To rant about people who finish your sentences for you (especially when it wasn’t what you were about to say.)

[sixsevenhahaha]

My dad used to do this.

’Dad, I’m just going to -‘
‘school.’
’the car. I’ll pop back in the house in a minute.’

My brother had inherited this annoying as fuck trait.
’well, I was going to’
’go to bed’
’watch a film but …’

Colleague at work did it to me three times today. (I’ve recently lost five stone.)
’Are you going to stick to your diet over Christmas?’
’well, I’ll probably -‘
’come off it’
’just have Christmas Day off.’

AIBU in finding it SO FUCKING ANNOYING!

I’m annoyed just reading this! DH does this all the time. He even gets impatient as I’m speaking (I’m fairly articulate and succinct, I think!) and cuts in with an irritated sigh, “Yes, I know… you think it’s faaaar too expensive” when I was going to say it was good value and we should get two or something!

He also does the wrongful attribution thing. “You're right about it being weird, but I thought it was funny too” when I never said anything about weirdness.

MIL was worse. She’d get it so unbelievably wrong that I could only conclude that she saw me as completely diametrically opposite in personality to how I really am!

They do it too so they don't mind and neither, we find it helpful especially when we are struggling to get the right words out or describe what we mean. It's far more irritating when we are misunderstood or people want us to feel bad for how we are. Don't worry though we know when to pop our masks on so nobody is getting irritated by us.

It isn’t you personally. It’s an irritating habit. People are allowed to be irritated by it.

@RampantIvy i am not aware of speaking in a long drawn out fashion but who knows. It’s still rude though. ‘People’ don’t do it ‘all the time’, it’s two members of my own family, one who has been dead for well over a decade, and a colleague. Luckily, most people I know can listen to a five word sentence without jumping in to finish it.

God sorry, quoted the wrong post 🤦🏼‍♀️. THAT is irritating!

Yes it is rude. DH struggles to remember words sometimes and often thanks me for finding them for him, but I don't do this to anyone else.

DH sometimes cuts me off because he "knows what I'm going to say." No he doesn't, and it winds me up big time. So rude.
