And the ones who can see clrearly you are reading but still sit down & proceed to ask you "are you reading" ... I feel like saying no "I'm just airing the book"!Zepher07 wrote:People who can clearly see that you are reading, but insist on having a full-blown conversation with you anyway. These people do not even ask if you want to converse with them. This happens to me all the time when I try to read when I'm on my break at work. I just want to relax with a good book. Is that too much to ask?
But of course I'm too polite & feel obliged to engage in, what is almost always, a trivial conversation.
A world is born again that never dies.

Oh, and my cat deciding she wants to be a bookmark is VERY distracting!

I was watching a show that talked about how the brain functioned in certain situations. It confirmed that it is more distracting to hear one side of a cell phone conversation because your brain is trying to subconsciously fill in the gaps. It is much easier to tune out a regular conversation because your brain is not working as hard.Tigania wrote:I also have to agree with people talking on cell phones. I find that very difficult to ignore.
My dog loves doing that too. Her nose fits perfectly.Tigania wrote:Oh, and my cat deciding she wants to be a bookmark is VERY distracting!
