Do you have people that make you not want to listen to them?

How many people do you avoid? Do you know people that 90% of the time when you have to speak to them even for legitimate things it digress in to a ventfest? They seem to think you want to hear about how the dentist screwed up the appointment or overcharged them, what new they believed their ex did, or how their old man did this or that again, how their back is always aching and they can’t get it to stop. I have my own problems I don’t have time to hear theirs for the 6th time that week. Do these people think it will get better by repeatedly telling me than coming up with a workable solution or just forgetting about it?
