I guess a few people may have encountered a TMI-person one time or another. It’s the person who blabs away way too much of his/her private life.
We have one such person here at work.
You could always tell if he got ‘lucky’, because everybody would know about it! Although we’re a small shop of guys, and we could pass off stories like his with laughter, I could almost feel that some guys get uncomfortable when he starts blabbing. Maybe that’s why they just laugh it off.
Do you know anybody like this?
I guess it’s great that he or she got lucky, but maybe not everybody needs to know about it.

As a woman, I would hope the guy would keep it to himself until I am out of ear shot...
Though I have heard girls talk up a storm and that is when I step away if I can...

Oh no, I knew you are a guy, I meant for me, that I would not want to hear it.
Yeah it took me a while to realize how guys work, I grew up the youngest of three girls and in the time when dads really didn't do things with their daughter's, so my first experience with a boy relative was when my much older sister had a baby when I was 5. It actually wasn't until I started dating that I realize how "Crud" some guys can get..

As a guy...
Actually, when guys get together, we could actually be pretty gross. It doesn't matter if one is like the president of the company, or the other is the guy that sweeps the floor. The stories we/they tell are most of the time really TMI! But sometimes, there are just guys who are just too much.
Thanks C!

I have family members who are often sharing TMI, not just about getting lucky, but about everything. Sometimes I do the same, but I try not to. Yeah, I would avoid this character myself.

Oh! I've known people like that too! Where they share not only being lucky, but almost everything. Even whatever sickness they're going through, or medical procedures they're having done. You want to feel for them, but sometimes, it's just too much! Thanks GG!

I work with someone like this that at times tries to turn everything on her, especially when she is in pain and expect everyone to jump and feel Sorry for her. But then at the same time never doing what a Doctor suggests so why does she always turn everything to her? And then a guy my husband used to be good friends with when we got together with him it was all about him. No one else could get a word in edgewise and I was Super bored, and will not be going around him probably ever again.

I'm actually beginning to think there is almost an epidemic of TMI..filtering thru the throngs these days. I have actually got to the point where I have to say..."Look, I am just NOT interested...tell someone whom cares!" Harsh, I know...but often, as you say, it is somewhat raunchy talk...and it hurts my old ears!

He probably didn't get lucky but wished he had It is not the actions of a gentleman to talk about ladies that he may or may not have an intimate relationship with. Tacky really. And very juvenile. I worked on my own for years so did not encounter this in any way.

Actually, this guy is married. And I met his wife a couple of times. That's why I personally feel uncomfortable when he talks this way because I know who he's talking about.
Yes it is very juvenile! And to think he's only about 3 years younger than me!
Thanks C!

Oy! Yah, I can think of a few people like that. Eek. One is my hubby's good friend. All his life he hasn't been around "socially", so the guy lacks some etiquette about things. When talking about "girls", he'd often have to throw in how he's "never been" . . . and oh how I'd wish he'd stop saying that. And then when he finally got into the working force in his 30's and suddenly got eaten by the social wolves, he'd talk about some woman and then throw in "well then I slept with her . . . " - ugh, it was just WAY TMI for any of us. In his case, I think he felt he had something to prove to everyone - though he didn't have to - at all!
Hope my post wasn't TMI!
