Not Paying Attention:

I hate the most is when you are converse with someone and they are not paying attention to what you are telling them. I feel I am talking to the wall. You no longer find interest in repeating what you just told them earlier.

I tend to just walk away from them and not bother with them anymore. I use to say, side comments as I leave them.

I learn to just walk away and don't bother talking to them anymore.

Tack less:

I have someone who talks to you and it is not related to what your conversation is about. It becomes tack less to me to bring up something that the whole world doesn't even need to know about it.

Those tack less becomes and embarrassment to you or someone else who is related to their conversation.

Interruptions:

There are some people who interrupt when you are talking to someone and don't bother to say, excuse me. They just jump into your conversation to someone. You end up holding back to finish off your conversation with someone until later you forget where you have stopped.

Bragging:

Some people brag when they have bought something new. They brag to make a small story a big deal by adding more words to their story to make it a big deal.

Dazing:

When someone has a lot of problems in their mind and you are making a conversation. Their mind tends to drift away from your conversation. When you ask them a question it is not related to what you have just discussed.

Dozing:

I have an employee when you talk to her she tend to doze off when you are making a conversation, Next you know her eyes are close.

I usually just walk away from them. They don't realize you have left their side.

Broadcast:

There are some people who don't know how to keep a secret and tell the whole world even strangers they just met.

Rumors or Gossip:

There are some people who love to talk about someone who may they may not know about the real story of someone and talk behind their back to spread news. It passes on to another person with a different story.

Lying:

There some people who make believe something happen to them. In reality they are just fooling themselves and people who they lie too.

I have encountered a lot of people who have done this to me. I tend not to trust them anymore. I no longer feel the effort to make a conversation with them.

Not Serious:

I have friends even if you’re so serious they just keep laughing. They tease you the whole time as you are making a conversation with them.
