As I walk along..

On a number of occasions, I came across people who make me guess. Well, these people would start up a conversation or making a statement from the middle of nowhere. They were not the storytellers who started with “once upon a time….” They started with the middle of the story, gave me a bit of the front part and without the crucial ending. They made statement with incomplete sentence. They provided less than half the information required to make sense of an issue. They probably thought I know what they meant because in their minds, they knew what they were talking. Very often, they were impatient and dislike questions. In effect, they left a lot of guessing work to the listener. Most of the time, the guess was wrong and the resulting misunderstanding may lead to serious consequence.

My response to these people will depend on the nature of the conversation and the circumstance. If the information were important to me, I would persist to seek clarification. If the information is of no concern to me, I can choose to ignore those talks or pretend to understand in keeping up with good mannerism.
