I have a female co-woker that does not know how to finish a conversation that drives me nuts!!! She ends every sentence with, and....um..... or like....... so technically, it never ends! She will just prattle on for minutes about every detail in her life and its just one story after another without a break. Its like she doesnt know how to use a period. Ever know one of these nitwits?

My ex-sister-in-law was a non-stop talker. She didn't always end things like your co-worker, with umm or like, but she would go on and on and on about anything. I mean anything! One time, my husband had just had his tonsils taken out (painful, especially when done as an adult) a few days before, so he was sitting there at a family party. He only came to show that he cared for the person who was having the birthday. Everyone knew about the surgery & that he wouldn't be doing much talking because he was still in pain, so they all said hello, gave him hugs, etc., but pretty much left him alone or offered to get him drinks or whatever he might need. Well, everyone except her, she parked herself next to him and went on and on about how he looked like he was in pain, then talked about different times when she had been in pain, then on to the topic of ice cream and if he'd been eating ice cream after the surgery... and what types of ice cream that she liked. Then she finally made a comment about how he looked like he didn't feel up to talking and she should just be quiet, but she still kept talking. I ended up taking him home early. Poor guy!
