Uncommon Courtesy

Okay, I talk a lot - I know I do...when I talk to someone on the phone or in person, I let them know up-front..."You know, if I start talking to you, I have this tendency to keep talking nonstop for at least an hour - maybe three...so be forewarned". Now, wouldn't it be nice if EVERYONE had the same decency to tell you their faults before they started speaking to you? C'mon, think about it...

"Hi, my name is Harold and I'm a completely boring person...plus I just stop in mid conversation and look off in the distance, like I've run out of my daily quota of words."

"Hi, I talk about my accomplishments...which aren't really that great...but they're better than yours, or so I believe...so I like to go on and on and on and on about them, as I know you really won't ever see me again, but then again I have this same exact conversation over and over again...I know it verbatim but I never get the opportunity to talk to the same person twice, as they avoid me like I wish I'd be able to avoid myself."
