Also like this when it’s someone using wayyyy too many words to describe something they want done. Conversational blueballs when someone asks me, for (exaggerated) example, to take out the trash by saying “hey so you know we have these bins in our house that hold trash and that’s where we put all the trash and the trash eventually piles up and we have to do this weekly ritual where we take the trash and put it into bags and move it to the bins outside so that someone can come collect it and then we can put more trash in the bags so what I’m really trying to say is can you open the door and go grab the trash bins because that’s how you take out the trash right you just grab the trash and walk it outside and put it—“

PLEASE stop talking you could have just said “can you take the trash out?”

Yeah, that’s what I hate the most I guess.

Or even worse when they ask “do you know this”, you say “yes”, and they tell it anyways with every little unnecessary detail, like you said “no I never heard of that please tell me everything about it”.

My blood pressure spiked just reading this.

To be fair the amount of times I ask someone if they understand and then I explain it just for them to have no idea what I'm talking about.

Basically I do it to make sure you actually understand and aren't just saying you do
