[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. There is a woman at my job who almost never stops. She interrupts people a lot and joins conversations that she is not a party to and starts rambling. She thinks she has valuable information on virtually every topic and that people need to hear what she has to add.

She is otherwise pleasant enough, not a bad person and decent at our job. But she alienates herself from a lot of people because of this habit of hers. [/quote]

I had a friend like this. Especially the thing where she thought she had had valuable info on every topic. She was the sort of person who read a lot and had shallow knowledge on a lot of topics, but then she'd weigh in with authority even though she really didn't know much. It was frustrating.

We are technically still friends but "grew apart." Sometimes she pops up in my social media feeds and she does it there too. She became especially intolerable when she had a kid because she now posts a lot about parenting as though she's an expert. I'm glad I don't see her anymore because I have a kid a couple years older than hers and this would drive me absolutely insane if I had to listen to it.[/quote]

Yeah, PP here and the whole speaking like an expert on something she has only a tiny bit of experience with is a big thing with this coworker of mine too. We have projects where management regularly asks for input from the folks who have been doing our job for a long time -- meaning folks who have done it for like 5 years or more -- and she, having done one season of it, is always the first one to pop in with "Well, I have always done x, y, and z with my projects." FFS, you have done this once before ... you are one of the people that management wants advised by the more seasoned people! She is there to be advised, not to do the advising. It's pretty clueless stuff lol. I really do think she knows that she gets some eyerolls but just can't stop herself.  [/quote]
