Conversation Killers

[blobbyblob]

Just an observation that I have to share.

Do some people have an inordinate ability to stop conversations while they are in full flight. I have done with comparitive ease here, albeit, not intentionally but its becoming funny now.

I had thought that it was something that only happened in a face to face/group conversation scenario, putting it down to the offenders mannerisms or whats perceived to be all round dull personality. I have disproved this recently again in phone conversations and meetings.

How does this extraordinary gift work?

I studied molecular biology and genetics in college, so I give them a warning that they are going to get bored when they ask what Im going to do. Im going for a job as a cytogenetisist, trying to explain that should be fun if I get it! :(

On a similar note, I used to travel virtually ever week on the Bus between London and Manchester and I when the bus was getting full someone would look to sit beside you, which not being anti-social but, quite frankily I didn't want. So I used to eat egg sandwiches with the label of the sandwich wrapper promenantly on display and also used to scratch loads if it looked like the sandwich smell wasn't going to work. That usually did the trick.
