Aunt

It was as if she didn't understand the concept of 'shut up'. She would talk constantly without any moments of silence. Even when she was reading a newspaper she did it out loud and added her comments to what she was reading. Whenever she was watching a movie she would comment on the actions of the characters. She didn't really listen to what others were talking about. She knew every single event that was mentioned and she claimed that she had been there and had totally different version of the events than anybody else who had really been there. It was impossible to convince her or to show her your point of view and that made her even more annoying than she already was. The constant rambling and thinking out loud was something that made people go crazy around her. She would still continue doing it even when people asked her to stop. It was as if she wasn't aware of what she was doing or had no control over it whatsoever. 20 minute drive to the city centre with her was my little hell but my decent upbringing didn't allow me to throw her out in the suburbs, since she was one of my elderly aunts. So I just kept quiet and continued to steer towards the quiet salvation that city centre promised me.
