Some People Don't Get It

Will someone please save me?  I'm sitting in my office with my Commander who will not shut up.  Now, I'm not talking about incessant chatter out loud.  No, this guy is seriously trying to hold a conversation with me.  Actually, that would be a misstatement.  Holding a conversation would actually entail two people to go back and forward, both speaking. 

 

But no, I was trying to do some work and this guy just starts talking to me.  Not giving me orders or telling me something I needed to make sure got done.  No, he was starting to tell me a story… out of the blue… with every freakin' detail, down to how much he paid for each taxi ride.  Don't think I was intentionally listen.  I have this uncanny ability to multi-task (read: I'm rewatching Heroes Season 1 right now).  Anyhow, he keeps talking and talking and talking and talking… and the entire time I'm staring at my computer, writing this blog, checking my stocks, reading emails, etc, without even taking the time to so much as look in his direction.  In my peripherals I can see that he is intently staring in my direction, still talking, and yet he doesn't have the slightest inclination that I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT CARE.

 

Everybody knows someone like this, so don't act like you don't.  What is it with these people… these yappers?  There is more than one in my unit and boy is it… annoying, to say the least!  Is there a function in their brain that doesn't allow them to see anything else around them?  Can yappers not recognize when no one is listening?  What's even worse is that these yappers will continue to talk when others are holding a conversation around them.  Or, as happened to me 3 weeks back, walking past a yapper somehow gave him the notion that I was ready to talk about UFC.  WTH?!  Ok, I'm getting mad.  I'm leaving.
