4. I don't foot tap.

That's about when I take out my phone and browse DU and FB.

[Iterate]

5. TLDR

8. Hurry the fuck up

is what I usually tell people. That doesn't always work with Germans so I just start yawning.

9. There really isn't much you can say to people that drone on and on

because they don't hear you anyway. I slip into a coma til they're done yapping and then move on out of there as fast as I can.

10. The older I get

the more comfortable I get with just pretending like I don't even hear them in the first place. We are on the same page.

11. How about the ones that tell you the same story, in detail, again and again

Even after you tell them, "yeah, you already told me a hundred times."

12. I would refer them to get medical help

for dementia, Alzheimer's or Histrionic Personality Disorder.

[graywarrior]

13. I duck tape them

[texanwitch]

14. Me to.

It happened to me a few years ago.

Just tell me the damn story, short and quick.

[graywarrior]

16. It happens to me almost every day!

[Agschmid]

15. I usually finish listening...

Wait what?

[LWolf]

17. I work with

2 men who can't shut up. Ever. Daily: "This will take 3 minutes. I swear." 30 minutes of listening without giving any input later, I walk out, knowing that I'll be there 30 minutes longer that day making up the lost time.

18. You must work with my brother...lol

He never takes a breath.
