Being polite or rude, to someone who talks on a bit Options

[alivenwell]

lol dunno if there is a post on this already, don't think so, apologies if there is. Just for a laugh though, what would you normally do if someone talked on and on constantly about the same thing and you wanted them to stop?
although I would normally imagine in my head about somehow physically hurting them in order to stop them rabbling, I normally would actually look around to see if any of my friends could be my victim and place them in my spot, like "hey Roy...come over her and meet...." iheeheehehehe!!!Sweeeeeet!!! What would you do?

[The-Mach-Hare]

id have to tell them to stop because theyve just said the same thing. that or just walk away.

[parallel]

^Haha.
I'd say that I had to go and that I'd possibly talk to them later.

[enyceXaddiction]

look around or keep saying "uh huh...yep...riiiight..."

[Kenado]

I'd just walk away they probably won't even notice since theyre talking so much

[*stephinika*]

it depends on the person really...if it was one of my good friends, i'd just tell them. if i didn't like them very much...i'd probably tell them. otherwise, i'd make some excuse to leave.

[beambitious]

hm i usually just change the subject.they usually don't mind.

[StarryEyedSurpri...]

if im on the phone with the person who keeps talking i say something like "hey my mom said i have to get off the phone and do the dishes"...

and if im in person, i say something like "i gotta go to the restroom, but ill ttyl"

:]

[duplicatex0x0x0]

If I'm on the phone with a person that happens a lot, somtimes they know they are doing it, and I jsut allow them to talk. ha, other times i'm just saying yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, yep, whatever. but last night when I was talking to my friend he was watching this movie and I could hear it, so I knew what the people where saying. But NO. he HAD to repeate everyword that was said it really drove me crazy and I snapped and said "Tyler, shutup!"

[sm0kinm0nky]

I do alot of things, sometimes if I'm feeling mean i stare at there acne or pimples or something and I count them. I usually nod my head and say "yeah..", or I look at things in my surroundings

[I wear bow ties]

You should've added one that said "tell them to shut up and not care how they feel"

[jackizzle]

well i'm kind of uh hypocritical (sp?) in that way because i talk ALOT like majerly accessively but if someone else is talking that annoys me or is talking alot that i don't want to hear i jsut tell them to maybe shut up or start talking over them. lol

[Gizmoid]

I would say I have to go somewhere.
Or pretend to pay attention.

[[Scr3amin][Horro...]

I just say 'You talk alot, dont cha'
Then I would 'I got to go I got a appointment' or something like that

[`SWTWiNKLE3YES]

hah this topic reminds me of my Language Arts teacher in 7th grade .. she is so talkative that we never get on to things that we are suppose to. Whenever she talked to me too long i start to look somewhere else and just nod at watever she says.

[Paradox of Life]

Okay, whoever that put the last one needs to get some anger management counseling. The society begs you.

[JlIaTMK]

Haha, actually, I avoid eye contact with them. I really don't find anything else to do.

I'd rather not make much moves, whether it be get up and walk somewhere.

[*Azarel*]

Usually doesn't happen to me; I'm usually the one doing the talking. XD But "Dude, shut the fuck up" or "Remind me again why I care?" usually works.

[Heathasm]

i try to change the subject..usually when people are rambling on they are talking about themselves and their problems..so annoying

[Chii]

it differs depending on people with me too, when my boyfriend talks about gambling statistics, his experiences and how to play in a certain method so you win, i change the subject because i don't know what the hell he's talking about and i don't want out time together to be wasted on crap we both don't enjoy.

but with other people that i don't know i nod along because i don't know what to say...like this one girl who kept telling me about the history of buddhism or something...i kept looking around half listening, i was like . i did ask questions on what little i sort of understood so i didn't completely come off as rude.

[*lolita kitty*]

it depends who it is. if its my annoying 5 year old brother pausing his video games every two seconds to tell me that he beat someone, then i say "yeah ok connor. i know. now play your game. PLEASE"

if its my sister coming in my room every 5 seconds to tell me a song i like is on the radio or a tv show i like is on, i say "thanks" the first time and after awhile, i go "okkkkkaaaaaaaay, i get it caroline!!!"

but if its my teacher telling me [insert lecture here], i sit there and fidget with my hands, and pretend to listen =3

[gelionie]

I will wait politely til he/she finishes.
I have never done any of the above...

[*anubis*]

I just say 'You talk alot, dont cha'
Then I would 'I got to go I got a appointment' or something like that

yeah me too.

i've been having to deal with that for the longest time.

[*Weird addiction*]

I'll say:

SHUT THE HELL UP... if the person continues talking...i'll walk away...

EDIT// ok that was a lie ...

I'll try to be polite, i'll just smile and avoid eye contact, definately...or if the person's hot, i'll just show them my boobs or seduce them...or probably kiss them ...

[mocassinsx29]

To anyone, I'd bring it up in a joking manner.... "You've been talking quite the while, [insert name]! I think your biscuits are getting cold." Ah, yes, the humor.
