when you're talking in a group of people
(3 or more) and someone just talks directly over what you're saying like
person 1: oh yeah the giraffe stood up once and....
person 2: *gets surge of inspiration* ah have you seen that elephant sit down!?
fucking annoying. excuse the horrid example

Sounds pretty funny tbh
I've been used ot this my entire life
esp people taking a word mid sentence and running with it.
In the end I ended up developing this habit where I would trail off mid-sentence waiting for someone to pick it up..
When I started hanging around people that weren't wankers I think they thought I was suffering from some kind of respiratory illness
agreed
there's just this one guy who does it all the time, so frustrating.....i just walk away when he does it to make a point
what pouncing on your sentences?
or the mid sentence fadeout?
The fadeout isn't intentional...we fadeouters don't realise that we're doing it! :(
when two people talk to you at once it's worse:
who are you meant to listen to you? are people so damn stupid that they are unaware that another person is also competing for my attention? it's a hard situation.
This happened really badly today with 2 people asking me questions simultaneously
Despite me being mid-conversation with one of them. I felt really awkward and kind of killed both conversations off by just saying "er... yes .. to both of you"
It generally means that either
a) You hang around with twats
or b) Your friends think you're dull.
or c) you're at work and can't choose who you have to speak with to pass the day
just bayonet the bastards
mentally i mean, then your anger will subside
i talk over people all the time
but i'm a proper cunt. That's my excuse
fair dos
LOL proper cunt
When I move to London, phrases like this will crack me up all the time.
It happens to me only when I am telling long stories - people have no patience.
