Mid-sentence cut off...

It's happening everywhere in this country. I am speaking about the mid-sentence cut off that is wreaking havoc during our telephone conversations. My sister Brent is guilty as charged with this type of behavior. He has no concern for the well-being of the person on the other end of the conversation. Simply put...Brent has cut me off mid-sentence and continues to do this with all of his friends. Many of his friends have been victimized like me and received the mid-sentence cut off at the climax of their stories.

Many people are wondering if the mid-sentence cut off is really that awful. The truth of the matter is that this cut off is terrible and worse than getting hit by a speeding bus. It goes something like this: "Brent, I was at the gym last night and then this...." It is at that point Brent will cut you off mid-sentence and say that he has to go. There is something better going on in Brent's life at this juncture and he does not give you the time of day to finish your story that you think is so tremendous.

The mid-sentence cut off is not going to just disappear. People in this country will be searching for the bigger better deal while they are attempting to listen to a phone conversation that really doesn't hold their interest. It is at that point that people (like my sister Brent) make a snap decision. They must let you go and have no intention of hearing your stupid story from some night three weeks ago. Many people, like my sister Brent, would rather wash the bathroom floor two times over than pay attention to the bullshit seeping from your mouth about something that never happened exactly the way you had described it.
