While not completely toolish, but still very annoying after a day or two. Pilots who attach themselves to your hip and want to talk to every other Crewmember you see.

There should be a word for this type of complex. Maybe Flight-Crew Separation-Anxiety Disorder or Lonesome Airline Pilot Diaspora. I like pilots in general in that we (as a group) are generally not babble-heads. A comfortable silence works fine, unlike some other work groups to whom even 2 seconds of silence is death; there must be continuous talk at all times. This I think connects to what you are talking about in that there are exceptions, and some guys feel like they have to talk to everybody they see and know, even if it's an inconvenience to you. The easiest escape method - make the "telephone" signal with your hand, and pull out your phone. "Got to make a couple of calls." Then head on your merry way to some private area to read, sleep, eat, whatever. |

As much as I love my wife, the sound of silence can be unnerving to her. She has to fill that void with sound, even banal chatter. The thought of sitting in a cockpit on a transcon redeye and not saying a word for hours on end would fill her with dread. You can imagine what a roadtrip for us is like!
My wife cannot drive to the grocer without having to have a five minute talk about the dog's bowel habits, or the new color she painted her nails which I can't tell the difference from the normal color. Totally feel your pain. |

I agree, not toolish so much as annoying.

There are few things as headache inducing as getting in a hotel van at 0430 that is filled with chatty cart mules. It is truly amazing the mundane things that they can so spiritedly debate at that hour of the morning.
The fact that we're chatty is due to two reasons: (at least for the female variety of FA) 1) females are generally more verbal than males, and 2) flight attendants actually have personalities. ;) sorry, but I just couldn't resist.....:) |
