Haha I am so annoyed at this middle aged lady I had and encounter with at the grocery. I say she sure has a lot of energy taking. Time to talk and wow so opinionatee as well.. There was a long line and all she did was comment here and comment there! Her companion obviously is already ashamed of her having I huge mouth?! If I had to live with her in a house,my ears would have bled itself out! Oh no! Have you ever had an experience like that, or do you know someone who is like that?

I am a very talkative but yet more so an outgoing side type of person. Though I tend to talk up a storm, I do have my limits and am not loud by no means. I don't like being somewhere and loud people drown out the entire room with the sound of their voice. I mean the entire room does not have to hear each ended word. Just last night at around 3am I was awakened by a very loud voice. I took a peak out the window and OMG, could this woman speak really loud and fast. She was talking to a cab driver and my goodness, I could hear from inside my apartment about how, and where she had to be. She went on and on about a situation with her mate. I had to go back into my room and close my bedroom door and was so hoping she hurry up and climb into that cab. Wow!

Unfortunately, some people are very loud and drown out others in the room but do not realize that they are doing it. I know people that are deaf or hard-of-hearing, and they just can't tell how loudly they are talking - they think that they are talking in a normal volume or even sometimes they think they are being quiet when they are really speaking very loudly. It would embarrass them very much if they realized that they were being so loud and bothering people, especially since they have a difficult time judging the volume of their voice.

This is true PA and both chiyosan also. I have come across people who although have no handicaps are very loud speakers, especially while on their cell phones. Some of those would also be embarrassed if they were shhh to keep it down. Some on the other hand are also so uncaring and carry on as if they owned the room.

Hi chiyosan! Your post reminded me of a co-worker that I really strongly dislike. She's not just talkative, she's got the nerves for someone like her without anything to be proud of. She's patay-gutom, mukang pera, makapal ang muka to say the least. Sorry for the terms. Just thinking of her makes me annoyed. When we were in the same division before so I know how loud she is, she laughs so loudly without finnesse showing her tonsils. And her normal voice is above the normal decibels. Anyway, there was also this old lady who I met last month during an exhibit I attended. She went to visit our booth and bought our product. I think she stayed for half an hour in our booth just talking about everything. Me and my co-workers were already tired of her but she kept on going. But she was very amiable so we couldn't really get annoyed of her.

haha wow you have got some trouble there are your work. Glad, she's off the division now- you just got lucky! i would not stand a person like that really. i think i was able to work with someone like that before too, she always wanted to hear new stories or chismis, or some office gossip ahh i hate people who only wants to talk. i rarely gossip and its not my thing so when i do not know about anything about this and that person.. she'd look at me as if i was weird not to know! hehe :D

I also don't like too much talking at work. Small talk is okay, but too much talking bores me and tires me. That's why I prefer to stay in my room (at the office) and just work with my computer. If people go to me for small talk, then fine, as long as it would be short.

I am a very talkative person too. I just love talking and talking without stopping, I even want to go where my friends are. If somebody will say "I will go to the mall", or "I need to go to the church", I always say "Can I go with you? Can I? Can I?" I did not realize that I there are some people who need to spend more time with themselves alone, without other people with them. I used to be very insensitive with the time of others. One time, my room mate was asleep, and she looked very funny that I shouted at her and said "waahahahah!!! You look so funny when you're asleep" and she got really pissed that she told me, "you are very insensitive. You saw me trying to get some sleep, you should at least be mindful of others' time and moment, not just making fun all the time. You are very annoying!!" one time, my friend told me that she's very pissed with me, and I'm annoying her. I did not even do anything to her. But my voice was very annoying, and nobody wants to hang out with me. I realized that I need to tone down a bit, and get matured because I was really childish. So, now, I could say I changed a lot. I make sure that I will respect the private moment of other people. I keep quiet and I only speak when asked.

I know a few people that seem to talk loud and that is just the way they are.I also think that there are a few people that tend to speak softly and not even the person next to them who they are talking to can hear them.I do find it strange that also there are people that talk loud and it seems like they are shouting to the person next to them.

I remember when I was at the army , I used to stay in a room with someone who could talk and talk and talk about the same issue and not adding any new information but becoming more and more into it. Once he started to talk , I could only nod my head and tell him "yes" . He was such an annoying guy , i'm glad he forgot about me. Some people just talk and talk without making new ideas , just powdering the issue. I sometimes try to figure out new information out of their talkings , it's like a game for me. Some seconds after telling me "good night" , he started to talk again from the beggining...

Sometimes when I can come across a girl like this, who was talking on the phone with her friend. At first, I didn't pay much attention to her. However, I became more irritating because she was keep talking for thirty minutes behind my ears. Most of the time, I found the girl was rather negative. So I began to hate her because I hate people who tried to take away my positive energy. Actully, I don't always dislike people who talks a lot. If he is a person who is positive and excellant and nice, I'd love to listen to him.

My boyfriend talks alot and it does get annoying he will talk to anyone and will talk about anything. But when we are in a grocery store or just at a local walmart and we are in line i dont want others in front of me talking to the check out person and i really dont want the check out person to talk that much and just get me out of the store as fast as she can too. I want to get in and get out as fast as i can too. I think its the best way to get in and out is without talking and for me sometimes to go by myself helps too.

I go both ways - sometimes I am quiet and not very talkative, and other times I am a chatterbox and can't keep my mouth shut no matter how hard I try. Mostly I am very talkative with family members and friends, though, and do not really get into lengthy conversations, especially particularly opinionated ones, in the middle of a line at the grocery store or other similar public places. Of course there is the idle chitchat from time to time to easy the boredom while waiting in line, but it is not loud and definitely not nonstop.

Surely this lady you are talking about has not been restricted which only shows that she is tolerated in her close circle. It takes all sorts to make this world and it is for us to go with the flow. There is a way to handle this. Just do not listen but go about having your own thoughts. This works.

I have friends who are noisy, I am noisy. But it happens in the spirit of fun and enjoyment. But when the noise is something negative and rude, that is really annoying. Most especially people, who say aloud bad words just because they think so. Opinions that are highly un-valued!

i know exactly what you mean i know three people that will just talk and talk and talk with no end its so horrable for i am a quiet person and i think it is best just not to talk most of the time than it s to talk my grandmother will go on and on talking about stuff constantly digging into my life concerning my relationships and its just an awkward conversation (not stuff i want to talk about with her like how it is with my boyfriend) haha the lady i board my horse with talks so much that i try my best to avoid her she thinks she knows everything and will tell the same stories over and over again

hehe exactly what i meant, the exact person, who talks endlessly, and the kind of person who seems to know everything about anything at all. its hard being around them, right? its like you have a talking machine with you and it would literally hurt your ear! and give you such headache for the kind of voice.. ahhh.. i think its ringing in my head still.

Hello chiyosan I think you had a very bad experience with these type of persons.But I usually like with these type of persons as they always talk and my time just pass easily.Otherwise I have to make my time pass by doing any other work.But these persons make my time pass easily. Sometimes they also make very much problems when I want to be alone to do some stuffs or to think about anything.It become impossible to do that.

hey vikku... yes actually time passes quickly. but when you are busy and doing something, i think it is not really fair to have them around because their voice is just annoying you can't do anything to tell them to go away and shut up.. he he and i do agree with stowyk, i think its just not right to eavedrop on people even if it was not your intention to do so.. i mean you would not be interested in them anyway. hehe Its great to have you both in the discussion, thank you for taking time to respond, appreciate your inputs herewith.

Some people talk louder than others and the talking might seem as if it will never end. My aunt that is my mom's sister is very talkative indeed. Some of my relatives are shy and hardly say much at all to strangers. It is all about personality and some are more outgoing and friendly than others. I parked my car in a car park and when I came back I saw a very cool looking camper van. I quietly said to my daughter about it. The owner had been getting a parking sticker and she heard me. Luckily she said she agreed and I smiled.
