| What makes you so sure that the people not talking, aren't stupid too? |

That's beside the point.
I'm talking about that friend who needs to talk on and on endlessly and won't shut the *beep* up for a minute. Get trapped in a long car ride with that person. It would be bearable if what was said was halfway intelligent. It seems these chatterboxes are usually, well, 'intellectually average' is a nice way to put it (understated).
Can anyone relate? |

Why is a post titled "why"?

lolz
In my company, there is one woman, annoying to me at least, but apparently well liked. Even her shadow is noisy. |

In other words, human rights only for those who you think deserve them.
Why do stupid people talk so much? No idea. Why do the petulantly self absorbed think we care? |

Anyone who talks to much sounds stupid.
I met a few guys from ivy league that could ramble on for days. Unfortunately they had no concept of "tailoring it to your audience" so they kept talking about obscure and irrelevant topics that you shouldn't and wouldn't mention on a first time meeting.
I'm not really interested in the finer points of why the weight threshold of a perpendicular beam to a trust is correlated by the amount of tensile strength it has...
I wanted to jump off a cliff. |

Don't you mean engineering stupid  He was talking materials/statics. Any 2nd year engineering n00b would know that. |

I studied physics. It all boils down to physics in the end. |

actually, most people dont talk. it just happens that a stream of words comes out from their mouth as soon as they open it.
as an esl teacher, i have to do 70-80% of the talk in class. if wished students would talk more, but it seems there is something of a cultural expectation that i do the talk, and the better i stick to it, the more students like me. |
