Seriously??

Some people freak me out. Seriously. Now there is this lady who has joined our firm two weeks ago. When I was introduced to her, she made some smart ass remark about my surname which by itself put me off. But I'm practising this new theory where I've decided not to judge people in the first instance. Anyway yesterday I had the opportunity to interact with this lady during lunch. It seems she recently got married and her husband works in one of our rival firms. Two mins into the conversation and she started complaining about her husband. He doesnt take me out, he doesnt give me time , this and that. This went on for forty five mins. And this is my second conversation with this lady, mind it.

After a point I couldnt take it anymore. I tried my best to steer the conversation to other topics she just dint budge. I gave up and made some excuse and left the place.

Ok, I am not judging. She has major problems with her marriage and all that is fine. But tellin all this to a total stranger? How weird is that?

I was reminded of Rachel talking about her relationship with people on the plane when she leaves for London to attend Ross's and Emily's wedding :-D

sometimes it's easier to talk to strangers, but i think she needs to pick her audience better. you did the right thing by walking away. especially because you didn't want to hear it lol

@viji- Ya complaining to frnds may lessen ur burden, but to total strangers shows lack of sensitivity towards your loved ones.

@samy- hello the only show I watch is FRIENDS. thats not too much!

@stephanie- exactly, it does help sometimes to talk to strangers. But you also need to judge if that person is comfortable getting into your personal details.
Btw Thanks for dropping by :)
