Talking in bullet points

[BooksAreMyOnlyFriends]

I searched for this as I was sure it must annoy someone else out there, but I couldn't find anything. Apologies if it's been done to death.

Aibu to get annoyed when people, usually on TV, start to talk in bullet points but don't follow through?

For example.

'I love Donkeys because A, they are furry, they have big ears and make funny noises'

Where's B and C? Why bother with the A in the first place?

Ha my 7 year old does this, like Buzz from Home Alone because he'll skip from A) to 2) to D) all in one batshit conversations. Surely no adults A) do this though?

Gordon Ramsey. He doesn’t do the a,b thing but he does speak in short sharp sentences which irritates me but probably goes back to his working in real kitchens where we do have to be quick and to the point as there’s no time for waffling.

I seem to be looking out for it now so I'm seeing it a lot.

Sometimes it's alphabetical, sometimes numerical. If its numerical they often add 'for'.

'I like Donkeys for one, they are furry' etc

I, for one, find it more annoying when people capitalise random words in the middle of a sentence.

Ha ha! I do this all the time. If it helps,I'm massively annoying, so take your pick about things I do/say which are irritating!

FreshlyWashed I have found myself doing it too. It's addictive. The 'A' came out and I had to really emphasise the 'B' or I would have been annoyed with myself.

raven I do get mixed up with capitalisation with English being my second language. Sorry you are annoyed.

Native speakers do it too, don't worry! All the time. And I'm only "annoyed" in the same way that you are "annoyed" by people nt finishing lists, i.e. actually not annoyed at all, just enjoying a rant

If English is your second language, then you might be interested to know that "for one" is not the same as your other examples with A, B / first, second, etc. Used correctly, "for one" just means something like "even if no-one else does".

To be honest wafflers are way way worse taking 5 mins to make a basic point gives me the rage

Yes I see that now ravenmum. Its similar to 'Personally, I...'

I do enjoy a rant, its true.

My dh is a waffler christmasjammies. He loves to tell a story when a couple of sentences will do.

'I said to him ... he said to me ... then I said ... then he said ... ' repeated over and over.

Just get to the point

There's wafflers and entertaining talkers!

Some people like to take the motor way, some people the scenic route!

Some people like to give bare facts, some people like a story or a conversation!

I think it really depends if they're enjoyable to listen to or not. Some people don't say much but are boring anyway !
