This is that awkward anxious feeling somewhere in the sudden lull between one person's incessant yapping and even more yapping when the so-called listener is finally given a moment to remark but has understandably already stopped listening thus has no idea how to respond and compensates with a nod and fake smile. It's a classic.

Incessant yappers drain me.
ReplyDeleteYes. This word is needed, like when you're in the middle of an argument and realize you're wrong.
ReplyDelete@DSWS I apologize.
ReplyDelete@Pickleope So true. Well said.
I do this all the time.. Hubby talks constantly.. He has no inner monologue..lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm constantly doing the fake smile /nod so often, people just think I'm quiet.
ReplyDeleteThe smile and nod really is the safest thing to do in that situation. Solid word, man.
ReplyDeleteSweet. It's my goal to have a yapprehensive moment today. I'm weird that way.
ReplyDeleteI love this!
ReplyDeletewait...I say your comment on dr. cynicism. HAVEN'T YOU HEARD MY RANT BEFORE about why jello is DISGUSTING?!? Oh, you must have missed that. I tried to warn you people. I tried to warn ALL OF YOU. Who's the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE NOW??? Not I!
