Tep, is it possible your Chatty Co-Worker has cloned himself, gotten a sex change, and is now working with me at Big Name News Archive in Manhattan?
Because I just had a 20 minute conversation of which about 30 seconds was necessary exchange of information. The rest was me smiling and nodding while Chatty Two Electric Boogaloo repeated herself over and over and over and over again.
clean all the things!
I love how this phrase has become a thing. It's just so exactly right.

This drives me insane. Why can't people understand all of the verbal and non-verbal hints I am giving that say "information successfully exchanged. Now please go away."
Someone recently wrote in to an advice columnist asking about a person she routinely has to get information from and wondering what's wrong because the person gives the information and then cuts the conversation short. (The columnist nicely pointed out that this was a business exchange and chat is optional.)
This wasn't even a case of "our business is over, let's chit-chat." This was literally Chatty repeating the same 30-second conversation we'd just had over and over with slight rephrasings. And I guarantee you, nothing we were talking about was interesting enough to warrant that kind of a rehash. (I mean, it's not like we were discussing what hand we hold silverware in or something...)
Yeah, I smile and am warm and friendly and I hate that I almost have to get rude to get people to shut up.

If anyone could, he could. He has SO MUCH needless chatter to get out that it created a whole new person to channel it.
Because that would put a damper on our sex life and I'm only willing to go so far in our quest to ignore your mother.
I appreciate that the line is well before the sex being cut off.
Srsly.

Why punish myself, right?
