Ignorant people

[johntemp]

It's a trivial matter and I know that it I'm being over sensitive but it still hacked my right off.
I just visited my ldc was waiting for an air fill along with another chap that was stood at the counter.
My fill was finished and I stepped up to the counter to pay and started to have a brief chat to the owner.
Half way through a sentence this bloke cut straight across it and started a fresh conversation with the owner as if I was not there.
Now the owner is obviously trying to be nice to all customer but the problem I have is that people like this bloke are so fu@*ing stupid that they do not realise that they are not the only people on this planet.
As I say, it's trivial but I and most of the people that I know would never do it.
Some people are so damn rude

I know what you mean, this is actually my main pet hate

I don't think it is trivial. I try not to do it to other people, but usually meetings bring out the worst in me. Any other time I really try not to but in. Although sometimes it seems that you just get ignored by shop owners having their own private conversations too.

Surely its just a matter of saying to the interloper: "excuse me - would you mind not being so rude - and I am still having a conversation here"

It is one of my main pet hates too - unfortunately ecause of the type of person I am - I would rather say something than not..

Holding doors open for other people without being thanked (or tipped ) is another.. but thats another thread.

I know what you mean, it pisses me off too !

I don't believe a word you are saying, a LDC with more than 1 customer at a time pah, clearly a figment of your imagination!

[Buoyant Babe]

If the opportunity presents itself (like if they shut up long enough to let you get a word in, or they pause for breath) a retort of "Pardon me for talking while you're interrupting" often shames the guilty party.

I hate interrupters, and try very hard not to do it myself in meetings etc. I don't always succeed but many people don't even seem to try.
