[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not an all New Yorker behavior. Just those that are interrupters with no patience. They want to keep the conversation moving on their terms.[/quote]

Sort of this.  I'm signaling that I am listening and engaged, but also that I get where you are going with this and want you to keep moving along.  I am most likely to do it with people who just keep talking until interrupted, rather than pausing for breath: if I listen silently, they are more likely to meander and overexplain. [/quote]

You are rude. [/quote]

DP.  It is also rude and boorish to drone on and on just to hear your own voice without giving anyone else an opportunity to participate.  It’s a conversation, not a monologue. [/quote]

It's rude to slowly ramble on and on and on and waste everyone's time. [/quote]
Interrupters and the yea yea yeaers jump in and over everyone. It’s not about someone rambling or not giving others a chance to speak. The yea yea yeaers just think they can and should jump in whenever. Someone else said it earlier in the thread. They thought a conversation existed by two people always speaking at the exact same time. [/quote]
