Mr. Life Story

May 17th 2007 16:20
I've been very annoyed for the last week, and I think I figured out why. For the last few days I've been in a class for work so I can be certified as a client support administrator. The military has certifications for everything!

Anyway, the guy that sits next to me in this class loves to hear himself talk. I call him "Mr. Life Story." I know all of you have been in the same type of situation, where you utter a few words to someone and they wont stop talking back. But this guy is a little different. This guy talks without prompting. I can be sitting at the computer, minding my own business, and he just starts talking...about whatever that comes to his mind. The first day I learned that he likes to golf, bowl, what's on his bowling ball, what basketball teams he likes, what he eats in the morning, how long it takes him to get to work, the last movie he watched, what he eats when he goes golfing, etc. Today he gave me the whole play by play of some movie, gave me all the news headlines, and told me what he was hungry for, which was a hot dog and A&W root beer.


I haven't said ONE word to this guy. It's amazing! Oh, and today I found out he is married with a kid! I feel so sorry for the wife!

I think that's the main reason I'm annoyed today...but here's a couple other factors:

- Drivers with no blinkers

- A guy driving the wrong way on a one way street

- Paris Hilton getting a reduced sentence

- Virginia weather

I find people like that amazing....and not in a complimentary sense....how can they carry on a 'conversation' when the other person isn't even speaking? I find it hard to be around people like that....I like to have the space to be silent, think, digest or whatever I need to do....

Concur with all of the above, and add on people who park their cart in the middle of the aisle in grocery stores...
