- adamriggins, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21we have a lady here at work that will lock you up in verbal prison if given the chance.
- glowfood, on 10/10/2007, -3/+22Luckily this doesn't apply to me: I live on the internet.
- Vodka23, on 10/10/2007, -4/+16Just whip it out. That should seal the deal.
- p0tent1al, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12This probably happens to EVERYONE, but I know for me this will definitely come in handy.
.....Too many times I'm trapped in someone ranting about something that can be summed up in about 3 sentences, or someone talking about something that I have no clue about, and don't give a ***** for that matter, or my personal favorite is the person that talks, but never is REALLY talking.
Or the one I hate the most, is the person on the cell phone you try to wrap it up with "Oh yeah I gotta go", and then it happens sort of like this
"Ok I'll let you go. I'll get back to you on that stuff tomorrow. Oh yeah speaking of stuff, I forgot to ask you about the other stuff...." and then they start the conversation back up! Usually I have to get a friend to yell out to me to "come on, let's go" loud enough so that they can hear, and then usually I can get off the phone. - elbaso, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13Last week I was at a party and met a weirdo who would follow me around the room asking my opinion on AIDs in minority populations... and I'm a software engineer!
Luckily, my wife pulled me outta there. - fernB, on 10/10/2007, -4/+13if only we all had a good exit strategy
- LordSkywalker, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9While they're in the middle of a sentence: I've gotta take a dump...
When they stop talking to look at you, shocked and confused, you smile, turn, and walk away. - inspecality, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9"smell ya later"
- mascot4hire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7i usually just say excuse me i gotta go your boring the ***** out of me.
- DephexTwin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6This has the added benefit of getting you out of any future conversations you would have had with this person.
- ClOlD, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Tap out. Slap the nearest horizontal, flat surface. Announce, "OK, I'm out!" Just walk away.
It's within posted regulations. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Here at Best Buy we have a customer known as "Zelda Boy" because of the Zelda hat he always wears. But if you by any bad luck get tied up in a question by him he ends up rambling and rambling about stuff you don't give a living crap about. So far the record is 33 minutes by a new guy who thought he was cool at first and later just wanted to hang him.
I always pretend like I have to go take a call in the back and kindly excuse myself - PaleOgre, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6"I have to return some video tapes"
Is always a good one - DephexTwin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5So... while they're scratching their heads trying to figure out what the hell that sentence means, you make your escape?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5"Would you excuse me? I cut my foot before and my shoe is filling up with blood."
-Romy, "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion" - cmadach, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5i still find that the best way to get out of a conversation is with a blinding flash and a cloud of smoke. but this is just me.
- LethalAmbition, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4You mean Digg users don't go to parties.
- pixel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4At work (where some just come to chat for what could seem like an eternity) I have a special shortcut on my desktop which will send me a text message on my cellphone. Phone chimes in about 20 secs and I say: "Um, gotta go"
- LethalAmbition, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Wtf is that
- LucasKane, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4*ZIP*
- igetnospamatall, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4my favorite:
i don't think you fully appreciate the gravity of the situation - maiku00, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5nothing like obsolete excuses
- mishaco, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4snagglepuss , is that you ?
- DephexTwin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4That's a surprise; it looks like you need more practice at it.
- TheElusiveTool, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Social skills are for users.
- Jowitz, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4No, they can have wives, just not sex.
- inspecality, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3man, i thought you cared what i had to say but you really had to go. my feelings hurt now.
- Neorio, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Just say their name, excuse yourself, and then exit.
Abrupt and polite, all at the same time. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2"part of me wonders what her head looks like on a stick"
- misfitpanda, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3"Grab a drink or hit the toilet and then find a friend or another contact"
But..but what if we spark a conversation with someone drinking on the toliet??? - g0nzilla, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2nice American Pshyco quote!
- sexylee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Some people need to read this.
- skyfire1, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Just say "BYE *****" and give them the bird when you walk away. It works. No one wants to talk to me. :D
- neau, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Dugg for Pink Panther quote.
- loganhid, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1i knew this gun would come in use some day........
- DephexTwin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Excuse me, I need to powder my whig.
- karltonDance, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1That is the most ingenious thing I've heard all month.
- andrewcsayer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2"All the breast!"
- Takfam, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I'm in the same situation. I have a sales rep that will tell me to hold on a minute while she searches for a client's file, then ends up bitching and moaning forever like I'm her therapist or something. Current record stands at about an hour and a half. Ordinarily, I have to put up with it because I need the client's file she's "searching" for.
The only time I flat out stone-walled her was when she called my boss a Nubian (not literally, it was another N-word, use your imagination). I asked her what she said, she tried to backtrack and I hung up on her. Sometimes, you have to be rude. Its the only way some people get the message. - mstoneburner, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1No, Kevin Rose just needs to fix the broken comment system.
- trigon77, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Cooo-stan-za
- jbess, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1i generally tell my guy friends that i'm with a girl and my girl friends that i'm helping another female friend with some life problem on the other line.
works fine. - ColonelJessup, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Just sneer. A well timed sneer will dry up any conversation quicker than anything else.
- andrewdraw, on 01/11/2008, -0/+0http://mp3-skazki.net/ Сказки скачать Just say their name, excuse yourself, and then exit. http://techno-minimal-bit.com/

- Bukkfrig, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0"Yeah, anyway. I gotta go... slash my wrists. I'll see you later. Cheers."
- lincolnluxor, on 10/10/2007, -5/+4How not to finish up a convo: "Duces!"
God I hate it when people say that... - mahdaeng, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1"Too many times I'm trapped in someone ranting about something that can be summed up in about 3 sentences"
Kind of like your post? - AttilaD, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1Dugg just to get out of an awkward conversation....
