It's kind of like popping into a bunch of threads all at once, making comments, then never returning to see if anyone has questions or comments on what one said. Basically acting like a fish in a bowl, they swim in circles pointlessly, only paying attention long enough to announce their own presence.

Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up, Adam. Agreed, nobody likes that sort.

I don't usually worry too much about them. Usually they just interrupt once and then they are gone. Pointless to get annoyed at them, they aren't going to stop doing it, and it just screws up my enjoyment of being there. Like worrying about how someone else smokes their cigar, or if they drink a beverage with it that I don't happen to like.

Gee, I'm starting to feel a little self-conscious.

I was going to comment here and thought against it after all that

It is sometimes hard to keep up with it all though.

I travel for work and at our hotels we have smoking rooms of course. I do not smoke cigarettes. On one trip it was 110 degrees outside and I wanted to enjoy a cigar without melting or having heat stroke so I opted for a smoking room. HUGE mistake. It stunk so bad I couldn't breathe and my clothes and bags stunk for two weeks after. To top it off some coworker calls the hotel and our company to complain that I smoked a cigar in a smoking room. The nerve of some people. I kindly let him know what I thought of him and his nasty cigarette smoke right to his face. He didn't deter me but the nastiness of the rooms and the ashtray smell that soaks into everything in the room keeps me out of smoking rooms. I will sit outside and melt.
