Don't you hate it when...

[Rajah]

...you try talking to someone, and they never respond to a thing you say?

 

[daughter_of_amid_chaos]

its one of my pet peeves.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I think I best reply here.

 

[shep]

I'm used to it...

 

[Dopey Sharon]

or when you're talking to your mother on the phone and she's doing a crossword puzzle the whole time you're talking, she's interrupting you with, "What's a six letter word for..." or she's watching Jeopardy and playing along answering the questions while you're trying to have a conversation. Maybe I'm boring???

 

[Laurabearz]

My BIL always calls... here is how the conversation goes...

I answer the phone....

Hello

Oh Hello, Laura? It's G

Oh Hi G.... whats up?

Dead air...................................................................................................................................

G??? How are things going?

good............................................................................................................................................

crickets are chirping......

Can I do something for you???

Oh yeah.... the reason I called.... blah blah blah

Sorry, what'd you say??

 

[epcotfan]

I think my theme song should be, "Mr. Cellophane" ...well in my case "Ms. Cellophane"

I suppose I'm boring or invisible.

 

[SDAngel101]

I HATE that.. like when i send a PM to someone and they don't write back for like a week, but then i see him/her online hehe this is how i feel after that

Or AIMs, when they dont respond, or logg off right after i say hi or ask then a question

*hmm i hope they aren't trying to send me this vibe or hidden clue or something*

 

[DocRafiki]

I had a BF who was really bad at that. I would ask a question... dead air. So then I would get mad like he was doing it just to infuriate me! His excuse... I was thinking of an answer. How many times did I have to explain that in normal communication, there is a certain time span that is acceptable to wait. If you need longer, you need to say something to that effect... a "hmmm," something! I think it's a communication disorder, like people who don't have a concept of personal space

...you try talking to someone, and they never respond to a thing you say?

The first time I noticed this was when I was about 7 visiting my great-great uncle. I was yakking away at him, he was just sitting there looking at me, not saying a word. My mother told me later that he had turned off his hearing aid just before we arrived.

 

[mrsapalm]

So annoying! At least they can pretend like they are listening and nod their head (if they aren't going to respond). Or at least send a PM or email explaining that they are busy/held up/swamped and will get back to me later.

epcotfan: Thanks for bringing up that song... I did "Chicago" my freshman year at SFASU.... lovely memories.

[cotye]

LOL... It happens a few times when I talk to my best friend. Just so tired of just saying something and I hear no acknowledgement of what I've said. Shessh.... But I have to admit I'm sometimes like that with my mom....

 

[Boots]

Yes!! I don't know if I am being ignored or what!

 

[Beauty]

Do you know my husband?

 

[jsmith]

Oh I don't know-I live with a bunch of men (DH, 2DS's and the dog) and every last one of them will stand there and look at me while I talk and then have no idea what I said-that annoys the heck out of me

 

[A kid at heart]

The hubby ignoring you again huh?

 

[Beauty]

My hubby calls it "tuning me out!" Until I slap him!
