When you have a friend that talks too much.

We all have that one special friend that never shuts up. Don't you agree? Well im going to assume that you do. Since this is my blog. I can write what ever i want. :)

When you find yourself alone with that person, what do you do? Both of you are friends and you do not want to hurt his/her feelings. You just nod politely and keep on saying yes. If she/he 's telling a story you have to keep on saying "and then what happened?" or "what do you feel about that?" or just say one word reinforcing statements such as "REALLY?" or "SERIOUS?". Trust me. It works.

However, you should not entertain them when they are talking to you in class. No matter how much you're interested in what they're trying to say. Why?
1) It is rude to the lecturer
2) You are disturbing others in the class who really want to learn/concentrate.
3) You should be concentrating on the class yourself
4) You do not have the ability to listen to both your friend and the lecturer at the same time
5) You might fail that subject costing you another 1.4 k
6) The lecturer might decrease your participation marks.

When this happens you should just say, "eh ill talk to you after class okay?" while pointing at the lecturer lecturing. If he/she continues his/her bad/annoying/noisy behaviour, you can just sit at another place or just tell him to "shut up". There's no point being nice anymore.
