    I sometimes finish the sentence for them to speed things along. It’s a bad habit of mine and I try not to be rude about it. Hopefully it just comes across as understanding and supportive rather than usurping the conversation.

      everyone hates it, and no, you don’t know what people are about to say all the time.

        I’m usually right about 60% of the time with strangers, though I’m intentionally not finishing the sentence aloud.
        With friends and coworkers it’s usually that we’ve forgotten a common word somehow and just appreciate the other person remembering it for us.

            It prevents the sentence from continuing which makes everyone want to either leave the conversation or try to “help out”. Same principle.

      I really hate when people interrupt what i’m saying before i finish my train of thought, so i try not to do that to others. Instead i just suffer in silence as they meander for what feels like forever and get increasingly annoyed at them

      This only makes it a million times more frustrating when i wait for them to completely finish their points, and then get interrupted as soon as i start speaking.
