That's crazy…

Oh snap

After a while their voice becomes a drone.

Then you notice a beat to their droning.

Start shifting from one foot to the other, and really try to feel that beat.

Then start getting into it. Like James Brown, start saying like: yow! uh-huh! yeeeeah! watch me! keep it going! that's right now!

Sometimes, people really appreciate that. (but employers rarely do.)

You're kidding.

Gotta slap the knee and say "well, I spose..."

Time to tag in a ringer...

Poor OP is getting too tired even for passive-aggression! (Fortunately I'm not)

Much as I hate Scott Adams, some of his older comics were pretty good.

Really?

Huh.

Sheesh.

This is the point where you pull out your phone and say "I'm so sorry I really have to take this call"

First get naked, then inflate & deflate your head until they leave.

It works shockingly well.

Damn that's crazy

Just stay silent and stare them down. That will probably annoy them enough to stop talking.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That doesn't work. They'll just continue to talk at you. If backing away for two minutes doesn't give them the hint then continuing to look at them will just encourage them more.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Nah. Just pull your phone out and start watching YouTube videos at loud volume and just pretend they don’t exist anymore.

Ohhhh yea?
