MSIBTY Jane

One thing that is on my top ten list of most annoying things is people who always have a story better than yours or have to tell a story that relates to yours. You know what I mean? Say your telling a story about how you fell down the steps leaving your house. (This did not happen.) Then this person who I will call My story is better than your story Jane (MSIBTYS Jane) cuts you off and starts talking about a time they fell down leaving the house.

This type of behavior/communication has always annoyed the shit out of me. When it really started annoying me the most was when my grandma was suffering and slowly dieing from cancer. MSIBTYS Janes would ask me how she was doing only to end up telling me about how when their grandma/dad/cousin/dog had cancer blah blah blah.

Their are a couple of MSIBTYS Janes that I have the pleasure of dealing with. This morning MSIBTYS Jane #1 and MSIBTYS Jane #2 were having a conversation. It was one of the funniest/annoying conversations I have ever heard. Jane #1 one spout off a few sentences about her story and Jane #2 would cut her off and tell a couple sentences of her story. This went on for about ten minutes. By the time it was over I was sitting with my head in my hands praying for it to stop.

I try my hardest not to be a MSIBTYS Jane. Sometimes after a few alcoholic beverages I would say I could try a little harder. But for the most part, unless you ask me about my experiences with such and such, I will not be a MSIBTY Jane.
