Loki was looking pretty fucking relaxed, all sprawled out and lounging at the desk while the students filed in. The class today was easy so he had no reason to look anything but. Once everyone arrived and took their seats, Loki started talking.
"Today, we're going to have an easy but important class. Today, we're going to talk about the oversharers." Loki had known many of these. Hell, Loki probably was one of these.
"Now, you may not pay much attention to these people in the grand scheme of things but I can guaran-fucking-tee that you will come across them and they will fucking annoy you. The type of oversharing can vary depending on the person but they can include: oversharing about their sexual shenanigans, their life stories, what they think about you, what they think about the world, and what they think about your sexual shenanigans in the scope of the world. Really, oversharing is just one of those things that you have to deal with but you wish you didn't."
Loki had heard far, far too much about how Bartleby was going to change the world, how he'd gotten the fucking shaft and how he wasn't going to take it. For the longest time, he'd been all talk, no action and Loki had invested in earplugs.
"Of course, the inverse of this might be that you are the oversharer. You're the person perfectly willing to discuss your various STD's on a first date with a guy or unwilling to shut the fuck up about your dog Skippy to the person sitting in the bus seat besides you. When that happens, you're not really seeing what you're doing as oversharing. Most of the time, you'll think of it as being friendly or being polite. It's not. It's oversharing and you need the shut the fuck up because, chances are, the other person is not interested."
Loki stopped talking and eyed the class, trying to pick out possible oversharers just from looking a them. "Today's activity is easy. Find a partner and overshare something. See how long it takes them to crack or to tell you to shut the fuck up. Person who's listening to the oversharing story? Listen to the story for as long as you can. At the first sign of annoyance, shut the other person up with non violent methods. Easy enough? Go to it.

She went on to talk about how cute packaging just couldn't make up for . . . flow requirements.
