“Can we just pass out when someone just won’t stop talking?”

There are so many sets of people that we may encounter in our daily lives. We tend to be flexible in dealing with them. It could be bad or good but we still need to be polite in calling their attention. Seriously, I can’t tolerate a chatterbox in a working place. I am so patient enough to listen to them. But then, there are always limitations in everything.

If I am not busy then yes, I can just sit there and listen...

@Shavkat I know... I don't mind they talk when I'm busy, it's just that I will not listen to her with all my heart/ears...

Most of the times yes but if its a work place and I need to get on with the job I just tend to smile and get on with what I am doing if I can.

Some will just not go away no matter how much you try.

i don't talk much even when with my friends. it is because they know i get easily tired when i exert effort to speak. but when somebody talks incessantly, i would just slowly stand back and behind and leave, even without excusing myself.

@ridingbet I think we need to always bear in mind this, "Work is work."

@Shavkat yes, and we must hear in one ear and out it goes to the other.

Depends. If said chatterbox is talking to me about stuff that I am interested in and I have the time, then I can talk and be okay with it. However, since you mentioned that it happened in the workplace, I have no patience. I have lots of things to do on a daily basis, and I also go to grad school so if I have free time in between, I would rather do a little bit of reading. Imagine, I have to bring my lunch at work and eat at my desk so I can also do homework - that's how busy I am everyday. I wouldn't mind having a non-work related conversation with my co-workers, but it should not take more than a few minutes. If I sensed that the conversation is getting longer to my liking, then I would suggest through my body language that I am done talking and I need to get back to work. If the co-worker cannot take a hint, then I will just have to be vocal and excuse myself that I have something to do.

No not anymore. I used to be more than able, but as years have gone on, I find my tolerance level has gone down for this.

I pride myself on having a lot of patience but a chatterbox at the office would probably drive me crazy

@Shavkat I'm a good & patient listener, but like you said, there will be a limit to anything. Thankfully, all chatterboxes I encountered till this day are tolerable
