Redundant Issues in Conversation

in Chit-Chat
Sometimes, well, most of the time, I'm a little akward with people. Sometimes, I get so caught up in what they say, that I can't think of a next thing because I can't move off of it.

As an example, I'm talking to someone at work, and they say, "I live in a beach house, by the beach". And, rather than say, 'oh that's nice", I have to ask why they choose to tell me that they live in a beach house by the beach? When they said "beach house", I got it. I didn't hink you said I live in a beach house in Ohio. I mean, why do you have to say it twice. Just say, "I live by the beach" or "I live in a beach house". Saying, I live in a beach house by the beach is weird and it doesn't make any sense. So, I can't move past it until I understand WTF their malfunction is. LOL. Yes, I'm crazy that way. Look out.

#2 example. OK, this one absolutely drives me insane..."What's your PIN Number". Uh, OK, You want my personal identification number number? LOL. Come on people.

What your crazy insane thing that people say when they talk to you?

I have many more things, but right now i need to try to get some work done.

    I'm guilty of this one, I get into trouble every time I mention the hot water heater. I'm reminded that if the water is already hot then I don't need a heater, right?

    Hot water heater.

    damn it...beat me too it. hot water is already hot...no need to have a hot water heater. You just need a water heater for when the water is cold.

    Your people skills need work. No wonder you are awkward with people.

    When they said "beach house", I got it. I didn't hink you said I live in a beach house in Ohio.

    Ohio doesn't have beaches? It's got that giant lake at the top. I am pretty sure there are beaches on that lake. I'm sure there are houses along those beaches.

    ETA: Yep. I knew there were. here is photographic evidence:

    I don't like it when I am at work, and I quite obviously work there and someone asks me if I know where the bathroom is. Not where it is, but whether or not I know its location.

    I bartend one night a week, it's a complementary bar for hotel guests, so it's not as fully stocked as a 'regular' bar is. We have only one kind of beer.

    Hotel Guest: What kind of beer do you have?

    Me: We have Bud Light on tap *points at tap*

    HG: Do you have xxxxx?

    Me: No, we only have Bud Light on tap.

    HG: So you don't have xxxxx?

    Me: No, we only have Bud Light on tap.

    *sigh*

    I can't *tell* you how many times this conversation has taken place.

    I was just on a flight a couple weeks ago when a passenger asked the flight attendant "what beers do you have?"

    The flight attendant said, "We have Heineken and Budweiser."

    Passenger: "You don't have Corona?"

    Flight attendant: "We have Heineken and Budweiser."

    Like asking for a different beer would suddenly jog the flight attendant's memory that they have Corona...but only for those who specifically ask.
