View Full Version : Converstation Stoppers
thefreak'sfreak 09-04-2002, 22:40 so if you're stuck with somebody you don't want to talk to how do you get them to go away?
"So I said homicadel tendices be damn,I'm not taking anymore pills"
or
"Hey is that your mistress and wife over there?"
bill+ted 13-04-2002, 13:53 the best way to stop a conversation is be blunt. let me demonstrate. "i dont like you go away" honesty is the best policy.
"...and then the doctor told me i was supposed to stay away from sharp objects"
start scratching you private parts , or picking your nose and examining the contents .
Juxtaposed 14-04-2002, 01:20 Or just start staring at them blankly while they talk...not saying anything...
Like so>>>:eek:
I suggest staring blankly yet longingly at a piece of dust floating in the room for no more than 10 minutes . When they insist you tell them what your so interested in you you curl up into a ball start swatting the "imaginary" flies buzzing around your head and repeatedly shout "just leave my left nipple out of this ,I told you already its glandular.- Your foe will then proceed to smile and nod and drift away ever so gradually rendering you effectively conversationless - (very effective I would definately reccomend it)
I find lying on the ground and pretending to be a slug gets you out of any awkward situation. Tried and tested kids...

stairway 2 hell 01-09-2003, 02:41 everytime before you speak look off to the left as if you caught something suspicious outta the corner of your eye. then mid conversation just stop and stare at the other person and lick your lips. it also helps if the topic of conversation is on food.
claire.h 01-09-2003, 14:54 Unfortunately, many of those tactics will also result in nobody else, potentially more interesting, wanting to talk to you either!
What you do is: whenever you see someone with whom you know conversation will suck, you shout "Can't stop - I'm being timed!" and keep on moving... Speed is not necessary - just wiggle your @ss weirdly and claim you're a competitive walker.
the outlaw torn 01-09-2003, 17:51 at work when i don't want my boss giving out to me and trying to converse with me is at the very end of a sentance he's just said you say"i'm sorry what were you saying"
he'll repeat himself, after which you yet again say " sorry what was that" at which point he usually walks away.
yawning is always a good one.
or asking them "How do you spell Constantinople"
"If there was a mispelling in the dictionary, how would we know? "
"Why does Wil E. Coyote keep using Acme products if they never work? "
and note misspelling should be spelt m-i-s-s-p-e-l-l-i-n-g ;)
JennyPen 09-10-2003, 17:40 My favourite thing to say in a lift (only introduced to me this week) is lean over to your friend and say 'Did you get the cream for that rash?' Did it yesterday and the other girl in the lift shot out at the first floor, and she had pressed the button for the third.
well if you dont really like the person you can always use my favourite. interupt them in the middle of their sentence with,"I'm sorry, who gave you permission to talk to me?"
stairway 2 hell 10-10-2003, 14:47 stop the person mid sentence and say "i finally got around to reading the dictionary. turns out the zebra did it." and watch them move slowly towards the door.
JennyPen 14-10-2003, 11:53 If you're carrying on a conversation with someone, keeping looking from their chin to their hair and back and forth. Watch them back away or get very nervous. It's great. For the best reaction, adopt a number of different expressions, like for example - curiosity, examination, followed by amusement and then disgust. Heehee.
demonphate 14-10-2003, 13:06 just laugh histerically, ull soon b out of Said conversation

Simple. Yet effective. I like it. Think I might try that later. Mwahaha!
Watching ppl's noses is fascinatiing, esp if they are conscious that they flare thier nares when speaking, they get very odd
Watching ppl's noses is fascinatiing, esp if they are conscious that they flare thier nares when speaking, they get very odd, esp if you look up form below (its easier for those of us who are short but more distracting from a tall person who has to bend over to look)
Just reach for your phone and say "hello doc. , you have the results" and then ask the person to excuse you.
