People who laugh after everything they say.

Is this a nervous thing?

Or are they just jolly old souls?

I'm sitting in the office with two guys behind me - both Managers; says it all, really - who cannot finish a sentence, whatever it may be about, without breaking out in a chuckle.


Examples:


"Are you going to the photocopier? Whooohooohoooohoooohoooo"

"I saw a great programme last night. Yeeeheeeheeeeheeehawhawhawhaw".

"You're sacked. Bwahahahaaahhaaaheeheeheehohoho".


(Okay, I made that last one up. Well, all three really).


But, they actually do this! I find it quite annoying. Is everything that funny? Or am I missing something?

Oh I sooo know what you mean! Its so annoying! theres a guy in my class who wouldnt, or rather couldnt, say boo to a goose, and he does that! He doesnt so much laugh after everything he says, but all the way throughout the sentece too. I have no idea where people learn to do this. It must be a nervous thing though, a habit. an annoying habit!

As someone once said to me:

You know the best way to shut someone up?


















Kill 'em.








Yeah, I was too.

Don't YOU start laughing as well!

I like their thinking!!

Gigglers are the worst. I think, however, that it's just a form of social awkwardness, nothing more or less. So it doesn't overly offend me.

You could've added that to my 'Stupid Expressions' thread!

I love that one. Does anybody say 'Boo' to a goose? That would be interesting.


Person: Boo!

Goose: Honk!

Goose:


I'm going to try it this weekend.

I find people who are always happy an abnormal phenomenon! No one can be happy 24/7!

True. I should be more lenient. I think it's just those two I find annoying. Woooohooohooohoooohooo!

onenitealone said:

I was laughing for a good three minutes because of you.

Whooohooohoooohoooohoooo Yeeeheeeheeeeheeehawhawhawhaw Bwahahahaaahhaaaheeheeheehohoho

You're funny.

It is polite to listen as others talk. Only when there is a pause is it cool to introject your own voice. However those that make noises are trying to monopolize the pauses so that they can continue talking. They only needed a moment to think and so they just make noise so that there is no chance for you to introduce another thought. It's a controling issue.

True. Or at least I don't know anyone who's like that 24 hours a day. I love a good laugh but sheesh...

Can it!

gemini13 said:

I dunno about that but thank you.

Bwooooohoooohaaahaaaheeeheee

onenitealone said:

MickG said:

No, you might be right there.

I do that. For me it's nerves.

this thread is cracking me up.

brownsugar said:

Yeah, but I like you two.

Trust me, these people are annoying.

onenitealone said:

althom makes that noise a lot

I laugh like anything. Usually it's cause i just thought of something retardedly funny or cause i'm a bit hypo in people's company so it kinda comes out that way! And then i make say for example my boss at work laugh cause of my laughing- and that makes it even worse

For the most part i'm easily amused.

Though i did it as a kid too, and i remember when i felt shy i'd giggle too. So it can sometimes come from that emotion too!

I have a friend that just sits around smiling about , without making any noise whatsoever , now that's weird
