How to End a Boring Conversation
We’ve all been there – you’re at a party, a business function, the grocery store and you can’t escape a conversation that just keeps going. You think there’s a break to safely exit just around the horizon, but it never comes. Lite Reviews offers 5 ways to end a conversation that’s starting to get dull. Here are a few more, just in case those don’t work:
1) Fake a phone call – nothing tells someone they don’t matter like picking up your phone in the middle of a conversation.
2) Check your watch repeatedly (or if you don’t have a watch, check the time on your cell phone) – the sense of urgency makes other people nervous.
3) Mention socially innapropriate topics – there’s nothing like an absurd medical condition to kill a party.
4) Read your email – you need a smartphone or Blackberry for this one, but it will get the point across that you have something more pressing than the current line of discussion.
5) If all else fails, simply walk away.
