So, I have had an experience probably once a day that has baffled my mind. It happens with the same individuals every morning. Oh and Monday's are the worst. I like to call this move the "Talk and Run". This action occurs when an individual asks you a question and then quickly leaves the area of vocal range. Sometimes the reason is they are just being polite. Others are when they make a statement believing they are correct and therefore do not need to hear your response. I, however, believe many times this occurs because the individual simply enjoys the sound of their own voice. Some of my favorites include:
"Hey! How was your weekend?" as they walk into another room.
"Wow. You got your hair colored" as I respond "Oh actually I got it cut...and you're gone"
"Do you have time to do this great here's what I want" as one complete sentence.
I mean honestly, if you're going to ask a person a question at least stay to hear the response. We don't care if you don't ask. We do care if you ask and walk away as if our response is nothing but noise in the background. At the very least, pause just a moment, so we may think that you are staying to hear what we have to stay. If you don't have time, the answer is oh so simple...Don't ask! Really, how hard is that??? All in all the "talk and run" should not be committed.
Oh look, here comes the biggest one of all. Wonder what I'm in store for today....

Haha. The talk and run is really very terrible and I hate when people do it. I agree. Don't ask if you really don't want to know how my day was, how I'm doing, if I am having a good day, etc.
