People chatting in my house: Wow, have you ever thought about how much people talk? What's the longest you've gone without talking?
Other people chatting: Only a few hours.
Me, trying to speak up for the first time that night: I've gone for..
People chatting and talking over me: Maybe half a day without talking? That's so long!
Me, finally getting a word in when the topic of conversation has moved on: I know you all didn't hear me because you were too busy talking over each other, but I've gone four days without talking. It was nice.
Me: Waits for them to recognize the irony and laugh.
Them: Don't notice I said anything, continue chatting amongst themselves.
