So tonight a lady & her daughter come in doing some holiday shopping. The Mother pays for her transaction and I notice the last name is familiar but don't think much of it until they start talking about her other daughter & her son-in-law. Ironically I know her son-in-law's sister & have been aquaintances/friends since sixth grade. So me and my big mouth I ask if I may interject if her son-in-law is so and so & she said yes how did I know? I went to school w/ his sister & I only talk to her really on FB but used to talk to her alot at her old job from a few yrs back as we were not tight but I know her somewhat & she was a "cool" kid but someone who'd at least speak to you. Though now that I'm at home I'm thinking, they probably thought I was nuts...... Hence I talk too much!
Ever overhear something and know exactly who their talking bout though they don't know whom you are or how the heck you know anyone?

I find I do this on several occasions and luckily no one has complained as I try to not be rude and interject when their is a passive moment where it would be appropriate. But then a few minutes later I think and say to self now why did I do that..hehehe.
As we don't always know if it is right to do so as one day a person with a bad character may latch out verbally and make us feel really bad. But I think that odds are more positive that it would be accepted..
But then not only do I not talk too much I also think far more. HA! These are things that get me trouble.

I can be such an impetious person! But the daughter was like what class did you graduate from? how would you of known them ect? She seemed ok. But you know I see many people that I've known when I was younger and some recognize you and some don't. I'm usually to shy to say anything to them unless they say something to me as I feel my job is a lil beneath me / embarassing at this point in life.... however I guess you could say atleast I'm employed.

Those things happen to me all the time, and I too, go off on tangents and tell more than I should about everything in general. My family members are worse.

Because I love in a small town then I know many people and this has happened to me several times and I still blush about it. Because of the large families I have to be very careful as it could be someone who is related to that person. You did nothing wrong so you should not feel badly about the incident and no, you do not talk too much at all

I guess then I would be a bit concerned if I lived in that small of a town as you do. Though it seemed when I lived here the first time and now the second time I'm knowing alot more people. It's strange, when I lived here as a teenager I knew no one out here. But from working the past few years I bump into everyone you can even imagine like even my middle school gym teacher!!

Well, talk to much is not really good. But don't think they are thinking you are nuts. Your reveal who you really are and not a nuts

As far as my parts is concern. People have many style in life. People has many different taste and different ideas...
I can't say you are nuts or something else. Because I don't know you personally or even I know you personally I don't call you nuts. Because we have the feelings to be hurt..
Why do you say you are nuts?

Yes, i was in the same situation before.
I heard two girls talking about somebody i know. I was in one of the CR cubicle . When i went to the lavatory where they are talking i looked at them to see if i know them. But i don't know them so i didn't say a word.
Had they said derogatory things i will introduce myself as acquaintance of the one they are talking about. Perhaps they would coil in shame!

I guess you just butt in because you just know who that person is or what they are talking about. So it was just a passing remark, that you forget about it, after that if you really have spoken it.

That's funny. I wouldn't think there'd be a problem with it. They'll probably be more "cautious" in revealing things but that is the funny part! IT'd be nice if it allowed you to resume a nice friendship with the sister!

Not much of a friendship really, just a "friend" on FaceBook like most people that are not in my life currently on a regular basis.

I think that happens to a lot of people. Especially in retail jobs. I had a teller ask me a similar question at the bank. And I hyphenate my last name.

I think everyone has done that, I know I have. I don't think it's really that much of a crazy thing to be quite honest with you. It just goes to show how small of a world we really live in. I've talked to people who know of me through someone else, and I've also talked to people who know someone I know through someone else.
I find it to be kind of intriguing after all all the people we pass by each day could be related to us in some way, whether it be familial or acquaintance.

I'm fairly shy too, but sometimes my mouth is a bit too free with those that I don't know.

We are human and I think that there are a lot of times that we all seem to talk too much. I don't typically ask them about members of their family, but there have been times that I've run into someone that I knew from my past and then I will ask them about someone else that they used to hang out with. It about devastated me when I asked someone about a person that I went to Europe with only to find out he had been killed in Afghanistan.

Hi 3 Snuggle Bunnies: Maybe you talk too much but don't feel bad for that. In my case I don't talk too much and it's sad because, sometimes, in the middle of a conversation I don't even know how to continue talking, what to say and it's sad because it makes you feel lonely. I think you can moderate it just by thinking about what the other persons may think if you say something. But in general talking too much is not a big problem. You just have to control this skill. Thanks for sharing with us this situation. Have a nice day.

yes, maybe once or twice i overheard someone talking to her friend about somebody i know. I didn't add any comment because they don't know me. I simply did what i was doing and let them talk about the person without knowing i know her too.
I felt like telling them to stop talking about the person but i did not, because i am not an acquaintance to the two anyway.
However, should i heard anything derogatory i would surely introduce myself as an acquaintance of the one they are talking about. Maybe they will coil in shame !

Nope. Definitely not. I have overheard so many conversation in a public transportation but I have never dared to butt in in their conversation though I was a little anxious to do so. I think it is so unlikely to talk to someone you don't know about somebody you both know about. Doing so might lead to gossips that would create unhealthy and bad information that would come out from you. It is very unethical and I think it not right to do that.
