do you talk about things you actually have no clue about?

Hmm. My conclusion is: People suck.

:awesome:

 

Ew there was this guy at work. He had definitely didn't have a clue about music but worked in this music shop....and it was pretty embarassing if he was talking to a customer who really knew a lot...esp. because that guy thought he knew everything...

 

Don't you have to do that though? I work in a shop myself and we're sort of expected to be knowledgeable about the products we're selling. Some people obviously aren't but they can't really admit that to customers. I guess you have to be more careful if you work in a music shop because you'll get a lot of customers who know a lot about the instrument you sell, whereas for us it's generally tourists that ask us but still...

 

Anyway, I do find people like that very annoying. I just don't think you can blame the guy for what he did there.

 

Nothing wrong with that. I notice sometimes with friends of mine who are quiet, they dont tend to listen to what everyones saying in a group conversation, I can see it, they just look like theyre in another world. I dont know if thats you but some good friends are like that, even if its a group situation and I speak to them directly, I can tell halfway through that they actually arent listening! Which is odd, but again, not a bad thing, just the way it is.

 

I'm VERY quiet around people I don't know very well even if I'm interested in the subject they're talking about. I'm sometimes worried that they think I don't listen because I don't say much. I do listen though, I'm just very shy.

sally, well the main problem in our shop is that the boss is the worst of all, because he doesn't know ANYTHING about music. So he believes for sure if there is some guy applying for ajob who tells him he can play the guitar, the saxophon, the piano, etc....

That sucks. I guess it's a bit different in a music shop because you should be able to give people good advice. Interest in the things we sell isn't necessarily the most important thing for us. One guy only got the job because he's Spanish which is very useful as we get a lot of customers form Spain.

When I come across something entirely new and interesting, I actually get kind of excited. I usually ask a lot of probing questions to see if the person knows what they're talking about, and then bug them for every scrap of info I can.

 

It's so silly to act like you know something just to keep a conversation going- most people like to talk about something they know about.

Most people, but a lot of people are reserved, quiet, or simply don't really have much interest in talking to you (Or maybe thats just me). So when you meet someone like that, if you don't meet them halfway and play along with whatever you do know, then they just won't be arsed answering shitloads of questions.

 

If someone is friendly and game, I will also probe them for things I dont know.

 

But a lot of the time when someone asks me a million questions, even if its about something I know about, Im just thinking "Alright now. Fuck off."

 

Can't help it, I'm not always a fan of forced conversations.

I don't think I talk about things I have no clue about. In fact, I keep my mouth shut generally anyway. :D

^^Well I'm pretty shy and quiet to begin with, so if I'm talking to someone, usually they started talking to me first, or else they're already a friend.

 

Yeah, forcing conversations is awkward. If the person doesn't geek out about their thing I move on- what's the point?

forced conversations

I hate them!

 

I try to avoid them as much as I can...although I know that'd be better sometimes to have the, just to get to know more people....uhm well don't know...

I hate them but if your with a person who you dont know anything about and dont really have much in common with, it can be the only answer.

 

What I hate more is when youre in a situation like that, and the other person asks like 72 forced conversation questions in a row and you dont have time to breathe :sick:

I don't even bother with forced conversation, I just give vague responses until it gets all nice and awkward.

Urgh, thats even worse.

Yes it happens I talk about things which I know nothing about.

 

But I think pretending stupid is better than pretending smart. :smug:

 

I remember once my classmates were talking about some actress from some telenovel and I was discussing with them about her, though I had no idea who she was, and I was speaking with such a spirit and so loud that teacher asked me to come in front of the class and tell everyone what I was talking about. :lol: And I truly had no idea. :lol:

but which kind of questions are you talking about?

 

"So where are you from? What do you do? Where'd you go to school? Who do you hang out with? Whered you go to uni?"

 

And worse is when you get a person who asks questions but clearly dont care about the answer. Eg:

 

"Where'd you go to uni?"

 

"Oh I went to Newcastle, just graduated in June, my degree was-"

 

"-Thats great what car do you drive?"

 

People=shit :sick:

I hate it when relatives ask me questions.

I just don't talk. It's always a lot more awkward for them than it is for me and eventually they just shuffle on and leave me in peace.

 

^^Ug, those are the worst. I just avoid them in the first place- you can usually spot them before they even open their mouth.
