(This is a new series of Personality Types…as I notice them)
The Babbler has one goal: waste as much time as possible, while making it seem like they are extremely busy & stressed. My cube is next to this chick/woman (she’s in the awkward transition stage only because she has a kid, but is pretty young in age and mind herself. Unless she pops out one more kid, she’ll be in the chick/woman stage until nature takes its course and she gets older or of course, more mature). Well anyway, this womchick (pronouced Vhom’Chik) can babble on one topic endlessly w/ the use of repeated phrases, properly placed extremely loud (& definitely fake) laughs, unncessary shuffling & reshuffling of papers, & recitals of emails that ultimately repeat her repeated phrases.

Yes, a babbler comes in many flavors, but once a babbler is under the radar, you must do everything in your power escape. To help you escape, you can use the primer on keeping annoying people away siince babblers are, technically speaking, very annoying people.
Anyway, congrats on kicking out the babbler from your life!
Isn't the babbler someone who is narcisstic or just damn insecure. They bore you to tears with 25 minutes of conversation about absolutely nothing. I was in a relationship with one for way to long and just came out of the fog. BIG SNORE!
Very interesting you bring that up. I've read some things about personality types of men & women in my lame psych books that i'll post up one of these. Don't hold your breath.
i think some (most?) women have a hard time with confrontation, and being strong and showing that strength, like 'please excuse me is this going to take very long because blah blah blah' ,
instead of 'hey you get out of my way', because that is what they learned from watching their mothers. mommy was into manipulating people instead of just being direact and asking for what she needed, i think most people are uncomfortable around women who are direct and honest
