Question of the Day - Friday, July 11th, 2025

[casportpony]

Today's question is from @Evadig:

How do you escape from someone that won’t stop talking?

I listen as long as I can, and if they show no sign of wrapping up, I politely interrupt them and say I have to go in five minutes.

 

[500Chickens]

I don't like to talk to people, so that's not really a problem for me

 

[notabitail]

Tell them I have to be going. Or just sit and listen. It depends.

 

[muddy75]

Tell them I have to go

 

[NotabitaiI]

I never can, it's my curse, I must hear them out.

 

[R2elk]

I tell him it's time to leave. After about the 10th time he will finally get in his vehicle.

 

[The Moonshiner]

Depends if I like them.
I'm really good at giving hints.

 

[sourland]

I nod my head and zone out.

 

[BoundlessLove]

If he’s with me, I’ll give my husband the “look” and he rescues me.

Change the subject to something they're not interested in.
