I find folks like that are lonely.

They have no one who listens to them. So,when they do find someone on their same page, everything they've held in so long comes rushing out.

They're so excited to finally be heard.

I worked with a lady like that.

It takes compassion , patience , and empathy to allow for that poor souls pain to find a healing opportunity.
you speak the truth. i had to dig up all the patience i had to condone his selfishness. i went overboard with it.

It takes patience for sure. I thought to myself howlonely they were and how desperate to be heard.

I found out later they were alone in the world now. They were from a small family,no siblings. Their parents had died. All others in the family,both sides,had passed on.
Their spouse was killed in a car accident a few years prior. They shut down after that and kept to themselves.

Very sad. After learning that, it wasn't difficult to open myself to letting them talk. Savevgor the grace of God there go I. 🙏

Just think of them like a babbling brook and enjoy the bubbles. If they only being friendly.

Its like the scene in Anne Of Green Gables where Anne just babbles on and on to Matthew - who doesn't say anything the whole way to Green Gables. Anne is an orphan heading toward a new home. Everything is a wonder and new to her, plus she fantasises a lot, and having had nobody to talk to or even listen all her life she's going to take full advantage.

Some people have all bottled up inside and when you near it's like turning on the tap. But it's better they do that than burst their pipes/explode.
appropriate. you posted that just in time for the new story. a couple of hours ago, i was out giving estimates. after, i stopped to see about some antiques. i saw a guy parked at a closed business to talk to him, same place where i may by antiques. i couldn't tell who he was. i knocked on his driver's door he looked as if to think, "i know that guy, let him wait". so i waited another few minutes & knocked again. he got angry & wised off to me. then i realized who he was. a known wisecracker from way back. this guy is very much disliked by many. i asked him if he needed help & he continued in his irascible behavior & i walked away. what a test that was from Jesus! & i passed it.

this happened today: a guy calls me & says, "are you the guy that buys antiques"? i said, "yes" & he starts to tell me what he has which took along time, much of the talk was useless. then he says, "maybe i'll suggest that you come to one of our revivals". me: "what kind of revival"? him: "it's a Christian revival". me: "are you a born again Christian"? him: "yes". so he begins talking for 10 minutes, which was a lot of rambling on. he stops talking & i start telling him a story. he interrupts within 5 seconds & rants again for another 10 minutes. that happened 3 more times. so finally, he interrupts & i said, " hold on, you talk too much, let me finish my story" & he interrupts again!!! holyheavens!!!! i so much dislike the interruptions of people. that is super rude, selfish & discourteous, especially from a born again Christian! who has dealt with people like that? tell your story if you wish. thanks.
Did your caller start out with a "Hello?" "Can you here me?"

Maybe he works for A.I.? lol

Orphans? I don't know but a sizable amount, or abandoned children. Most will get fostered/adopted, but sometimes foster care leaves a lot to be desired. It depends if you get good parents or not, otherwise, you just another ward-of-the-state with no home. Maybe your home will be jail one day if you can't make it on your own.
This is why people join gangs.

a sad ubiquitous truth. mike tyson's dad left his mom the day after they got married! imagine that!

I think a lot of men don't want to take any responsibility, or make any commitment, even if they have a child. I think it is pretty heartless to do something like that.

They were never married, but he did leave shortly after Mike was born.

Just in case you didn't catch it, most automated calls start with "Hello, can you hear me". If you knew that disregard that statement.

Or perhaps this is the repercussions of most women always being attracted to the bad boys. Mikes dad was a street guy. I'm sure Lorna knew that fact when they became a couple.

Or maybe its just bad boys are just bad who like knocking up women even if they not attracted to them after they done the deed.
 
On another note...talk to the hand!

I don't want no scrubs
A scrub is a guy who can't get no love from me
