Really, I encounter too many on a daily basis to enumerate upon. However, one that has recently plagued me in the workplace is the 'conversational perpetuater.'
You know those people who engage you in a conversation (which in itself is usually banal and painfully substantiated with forced small talk), and when the resource of trivial bullshit has run dry and the conversation is visibly over, refuse to walk away? They stare at you in a chasm of silence, looking at you expectantly, despite the fact that neither of you have anything more to say. All physical and verbal indications have been given that the conversation has terminated, but they JUST WON'T LEAVE.
What's wrong with these people? How do you handle the situation?
