I am usually upfront about not paying attention to what he is saying while he's saying it or Ill stop him while he's talking and just say YOU KNOW, IM SORRY BUT IM REALLY NOT LISTENING AT ALL. Sometimes he'll just keep right on talking, and sometimes he'll stop and we plan to carry on the convo at a later time when I can direct my attention to it or when I care to talk about it.fistfullofsteel said:i also hate it when they pull the, "you weren't listening to me, were you?" then ask you to repeat what they said.
