conversational manspreading 

When someone completely dominates a conversation, especially in a meeting, making all the possible salient points anyone else could possibly have made, then when anyone else tries to add a point, partially or completely dismisses their ideas.

Our retro was 100% the Rob show, conversational manspreading the first 20 minutes. When I finally could talk I said we need a security breach process. He interrupted me and said, "well I'm not concerned about that right now. Anyway it's not necessary."

Dave: "Hey, are you going on a date with that girl you met the other day?"
Jackson: "No. I tried to set something up, but she started Conversational Starfishing every time I tried to find out more about her interests."

Enlightened conversations 

You don't have those Gayve Jewbin. You've been having the same conversation for 7 years. It couldn't be any more banal at this point.

Hym "Gayve Jewbin doesn't like when people make stuff about him when he doesn't even talk about those people. He says that doing that makes them bad people. Gayve Jewbin has made a ton of videos about Whoopie Goldberg. Who has never talked about Gayve Jewbin. Therefore, Gayve Jewbin is a bad person who doesn't have enlightened conversations. Don't worry Gayve. I'll still save you from Hell."

Woman stands 3 meters away and says:

"Are you ok? I don't want to get to close because I don't know what you have".

Social distancing conversations:

"Stay five feet away from me" a lady screeched at me while holding a large walking stick to to both threaten me and measure the distance between us.

Darling, we are in an aisle in the pharmacy, and you're shitting bricks and ready to clout me with your walking stick because I asked if you were in line.
