When I worked retail I just assumed the people doing that were really really lonely and would cap them off at about 3 minutes with a "well, it was nice meeting you" and either walking away or waving over the next customer. Never had anyone get huffy or upset about it, thankfully.
When I was working in a call centre, if someone started talking about anything other than the thing I was paid to pay attention to I'd just tune them out and wait for them to stop. You want to spend ten minutes rambling about your life? That's fine. I'm getting paid for this and you're not, so I'll say "mm-hmm" and "yep" at appropriate intervals. Doesn't bother me.

I hate talking about myself. Talking about my opinions? Sure. Love that. Talking about myself? No. gently caress off. I have nothing to say. gently caress off.

I like how every picture of a donut or whatever gets 40 000 American comments about diabetes but then they all actually do get diabetes from just their regular food, not desserts, because it's literally full of sugar. (That and they call burnt-coffee-flavoured sugar water "coffee".)

e: I don't like them getting diabetes, because in the US it's a deadly disease.

Yeah. They'd put fuckin corn syrup in milk, bread, or toilet paper if they could.

Oh wait, they literally do put it in Bread, and in baby formula.

They eat so much of the poo poo that it ends up in their breast milk too lol

They're the same thing. When you talk about your opinions you're talking about what you like. Usually, nobody else gives a poo poo lol, but here in this thread is a real special place where people do want to hear your opinions, if only to rag on them

I guess technically? But in reality there's a very clear difference. Some people love to talk about themselves. Like, tell you, a complete stranger, about their life, their medical issues, recent conversations with their families. Things that you have no context for or possible reason to care about.

If a stranger wants to tell me their opinions about some recent popular movie, there's the possibility that I may have seen it as well, and I've probably at least heard of it and know some basic facts about it. If they want to tell me about the argument they had with their sister over whether she's too lenient with her dog, well, I don't know the sister and I don't know her dog. It's not in the same category.

I mean a stranger telling me a random movie opinion vs a random anecdote about their kidney operation are both communicating something about themselves. Ones insufferable and likes movies and one's insufferable and has kidney problems

I have a good solution to that it's use it sparingly and when I do swear I say it in a cartoonishly exaggerated Bostonian yarp because that's extra funny.

overabundance of swearing is kind of annoying in any language tbh

plus, swearing loses its bite if you swear too much

phuo: there's nothing more cringe than "creative" Joss Whedonesque swearing (eg poo poo like "fucknugget" or whatever). again, this applies to english and to all other languages that share this "feature"

Sometimes old time swears sound nice, especially if you don't want to swear around kids.

I like the word poltroon for instance. That and "feckless" or servile.

People who hear you say "poltroon" assume you are saying an obscure slur.

I must be out of date with slurs or don’t know how to pronounce poltroon because nothing is jumping to mind.

It came into Engliah from the old French and means "coward". I always liked terms like Martinet as well, which means someone who is strict of discipline to a stupid degree and enjoys doling out punishment.
