Just got off the phone with the most boring dullard I know, yet she is a sweetheart.
She texted me yesterday morning, but I didn’t respond until last night. I was brief, but kind.
Well, she called this morning and kept me on the phone for 2 hours. I knew from experience not to tell her I was busy, because she would ask me when to call back.
I like her a lot in person, but on the phone she drives me insane. She jumps from one subject to another, loses her train of thought, talks to her husband while I’m in the middle of talking, goes on and on about the weather, her illnesses, gossips, people I don’t know nor care about, hems and haws, etc.........
The funny thing is that she is so different in person. Sigh..............
I did my duty, and I am here to MyLot and relax.

Most of my friends are easy to get along with. But I have a friend (very nice in other ways) that drives me crazy.

@DianneN I hate that for you, I use to have a person like that, but once she I wasn't interested in keeping up with the gossip, she stopped calling.

One of the reasons I hate talking on the phone. I'm glad that she's different in person!

Oh no - you got stuck 
. This is one of the reasons why I don't pick up the phone anymore - I don't want to get stuck - and with certain friends you just know that's going to happen 
. I hope she got it all out so she will not bother you for a while!

I got stuck, only because I didn't want to get stuck after dinner. Once she called at that time and it was impossible to get rid of her. I told her it was time for bed, but she went on gabbing. Hubs finally came downstairs and rang the doorbell a hundred times, and I told her had to go because we had guests. She hung up. 
Who would have guests after midnight??????
. She can be a real loon.

I know someone like this woman. For me it is kind of annoying over the phone but she is also nice and kind in person.

I feel your pain. I have a friend just like that and I tried calling her this morning. I was a bit relieved when she didn't answer the phone. I'm sure the next time we speak it will sounds exactly like the conversation you had today

I think we all have friends (or even family members) like that. Luckily for you, she's not that way in person.

I know a few people like that. They just seem to have an issue communicating via phone. I absolutely love talking to them in person but will actively avoid speaking to them over the phone. I suspect it's more common than you think. Most communication is non-verbal so if you remove the visual aspects of the interchange it's understandable that some people might struggle a bit.

At least she talks...I have a friend who calls and expects me to entertain him on the phone. Also, if I tell him I am doing something in particular, he will try to get me to do something else. It isn't his business. Then he wonders why I don't want to talk to him..

@DianneN I wouldn't have talked for 2 hours, I would have invented an excuse. I don't even talk to my mother for 2 hours.

@snowy22315 I didn't have the heart to get rid of her. Once, my husband had to ring the doorbell after midnight. I told her we had guests and she got off the phone. . It's really impossible to get her off. She just doesn't get it!!!

That has to be really annoying for you then sometimes.
Does she take a hint or is a sort of yes I can´t hear you kind of thing?
Meaning I am hearing you but I am not really listening.

@lovinangelsinstead21 Once she called after dinner and talked past midnight. I told her it was way past my bedtime, and my hubs wanted me to go to sleep. No dice. I had him ring the doorbell just after midnight,(LOL) which she heard, and told her I had guests. She finally hung up!

I don't ever know what to talk about, unless something NEEDS talking-about (usually transportation-arrangements and/or the time-&-place we're meeting IRL.)

@DianneN I think the closest we get to "small talk" is 'religion' (although I'm sure some 'small talk' could come from sports, politics, or whatever I might get nerdy about 
)

Usually, this is the sign of a very lonely person. Once they find an ear to bend, they're certain to bend that ear until it's ready to fall off! My sister is exactly the same way. That's why she doesn't have my phone number!

@DianneN I tried being friends. She'd call every day, to talk for hours! Filling me in on everyone else's life, in her church and in her neighborhood When confronted she screamed, then told everyone about my faults! Nope, I got depressed trying to cope with a 'bi-polar' woman.
