Fast talkers

Do people who talk fast want other people to talk fast as well?

There is this idiot at my office who always talks in a hurry. He is so rushing that the other person has to speed up to keep up with the pace of the conversation.

Now the question is whether I should start talking really fast or let him go through the agony of a normal paced conversation. Should i talk to him about this? Is this even a subject of coversation :smiley: Ok, may be I am sounding like Seinfeld but this guy is so annoying to have any kind of conversation with.

Re: Fast talkers

I talk fast :( ...except when I make a conscious effort to speak slow...which isn;t tooooo often.

Speak really really slow with him to bug him, that really bugs me, a LOT.

Re: Fast talkers

I have tried talking slow and really slow at times.. it pisses him off..he gets all red..starts itching and scratching ..i've even noticed him hop once or twice just to speed me up. :-D
Miss Fatale, are you a fast listener? like, to do understand the sentence before the other person is finished and u start ur own? Those kind of people are more annoying :-p

Re: Fast talkers

yes that's me, esp with slow talkers :D

Re: Fast talkers

Fayz, I’m a fast listener kind. I always knew what you were gonna say before you even conceived it. As a matter of fact, whatever it is that you are ever gonna say in the future is already quite well known to me. So spare me, ok? :rolleyes:

Re: Fast talkers

I talk really really fast and think fast too. But that may be a by-product of my NYC upbringing.

I could never live down south because that unbearable southern drawl would just make me wanna tackle somebody.

Re: Fast talkers

ROman don't say that

Re: Fast talkers

Roman, you are not a fast listener..you are a fast hearer..u hear half of the sentence, assume the rest of it, lose interest and start your own :rolleyes:

Re: Fast talkers

Fayz, it's not presumption, it's highly developed form of intuition. It's almost telepathic. waisy bhi what's in rest half of the sentence that's not already in the first half?

Re: Fast talkers

^ I already know what Fayz’s response is… :dhimpak:

Re: Fast talkers

OK Roman. Here is one half of the sentence..

The woman next door...

From your intuition and telepathic magic..please let the world know the other half

Re: Fast talkers

Fayz, it's "The woman next door is hot". See.

Re: Fast talkers

err NO!

The woman next door ran away with her dog. See? Please pay attention to the complete sentence for your own good.

Re: Fast talkers

Fayz, I was talking about woman next to MY door :smack2:

Of course woman living next to your door would do something drastic like that. You kidding! :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: Fast talkers

fast talkers are usually more intelligent too.. no wonder Fayz is having a hard time keeping up..

Re: Fast talkers

ik tay meri humsayee kutay naal nus gai aay, ootoN tusi mazak uRai jao :rolleyes:

Re: Fast talkers

Fayz, you're better off, trust me. Better off without that dog.

Re: Fast talkers

lol. That is so me.

Re: Fast talkers

i talk in rapid uninterrupted spurts, which often make interjections by other person difficult; rejoinders almost impossible.

Does anyone remember Denise's fast talking friend from the Cosby Show?

Re: Fast talkers

my friend talks really fast....no1 understands her....no matter how many times she repeats it.....so most of the time I have to speak for her...I have to speak to lecturers for her/general shop people and also order for her etc.
