At work, there are a few of us who hang out on the "stoop" for lunch. Topics of discussion are widely varied, and often resemble a typical GD thread, minus the "STFU faggot"'s.
In our department, we have a separate entrance from the rest of the company, so the only people who wander by are in our department. Generally, they'll stop and chat for a while. Most of them will listen for a while, to see what the topic of discussion is, and then join in. There is one exception, and we call him "Cliff Clayvin". He comes out, interrupts whoever is talking at the time, and then start talking about something totally unrelated, while everyone else is looking at each other like "WTF?".
Example: About four of us were talking about the NCAA tourney yesterday, and he comes out. One of the guys was talking about UConn, and was in mid sentence when Cliff decides to hijack the conversation to talk about sailing. Being polite, we let him finish his statement, and went back to the tourney. Well, Cliffy decides that this would be a perfect time to talk about his wife, effectively taking the infant conversation, and clubbing it into submission. Everyone, at that moment, decided that it must be time to go back to work.
What is the most annoying social trait that anyone you know exhibits?
