Uh-huh, okay

You know what might just be the most annoying conversation pattern ever? People who interrupt you while you're speaking and then ask you the question you were already trying to answer. Things like this (a made-up example):

They: So, can you ride your Segway on the streets?
Me: In Washington you can, but it only goes—
They: Uh-huh, okay. How fast does it go?
Me: It only goes 12 miles an hour.
They: Uh-huh, okay.

Conversations with these people are so bewildering. At least they're always short.

What's new

Sleepless in the Seattle Metro Area is the official blog of Travis Spomer.  Look for high-quality Travis Spomer merchandise coming soon.

Views expressed are my own and in no way represent my employer; this is in no way a work blog.  All postings are presented "AS IS" and confer no rights.

Names are generally changed to protect the irrelevant.  Quotes may be paraphrased.  My memory isn't good enough for "details."

Comments you submit become my property.  I can remove or mangle them if I wish, though I probably won't.
