Why is it when I'm at work there are always people who feel the need to talk over me. It's always happened at every job I've ever had since birth. Seriously it's so not okay to do this.
In the past it has been bosses, which as the employee you can't say anything. Other times it's with people who should be listening to you, like students. I teach drivers ed.
Anyway, I just would like to know what goes on in these people's mind when they feel the need to speak over someone who is currently talking. With kids I understand, they want to show they know something or they want to be a smart-ass.
With my bosses I understood it was a power trip. They wanted to show that they were in control.
When it involves someone who is on the same level as you, not a clue. Seriously are they idiots why do they do it?
My solution: I would love to be able to tell all these people to shut up, and maybe say an obscenity.
I know I would get fired in certain circumstances, but I know I would feel so much better. Wouldn't you?
