think people should be more upfront when they communicate with others because it saves them time. They just have to let the person know that they have some issues with them. They don't have to go to other people to start something. What comes around goes around. Effective communication is the key to understanding.
Definitely don't like it when I'm not allowed to finish my thoughts. I also don't like having to approach people for that first convo (like on a website. I never know what to say & end up feeling stupid.
I hate when you are talking and people just don't listen like they yeah ok.. God that really irritates me!
What does all that slang mean? That's just nuts how people practically invent their own language out of English slang. The thing I can't stand in conversations is when people start talking on their cell phone in the middle of your conversation. You'll be sitting there talking about something serious and then you hear them say, "So did you get my message?" or "Where aree you?" And then you go, "What?" and it turns out they're having this separate conversation all of a sudden. Phones nowadays are so sophisticated and you can dial them and everything without them making any sound at all and you can even fool sighted people if you have the Bluetooth earpiece constantly connected to your face.
Talking to someone and nobody's there? I've never done that.
I love making the first move in a conversation. Especially when it's someone I don't know. It's so exciting!
And about slang and new lingo, I don't even bother to learn that snozshwozsh anymore. It's pointless, and I'm sure I can go the rest of my life without knowing it.
ok does this happen to anyone velse? you msn or txt someone and you write this long paragraph and they write 2 words back. it's like, lol did you even pay attention to everything i just wrote or are you brushing me off.
Yeah, I know! I always have that happen with this one particular person on MSN. It annoys the crap out of me!
The thing I hate most about conversations is when I'm not done talking and the person hangs up, and also when the conversation is about one thing, and the other person I am talking to comes out with something totally different that has nothing to do with it! Omg especially if it's something serious!
Okay, my pet peevs!
1. When you are on MSN and someone sends you ten consecutive messages to say one thought, or sentense, it makes me crazy, and I hate when they still do it after i nicely tell them not too.
2. When you are talking to someone, and you constantly hear them say "Yeah yeah?" and at times, when you are in the middle of talking, which shows they don't care, and are not interested
3. When you are done with telling them said things, and they just fluff off what you said, and go on about themselves for 5 hours. I have one friend like that, and they wonder why i never call. LOL. Other than that, not much can irritate me.
