On the committee of a local festival; had to institute a "raise your hand to speak" policy because everyone was talking over each other

It's funny how they drill this idea in your head to not talk unless called on and then we're made fun of because we can't drop a 18+yo habit

Cant he just interrupt to talk about himself like a normal adult?
DildoRodeo
Man, this millenial blame shit is so old. "Sorry I'm so nice because my parents weren't and I was FORCED INTO IT WAH"
Way2gowhip
Well, if u just interrupt then ur rude. It's a no-win.
drownthesun
I have my entire workplace putting their finger on their nose if they have something to say. Didn't mean to. It's what I do. It's hilarious
Jellybeanp
I genuinely still do this.. Everyone stops and looks for a bit.... But it gives me enough chance to get my words in. If it works it works!

I was at head office for my work and we all did that. It's being respectful.
Patikslap
If you weren't with 27 other CHILDREN than that is your fault. Dumbass.
Wellshiet
1. It's not real (Probably this. Most likely.) 2. We're not getting the full story of this guy making an ass of himself
muwah
And people giggling is not the same as being laughed at. This is 100% not a big deal.

Adults don't need to work as children

I would have reached over and high fives that raised hand. Transfer of awkwardness

You maybe shouldn’t have used the ‘heil Hitler’ salute, but whatever.
CarlottaVonSprockett
It’s weird the things that people choose to make us feel bad about. “Haha you fool for raising your hand. Let us all laugh at the fool.” Wtf
NefariousBueller
It’s like we are taught to raise our hands to learn patience & respect for later when we are expected to have both without the hand (1)
NefariousBueller
But instead people just talk all over each other and the loudest and best interrupters get the floor. So I’m all for hand raising (2)
laestrella
I sometimes need to raise my hand otherwise I'll just talk over people. I'd rather look a bit silly than be rude

I was in a meeting with the Boeing Vice President and General Manager of the NASA Systems, hands were raised. It works.
CharlieBronsonsfloppyphallusfight
There’s a large portion of corporate America (and elsewhere, I’m sure) that sincerely believes being an asshole is a skill set. It isn’t.
revadr
Sounds like you have free reign to interrupt next time, and if anyone gives you shit, you tell them to pick a lane.

Did you ask permission to go to the toilet? It’s polite and has been forced on you for more than 12 years.
DynamicSporadic
This is also very good etiquette for vidcons where a 1 second delay can mean everyone talks over each other.
secretoaster
We have Vp's raise hands in meetings. Nothing wrong with it. It's a polite thing to do.
xHughJassx
It probably wouldn't have been so awkward if it wasn't a one-on-one meeting
ChainmailleAddict
I do that if the other person is full of themselves and won't let you talk. I feel like it's a polite way to express that.
Fuzzynubz
This one.
SubtleOrc
Why do people repost this shit .. and why do people ask questions as if the OP was actually involved. Weird

BrokeMyFunnyBone
They're probably hoping someone somewhere have looked into it enough to answer their questions

Role play
Zreen
Because.
toolzgalore2
I raise my hand in meetings all the time
Innoculo
I’ve never seen that in a meeting ever.
Alecchi
Makes sense in meetings not when you're talking to friends though
ilovemyboobs
I'll raise my hand if im in a group and person A is telling a long story and I HAVE to speak next. it works well for us. lol
baldricka
Just one finger extended?
smuxi4
I extended one finger and they got offended
Outlawnightmare
i use two fingers because i want them to enjoy themselves
MemeSins
I generally will do a casual one-finger with the others kinda slack, a vague gesture of interjection. I don't go "Ooh-Ooh me me!"
hep0710510
I do the same. Usually it's the middle finger
