I’m revolting against the non-stop talkers. It’s all day with these people telling their long boring stories and I’ve had enough. America doesn’t just have an over-eating problem, it has an over-talking problem and the verbally obese are chewing the rest of the nation’s ear off. It’s often hard to spot an over-talker at first, but as soon as his/her lips move an escape plan must immediately ensue. Their stories just go in aimless circles with no end in sight. Don’t the verbally obese realize there is another person at the end of the conversation? Heaven forbid they even ask one question so the other person can feel part of the conversation. I’ve always been curious on how these talkers experienced so many stories when all their doing is yapping. I feel I’ve been gyped for I make it a point to keep my stories short and to the point. Just like recycling cans, I’ve done my part in keeping good conversation. In contrast, these talkers are verbally polluting this world leaving everyone else to suffer. As part of my New Year’s resolution to contribute more to society, I feel compelled to share the intricacies of how to spot an over-talker. Although subtle, try to avoid any of the following scenarios at all costs or else you’ll be just another victim. First, if you see a person in a crowd and their lips never stop moving, you’ve found the target, get out of there! Second, you see a flock of people flee shortly after meeting the target. Finally, if it’s any person over the age of 80. I realize if it’s a grandparent you have no choice but to listen, however if it’s not a relative, walk away or else you’ll be hearing yet another story about World War II or how much an apple cost during the Depression. To combat this epidemic effective January 2010, I will be implementing a new policy in that any story going over 4 minutes must be sent to me in an email. So, next time someone wants to tell me a long boring story about how they thought they saw David Spade one time but wasn’t sure, kindly type it to me in an email. This way I can read over the crap and get to the point in the comfort of my own home listening to good tunes instead of yapper’s.
