A bad mannered eavesdropper
Why don’t bad mannered eavesdroppers wait until they are asked, or at least until the people in conversation have finished speaking? This to me is a sign of an inner weakness.

If there’s one thing that I find really annoying, it’s bad mannered people who eavesdrop on a private conversation and then butt in at the most inappropriate time with some stupid comment.

| 07-11-2007 | I printed out J2R's gripe and left it on a co-worker's desk. An occasional eaves-drop does not bother me, but I have a co-worker who has made a career out of it. He even interrupts me when I am on a phone conversation to offer tidbits of info he thinks the person on the other end of the ph...more | Jamie |
| 05-11-2007 | A while ago I was in a resturant, talking with a friend about children and the upcoming birth of my child (being heavily pregnant is something that solicits advice from randome people anyway). Someone at a table behind us came over to our table and gave us HIS views on how I should give birth after...more | Mrs. A. |
| 19-9-2007 | To alaneroberts I say:
I think you if you asked the "butt-inner" why they did it, they quite probably would claim "a desire to 'help' one of their fellow human beings and (be) socially interactive."

| 19-9-2007 | I agree with you. I had a similar experience today, and feel the same things.
I had a colleague come to my cube today to ask a travel question, and before he could finish asking me the question, the guy in the cubicle next to me got up, butted in, and answered it. It was a travel question, and ...more | WorkInAmericanCublicle |
| 07-9-2007 | So? Why don't you slower your voice. I'm sick of loud-mouthed people talking in public. If you want a private conversation, turn down the volume. Easy really, but expect you're too busy sounding off. | Plato |
| 15-8-2007 | Having travelled to America recently, it is pretty much impossible NOT to eavesdrop. Americans are so incredibly LOUD when having a conversation. However, they are a great people having said that!
Humans are social animals and, in certain circumstances, it is quite natural to eavesdrop. Instea...more | alaneroberts |
| 11-8-2007 | RuuuEUuude, yes, but there are many people these days that are very-very... very lonely. And there those who are just plain dumb. As it is these days (in America) it's not English anymore so the few who can jump into another conversation will at the expense of idiotisy just to say hi.

| 06-8-2007 | It was silly of the person to give such a dumb answer,yeah, but if you were talking in a group of people perhaps the rude person didnt realise it was a conversation limited to just the two of you?
If you're in a group of people isnt it normally assumed that anyone can join the conversation at a...more | yoyo |
