because we have to make up for people with BIG GOBS like you
-
Unlike some OTHER PEOPLE, I keep my mouth shut when nothing sensible to say...
-
Just say: "I am thinking".
-
Don't say anything! just stare for a couple of seconds without expression ... then go back to what you were doing ... sometimes your silence can be your best weapon They usually don't know how to react ... and are then rendered speechless themselves ...
-
You could say," To make room for dumb asses like you to show everyone how stupid you are every time you open your gob!"
-
"Because you're so loud." "I'm silently admiring your verbal ineptitude." "I just farted. I hoped no-one would notice."
-
It is better to stay silent and be thought a fool than open your mouth and prove it. I was waiting for a gap in your dialogue Oh I do do talk when the converation is of interest I was always taught not to speak when others have not finished , I have not heard you stop yet
-
silence is golden! I came, I heard now who's the wisest? You talk to much, you worry me to death, you talk to much, you even worry my pet, you just talk, talk,talk, talk to much. I got that last one from a song I heard once.
-
because i don't have anything worth it to say..
-
Because I can't get a word in edgeways. I've got a sore throat. My dog/cat/parrot/hamster/rabbit just died. I've got bad breath.
-
I like to take that oppurtunity to say something that will hopefully make that person leave me alone for a long while, so I usualy say something like this... "Oh, sorry. I was just cotemplating what might be the best place to bury the body, I'm starting to think that I might just have to cut it into little bits scatter it about in bunch of places, what do you think?" I call that, the "I really hope he was joking" method. But if you don't want to be called a psychopath, there's always the everpresent "I'll talk when I have something to say..."
-
Because, I'd rather be quiet and thought to be a moron, than open my mouth and prove it like you.
-
im tired
-
I'm trying to figure out why you think anyone wants to hear all the blab you just spude.
-
I just tell them I am just not in a real talkative mood. No offense to them. They usually take that as a friendly response.
-
Beacuse, unlike you, I am busy using my brain instead of my pie hole.
-
The cat got my tongue, have you seen it?
-
I almost always respond "I don't have anything to say." It makes sense to me, but usually the person who hears it isn't satisfied with the answer.
-
b/c ive been told that i talk a lot (thats what i say, which is true friends think i talk too much sometimes) talking is silver while silence is golden
-
Listen first, speak second.
-
I have not been able to get one word in otherwise with all your garbling!
-
Well, i was having some good thoughts and it will cost you a dollar to hear them.
-
I'm Listening.
-
I am trying to think of you with a personality.
-
"I'm listening to the universe - it;s not saying much."
-
I haven't found anyone worthy enough for me to waste my time talking to (with)
-
Because you were being an idiot, and I try not to interrupt a professional at work. Then just smile. :)
-
"Oh, so this is one of those interactive conversations? Sorry, I didn't realise the rules had changed and I was meant to contribute." "I could ask you the same.... oh hang on... no I couldn't..."
-
say "because genius works in silent ways"
-
because... i don't find entertaining u worth my time.. . harsh but.. idk LOL
-
I usually just say I'll talk when I have something to say.
-
"It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it." -- Sam Levenson
-
What, didn't hear you, it is too noisy.
-
"I was just thinking of the fifth chapter of Stephen Hawkings latest book and I think I have an angle on faster than light travel. Would you like to hear my theory?"
-
Why are you so loud? I don't have anything nice to say. Maybe you should try be quiet, you may not like it, but others will.
-
Just do some obscure sign language at them like you're deaf..
-
I'm just tired, just chilling
-
Prove them wrong. Just start screaming. =) Seriously though, I've never had a great comeback for it. People used to say that to me all the time, and I hated it. I didn't think of myself as quiet and didn't understand why I came across that way. Now I realize its because I didn't make much idle chit-chat, I would only speak when I actually had something to say.
-
I'm watching.
-
It's always best to remain silent and be thought to be ignorant. Than it is to say something and confirm any doubts.
-
I'm plotting your demise.
-
Your fatness/ugliness/stupidity/ ignorance (any negative word can be used here, interchangably) leaves me speechless.
-
say: "i don't know how to talk" and walk off.
-
*yawn*
-
...
-
Because your making enough noise for all of us.
-
say something totally out there like im a ninja and if they insault you go ah ya well your jsut jealous cuz im the only one here who knows the illeagal ninja moves of the government9napolean dynamite)
-
Just say "Because the volume of your voice is doing enough brain damage to us all. I decided to be considerate." "You're just not that thought-provoking." "I didn't really have anything bothering me. Until I took a wiff of your breath! Jesus, it's called a Tic Tac!" Or you could just stare at them for a second, look at the top of their head, and say "You have a little [insert derogatory character trait here] in your hair". Then just turn away or walk away.
-
Pull out a pad of paper and write that you are taking a vow of silence. Or you could say something to the effect (and I don't recall the quote) about a fool speaking when there is nothing to be said.
-
Somebody went and downrated a bunch of answers, what a loser!
-
When my husband used to ask me that, I'd answer, "I want to hear what the others have to say." or something like that. He didn't buy it. He would grill me even more and in a hostile tone as though I was the one irritating him. Just minding my own business will annoy the crap out of some people I guess...
-
just look at them and start doing sign language
-
M I..?
-
Just look at them.
-
Hello - Sorry for not responding earlier to your question. I am still with my husband. We are in the process of going for counseling. My young daughter goes crazy everytime my husband and I have a heated argument. I believe most relationships can be salvaged with a bit of professional intervention (Divine intervention would help too!). Sometimes, my husband will misinterpret my silence after an argument as "silent treatment". He claims it is "worse than yelling." We just have different opinions. When he gets loud, maybe I am misunderstanding him as getting too aggressive, too. But sometimes I just need that quiet time to think about the situation clearly and just to keep the peace. Angry confrontation, yelling and name calling just is not my thing. Sorry I didn't answer your question but just wanted to update my answer.
-
b/c i don't like talking to fucking idiots..and since it's just you around here..
-
Because I was taught that if I have nothing nice to say..then say nothing :)
-
It's better to be thought a fool & remain quiet, than to open one's mouth & remove all doubt.
-
cause your boring me lol
-
"It's the quiet ones you have to watch out for" OR "I'm thinking of something witty to say. Unfortunately I haven't heard anything witty to necessitate a retort, so I've been quiet."
-
I like to count the amount of things in every room.
-
Your boring and i dont want to talk to you.
-
usually when i'm asked why i'm so quiet, (which happens often) it's because the people i'm with are talking about a subject in which i cannot be included. Because i find this irritating, i usually answer; Couldn't get a word in What was I supposed to say? Is that a joke?
-
I am listening..... I am focussing on what you are saying.... I am a thinker, not a talker..... I am paying attention..... Why do you ask that.....? Because someone has to be..... Because there is too much talk and not enough do....
-
'I find your constant need for communication to eleviate nervous silence, tedious and draining'
-
Silence. Haha. No. You don't need a comeback. That isn't an insult.
-
W H A T in this language.......
-
The little man in my throat is sleeping!
-
"I'm thinking about Einstein's theory of relativity"
-
If you have to be nice... It's just my personality to be quiet. OR I'm just feeling tired today. Was there something you wanted me to say? If you can be mean...:) At least I know when to shut up. OR If you're uncomfortable with silence, that's your problem, not mine.
-
I would just stare at them and not say anything.
-
Because I am plotting the death of nosey people.
-
When I was a kid, people would ask my mother that about me. She always said, "Kathi's writing a book." So now I use that line myself. "Keep talking, I'm writing a book."
-
to hear you better.
-
I guess your answer would depend on whether or not you want to be quiet. Some people are quiet because they can't think of anything to say, some are quiet because they don't want to say anything. If they ask you that, they are probably trying to start a conversation, not just asking for a stand-alone factual answer. They probably either like you or don't like you and you probably either want to talk or don't want to talk. Therefore: They Like You They Don't Like You U Want be nice be mean 2 Talk U Don't be boring be dismissive Want 2 Talk
-
"Why are you so loud?"
-
"I was born that way! Besides if I was hyper I would be being someone I'm not!" thats what I would say because I'm quiet too!!!
-
Your continued silence.
-
I'm just born that way. Keeping to myself and thinking...so much fun, thinking xD I usually don't mind starting up on a conversation with people I like, but it's harder with just random people that I just don't feel for.
-
Why are you so loud and outspoken? All you do is put your foot in your mouth, while mine is broken off in your ass ;)
-
because im so horrified by your appearance that im just left speechless.
-
Noone worth my breath and energy to speak to here, so I'm saving it for an INTELLIGENT conversation.
-
Genius is silent.
-
don't say anything back just look at them for 2 seconds then walk off quietly
-
Just listening... TRUST me... When I have something to say, I'll chime in...
-
Look at the person seriously, then in a calm serious tone say: 'Have a seat. What would you like to talk about? Since I'm the quiet one, why don't you start?' Gets the person startled as he/she wasn't expecting it.
-
"Because I have nothing to say that idiots like you would understand"
-
"I'm practicing to be a serial killer."
-
"Because my voicebox is only a few inches from my ears, so I don't sound quiet at all, to me, I sound really loud."
-
I'm waiting for you to breathe so I can speak.
-
"My word bag got empty."
-
"Because I learn from experience."
-
