Does it bother you when people repeat themselves?

It often irritates the $#!t out of me, if it's being done face-to-face. Typically, I'll cut them off before my ears start to bleed and remind them.

No

Nope

Not at all

It often irritates the $#!t out of me, if it's being done face-to-face. Typically, I'll cut them off before my ears start to bleed and remind them.

It depends on how often they do it. If they do it over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over in a single conversation, that really, really, really, really, really, really pisses me off!

Sometimes it does. My brother does it quite a bit when he's pitching idea's out, it's a little annoying but it's his way. Fred Elliot, the butcher on Coronation Street, repeats himself all the time, it's part of his character.

It depends on the situation

Well, I hadn't given it any thought until you brought it up. And now that I'm thinking about it, I guess it all depends.

Depends mostly what is repeated and how often. Is this something you can expect to here for the rest of your life, like some personal story? Or is this maybe someone being stoned and running off at the mouth saying the same thing over and over again?

So, maybe sometimes, it depends... when I start to give it some thought, that is.

Would you repeat the question, please?

Does it bother you when people repeat themselves?

Sometimes; I guess it depends on what they're repeating and why. I sometimes get sick of hearing people voice the same opinions or arguments over and over in the same words. I'm talking about over the course of days, months, or years, not one sitting. I get tired of doing it myself, sometimes, too. I realize it happens. I just get sick of explaining things, or hearing other people explain things.

I agree. There are times when I don't even want to hear my own voice repeating itself. Mostly because it frustrates me that I've had to explain something so many times.

Do you think it'd be considered rude if I just started recording myself to playback for future explanations?

do you mean when asking you to do a task or just in general with stories and stuff.
do you mean when asking you to do a task.........

I repeat myself all the time, people always point it out to me.

Yes it does.

Sometimes it's mildly annoying. Sometimes it's mildly annoying. Usually I'm glad I can understand anyone's speech at all, what with the heavy accents at work, etc. of people whose first language wasn't English. There's one guy at work who repeats himself a lot; it's kinda like a nervous habit.

Not really.

Not if they didn't do so on purpose.

I would love to be able to do that! It's nice if you have someone with you who can explain for you, too! The one I'm most tired of talking about is my dissertation. I feel like a broken record, telling people what it's about. Don't get me wrong; I like my dissertation. But explaining what it is, over and over, gets boring.

Depends on their mental state.

Does it bother me when people repeat themselves? I say does it bother me when people repeat themselves? Not a bit chick, not a bit.

Does it bother me when what??????

I guess If they were like Rain man and was constantly doing it.. 'course I have to watch wheel of fortune, Ray Babitt has to watch wheel of fortune'
Yeah that could probably grate on the nerves, but thats just something that cant be helped I suppose.. when people repeat themselves randomly at times, no it doesnt bother me.

What like repeat themselves?

Sometimes. It bothers me most when I do it, it is a nasty habit. I loathe redundancy.

Oh, and here is the stupid thing, I got excited when I noticed I had 3 repoies and now I am answering them.

Replies excite you?

Of course they do! Till I find out who they're from!

You're too funny! Here's a reply for you.

Does that mean you are exited now? Or. Not?

Only when it's the 50th time. The first 49 are cookies and cream over here.

Yes I am!!!
_{Only when I find them from myself do I make a wince face}

= constipated

it dont bother me for them to repeat their selves but i hate repeating myself

What I hate is when people repeat themselves over and over, on the assumption that I didn't hear them. For example:

You're getting water everywhere!
You're getting water everywhere!
You're getting water everywhere!

or

Watch what you are doing!
Watch what you are doing!
Watch what you are doing!

or

Knock it off!
Knock it off!
Knock it off!

My personal "fav" (and by "fav" I mean most HATED) is:
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"

quite a bit. its one ofmy main pet peeves. i can deal with people driving their point home a few times but really, i understood you. stop talking already.

What did you just say? come on repeat it again? I hope that they do repeat themselves I want to be sure I heard everything correctly, so repeat yourself ok

It sure does.. It sure does.... ROFL...

I have a neighbor who talks and talks and talks...he never shuts up, but he says the same stuff over and over.... You get everything in the first 5 minutes and then the rest of the time is just a repeat... Hate it...

> Yes I am!!!
> _{Only when I find them from myself do I make a wince face}

Yeah but your wince face is cute.

I had a professor in college like that. I'd get what he was saying in the first 10 minutes but he'd spend all of class time explaining it really slow, and repeating himself. At least the cleass was easy!

AAAAaaaaawwwwwww*blush blush.......blush*

it bothers me when they say the same thing over and over, and act like they've changed what they're saying to make you understand it better, but really they haven't - they just changed their tone.
(It did make some really funny episodes of Will and Grace when Karen did it though...)

I think people do that for themselves more than for the listener. They like hearing themselves talk about certain topics, and they like trying to come up with different ways to say it, whether it's a change in words or emphasis. You're just the unfortunate recipient.

Repeat repeat, repeat, reeepeatt"""

Repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat and reeeeeeeeeeepeeeeeee
