Verbal Waterboarding

When one verbally complains, corrects or simply makes a point over and over again. The verbal repetitiveness on the side of the receiver can feel like drowning. Especially after an apology or solution has been articulated.

After Terry offered a solution to the problem, Benny couldn’t stop complaining about the problem over and over again. She said it felt he was dumping buckets of words over her head, it was like verbal waterboarding. She added he has 2 ears and 1 mouth…he should use them proportionally.

verbal autopilot

When you don't really want to engage with someone who is telling the same story for the 100th time so you reply with variations of 'Yeah' or 'Dang', 'Wow', 'OMG'. Because you don't want to be rude.

Did Jim tell you that story of when he met Freddy Kruger at that convention, AGAIN?!

Oh yea, but I just went on verbal autopilot during the story.
