Why do the British people insist on constantly having to talk?

Recently at lunch with a friend, there was this foul smelling British woman, wearing a very ratty sweater and dykey haircut, who talked constantly and loudly through the entire luncheon. We then went to an exhibit and there was yet another loud mouth non stop talking Brit there. Why do they insist on the constant chatter and being heard by everyone??

Talking clears the halitosis.

Brits are the Ugly Americans of Europe. You haven't lived until you've been stuck sitting at the same table with them on a cruise ship. They have a definite opinion on every topic and want everyone to know it.

She probably spotted your faggy haircut and figured she'd hush you before you lisped all over lunch. She was actually trying to save you the embarrassment.

Because Americans have enabled them for years by fawning over them.

You have a friend? I seriously doubt that.

Why are Yanks so fucking racist? That’s a better question.

I agree that the British can have a particularly annoying style of talking. I had a temp job once with a group of Brit backpackers and I was driven away by their constant inane chatter. Everything they said was so bleedin' obvious.

R8 you really just showed your ass. British is not a race. It is a nationality.

I’m sorry OP, but was there a particular reason or purpose you felt the need to post this? It really doesn’t seem to fit in.

There have already been several threads on this OP. Would it have killed you to have done a search first before you posted this? I mean really? What’s wrong with having a little consideration for others and doing a search first? Would it really have been that hard? Would it?

Would it have killed you to have at least posted a picture or link OP? Would it? I mean would that have really been so hard? Would it? Why don’t you try to think more of others next time before you post? What's your problem? I mean really, what's your damn problem?

Just adding these for you, as I believe these three are your usual fare and I’d hate you to miss out on experiencing the snarky cuntiness of them.

A loud mouth Brit got on the subway and you could hear him talking all over the car. Even the noise of the car did not drown him out.

Generally, 'USians' are far "louder" than Brits :). You can often "hear" an American before they even make their entry into a room :).

However, Brits do like to "hear [italic]themselves[/italic] talk" more. Why? Because many Brits have a very sing-songy, affected style of talking. Some truly are "in love" with the sound of their own voice. Sometimes it's forgivable - because *some* Brits have very velvety voices and even if they do prattle on & on annoyingly, it can be music to the ears if their voice is velvety enough.

To summarise: American tourists often talk loud (in a subconsciously dominating way) - to be heard by everyone in the room / space or to overshadow any other convo going on in the space. Brits often talk not as loud, but prattle on more - because they just love to hear the sing-songy ripples, cascading waves and trills (or croaks) of their own voice.

Here's an example:

R13. That’s a pretty stupid answer. I didn’t hear any Americans talking on the train. Just the loud mouth Brit.

"THE" loud-mouth Brit, R14 / OP? The ONE? Two? What kind of hilarious "sample size" is that.

Re-read your own "stupid" thread title - it says "THE British people" (i.e. national community). "THE Brit" (singular) is not "THE British people" (community).

I'm telling you that "THE British people" are not internationally known for "speaking loudly" - they're known for prattling. The community most associated with "speaking loudly" are Americans.
