Giving too much information too soon
My oldest son and his wife have a 16-month old daughter, Emme. They recently signed up for a college credit course at a local community college (in Washington state). The little kids are all in one room while the adults are in another getting some sort of parenting education.
My daughter-in-law Jan was not thrilled with the adult supervision in the kids' room so she and several other mothers (and an occasional father) stayed with the tots.
I'm not expressing my personal opinion about this particular topic, but it was clear how Jan felt. She recently told me about a breast-feeding mother who quite frequently fed her baby during the one-hour session. "I don't know her. I don't even know her name. But I saw her boobs at least five times during one hour!"
So I thought about networking and how you learn in the Certified Networker course how to build relationship first before interacting with others in a certain way.
So the take-home lesson for me here was - get to know someone; develop a relationship with them first; and then you can show them your boobs all you want!
So what's your favorite 'too much info too soon' story?

No offense Sandy, but I don't care how well I get to know you...I won't ever want to see your boobs. ;-)
I always get way too much information too soon from people. I don't know what it is! I met a woman recently who within the first 5 minutes of talking to me starting telling me all sorts of personal info about her female parts in great detail, which ultimately ended in her telling me she was getting a hysterectomy. Not exactly a conversation starter...

Too funny! There is a funny boob story that is not mine to tell in such a public space, but to condense it for public consumption; it is about a story of a woman who "whipped" it out in a networking event. Talk about gaining visibility!

"Show and tell" will not be held anytime soon. The "girls" have gone south.
