Fucking Triple Point making bastards
This irks me. This rankles my cankles.

This happens to me all the time. I am having a serious conversation with someone, either business or personal or whatever.

They tell me their point.

Fine. I give my view. The conversation should now be concluded. Hang on! What’s this?

I get the point again from the other person, but ever so slightly elaborated upon. The gist of the point is exactly the same.

I grunt, and say “yes I understand, thank you”.

This then puzzles the other party. Perhaps I haven’t been listening. Perhaps they should force the point home a bit further.

Out comes the same point but Now With Added Emphasis.

I say, “Look, you’ve just said that. I understand, lets move on.”

Then I am accused of not listening, 'Going Off On One', and liking the sound of my own voice.


- If people try to tell you the same point over and over again while you are trying to eat your fucking bananas, TEXT POWERVATE-1

- If people only try to tell you the same point once, and once only, then fucking leave you alone to eat your bananas, TEXT POWERVATE-2

- If people stare at your neck fixatedly when you speak until you can feel yourself get redder and redder until you have to go to the bathroom to wash your fucking neck until it bleeds, TEXT POWERVATE-3

This post scares me ever so slightly.
But it also makes me laugh. Thus, *click*

I sympathise entirely
I know a few people who do this a lot. I occasionally have to say "You've told me that already, three minutes ago in fact.".

They then proceed to tell me again, just worded slightly differently.

I do this
All the time.
I hang my head in shame.

My brother doesn't do this
It just takes him 20 minutes to tell me something that could have been expressed in 30 seconds.

For some reason he insists on providing a detailed history of his motivations, thought processes and accompanying actions BEFORE getting to his point.


Grrr.
