How long can you listen to mindless conversations before you start wanting to rip your own ears off?

IMHO, getting into a conversation with most people is fun for about five minutes. Then I’m more than ready to go do something else.

That's about all I can take unless its joke telling and ball busting or talking about plans. I can talk all.day about art,movies and music, outdoors, mechanics or PCB layout for hours.

The news,politics, how's work, feels, some great episode of True Crime, or whatever dumb shit. After about 3 minutes I start to use any hidden psychic abilities I may have trying to make your eyes and ears bleed profusely.

@SW-User The worst part is they always expect more than a " oh wow", " oh cool", or " oh that sucks".

Dafuq more you want me to say? You're on some bullshit.

@MethDozer THIS. I say what I need to say, then I shut up. I don’t even know how to keep going on and on.

@SmartKat Decorative wording is exhausting and pointless. It's painful when people use three paragraphs for what can be said in one or two sentences.

@MethDozer people love to talk about themselves. Like I wanna hear about your kids and your trip down south, blah blah blah. Please go away. 😬

@MethDozer Will you marry me? (J/K - but damn! Another person who thinks most conversations are boring and pointless! 😱)

MethDozer · M

@SW-User Yeah, save that shit for when we are drinking annotating cards.

Actually that sort of depends. Of you went on some adventure tell me about it. Show me the pictures. If you went to Chicago or NY to see a baseball game or a play there really isn't much of a story there. Happy you had a good time, but there isn't anything about it to talk about really. You went to a play and a baseball game. "Oh cool" now if you went to Alaska and followed the carribou for 8 days with Inuit guides. Well okay, tell me about that.

@SmartKat It's okay while doing something. I guess that's my thing. I don't consider me and you talking as doing something together. Lets do something and we can talk while we do it.

@MethDozer Then they haul out the pictures on their phone. Kill me now. 🤣

@SW-User Look up George Carlin people are boring on YouTube. I can't post it, but watch it.

SW-User

MethDozer · M

@SW-User Did you watch it?

SW-User

@MethDozer yeah most of it ....after a few minutes I gotta get the fuck outta there. 🤣🤣
