Newsroom Loudmouth

[Signature on File]

What do you do when you are in the newsroom and having a conversation with another.... and from across the room......Mr Know-it-all jumps into your conversation with an opinion or comment. It's like this person has super hearing or something, and listens to everything anybody says and has to add his 2 cents.

[amp]

Listen, if you aren't going to take the wisdom, that I gleened over these many years, which I am giving at no charge, your loss.

[JoinUsForCake]

Well, SoF -

What I don't do is cry about it on an anonymous internet message board.

You're not in middle school are you?

I know one guy who does that all the time. It's so annoying.

I won't fault you for posting on an anonymous message board. Why does anyone here post anything at all anyway? My viewpoint? Keep your conversations low (I know you said superhearing), or simply ignore him and keep chatting with the intended audience. If he walks over and insists on being heard... do what my girlfriend does, and leave. This is her method of dealing with interruptions.

Joinusforcake......I'm sorry that I insulted you by disclosing your weakness. Now stay out of my conversations.

[Tripe Face]

Those of you who think you know it all really annoy those of us who do.

Stop it.

[ISTHISTHINGON?]

Here's how you stop it. When you notice he/she pokin' the ole' nose where it don't belong...you start talking about them. Snicker here, snicker there. When they bite...you high five the guy you're talking with, have him pay you five bucks(which you give back later)....then look at the loudmouth and say "Thanks man!"

And apparently, afterwards you slide into the Dukes of Hazzard Car and drive over to the Crow's Nest.

If this is a problem you feel live venting about, may we switch places? You have a charmed existence! Lets hear about real problems instead.

Actually... when your conversation is so loud that it interrupts what I'm doing, I feel OBLIGATED to chime in...

[Signature on File]

We finally got the fellow to start chewing gum....that shut him up.

[Grotto]

Just be glad it is only one person butting into your conversations.

Usually the ones who think they're being quiet are generally the ones that aren't. What I mean is... you might think you and your co-worker is being quiet, but the truth is you're most likely talking louder than you think.

In my opinion, if a loud mouth is going to talk loud enough to distract me and others around the room - then me and everyone else as the right to assume that you're speaking to everyone as a whole and thus we have a right to voice our opinions.

If you and your little friends at work want to sit around and gossip and have little girl talk then take it outside and away from other people.

Besides, you're paid to be working - not sitting around talking and gossping.

[The Mockingbird]

(butting in)

You and your co-worker ARE being quiet, you mean.
