Could you please stop talking?
I've always had sort of a (bad) habit of talking out of turn. Not when someone else is making a presentation but just at random intervals. It hasn't gotten me in trouble yet however now it's given some in my class something to look forward to every day. Sometimes they complain if I don't say anything. If they understood they would know that sometimes I just don't feel like talking and that it's not a matter of blurting out whatever comes to mind but finding the right moment and in that moment, picking the right quip.
They seem to think that I'm something like a parrot or a jukebox and that if I push the button, something funny will come out.
I also think that they can't take me seriously anymore. If I were to delve into a serious subject, I think they would either laugh thinking I was making it a joke or laugh because they're used to doing so when they hear my voice.
Then if I don't say anything, they'll ask, "Schweitzer, why didn't you say anything during class?"
