Yes, I once had a friend who was a real motormouth. After a while I just tuned it out and nodded or emitted a noncommital grunt in the appropriate places. I have never known anyone who could talk so much and say so little..she truly loved the sound of her own voice.

yeah my aunt is so bad when she phones that you can put the phone on the side while you hoover and run a bath and when you pick it back up she's still whittering away totally oblivious to the fact that you even went anywhere!! Theres nothing i can do about it - i'd change my number but she's family.... thank god we dont live close enough for her to pop in whenever she wants!!!

It is myself. One friend listened politely for years and then waited for a pause and said kindly: "do you know that you only talk and never listen." Ever since, I have been much better.
