Excuse me YOU ARE TALKING IN PUBLIC!!!!
I am a social person- I like to talk at work. I am friendly. I do happen to hear and listen exceptionally well. I work in a normal, cubicle office environment. In our office everyone hears everyone else’s conversations. The general rule of thumb is if you are talking about it at work out loud and near your neighbors- you don’t care or mind interruptions- or other people for lack of a better term butt into the conversation. Hello- we work together it’s not like I am a total stranger and besides you are talking right next to me. Me and 20 other people can heard the conversation. Ok so I do understand it is an annoying habit to interrupt a conversation and I am working on not doing it so much. Still,- if people talk work, are not whispering it, and speaking loud enough for everyone to hear- I have a hard time seeing how a persona can object to having someone interrupt.
What brought this up? Well of course someone had to make a stink about it and about another co-worker and myself no less. I admit I inject into people’s conversations, but only if I have something to contribute to the conversation. It’s not like I am changing the subject- nor am I taking control of the conversation. I am being a friendly co-worker and trying to converse with my co-workers. Well apparently I am not wanted.
Ok I fine I can deal, but I ask that anyone objecting be big enough and tell me to my face- you really don’t appreciate it. I am an adult and will get the picture- stay away from the unfriendly don’t care to make friends with other people- person. Do you think this happened--- Of course not. To make matters worse the person who was complaining is a person who so conveniently calls me her friend when it suits her needs. I didn’t buy it before and I don’t buy it, now and why I should not be surprise that she would have something to say, it still is just like a pinch to the back. I am not rude to her. I do remain friendly, rather than call her out for the faux friend she is… but that is for another blog.
So moving on- So this person- who would and still does at time say were are friends, can’t even tell me to my face that she doesn’t care for this. Ok fine I can get over that- some people hate to have their conversation interrupted. Well rather than tell me to stop, she and the person she was expressing her issue too began talking about it in a hushed, but loud enough voice to be heard by others. Blatantly obvious!!! I was not the only one that heard her. While I get the feeling she wanted me to hear it but wasn’t sure that I had they begin to make fun of the fact that I can hear well, and always seem to over hear their conversations. Well ok- so I get the picture- I am nosy and interrupt too much. Fine, I will just stay away. I am a little hurt, but I am overstepping my boundaries- I can deal. I just will keep my opinions, answers, and assistance to myself unless asked. I just ignored the taunts and kept to myself. I don’t need to be where I am not wanted.
Well when they finally got the picture that I did hear but prefer to stay out they talk to me because they don’t want to have hurt feelings. But it’s not talk about their conversation they had, no its just fluff. So I use the manners my mom taught and don’t go tell them to get bent, or that I prefer to talk to so one who doesn’t talk behind my back, I answer their questions. But still feelings are feeling and my are not with them.
Ok I admit I probably was being annoying, but truthfully people- talking behind backs but loud enough for others to hear? Really people, just a little bit elementary-GROW UP!!!! This doesn’t even touch on the fact making fun of people for their attributes is just really childish. If people don’t want their conversations interrupted, don’t talk about it out loud, at work, and not expect people to interrupt. Is it too much to ask for people to be adults---- Hello- you were talking in public!!!
