Well, if u just interrupt then ur rude. It's a no-win.
Jiggiwatt
I do this to be passive aggressive when I keep getting talked over or interrupted. I wait until the room is silent and staring at me.

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.
Andied
Cant he just interrupt to talk about himself like a normal adult?

You maybe shouldn’t have used the ‘heil Hitler’ salute, but whatever.
Solturos
I would have reached over and high fives that raised hand. Transfer of awkwardness

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.
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"
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)
hellodepressionspeaking
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

Even at a job in a meeting I would prefer to raise my hand showing respect. If I were the boss I would want people to show that kind of resp
secretoaster
We have Vp's raise hands in meetings. Nothing wrong with it. It's a polite thing to do.
FairfaxJack
On the committee of a local festival; had to institute a "raise your hand to speak" policy because everyone was talking over each other
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!

Adults don't need to work as children
revadr
Sounds like you have free reign to interrupt next time, and if anyone gives you shit, you tell them to pick a lane.
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
Malinut
I was in a meeting with the Boeing Vice President and General Manager of the NASA Systems, hands were raised. It works.
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
Zreen
Because.
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
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.
toolzgalore2
I raise my hand in meetings all the time
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
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
Innoculo
I’ve never seen that in a meeting ever.
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
misstwaters
Horeshack!

Mr Cotteeeeer!
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.
