If you can practice this, start to train one of your eyeballs to slowly drift off whilst the other eye remains locked on theirs. That should do the trick.
Sorry, I have to return some video tapes.
Stand up and walk over to the door and open it and say “well this has been fun”
“Gotta go now, see ya!” And walk away.
Pull your phone out hold it to your ear say hello and oh ok then put your phone away then say sorry I have to go.
pretend you have an errand you have to get to. Promise to “catch up” *next time*. And bolt out.
Just start coughing these days it’ll clear a whole room in seconds.
I don’t want to talk about this anymore.
“I gotta piss”
“Oh my gosh I have already taken up so much of your time—I am so sorry! I’m even running late myself!”
Say “anyway. . . “, and wander off.
In Flanders we have a word for it.
“Bon” and then you say something i have work to do, iit’s time to go home, it’s time to get drinks.
And people realise the other person wants to leave without being mean
The last person to do this to me? I asked out and had an amazing, multi-year relationship with them. Kissing them on the mouth shuts them up.
“Oh man, that three bean burrito I bought from that dude in the abandoned K-Mart parking lot is not agreeing with me. Let’s continue this conversation in the bathroom, ok? I have to warn you though, there will be lots of screaming.”
“Listen, love to continue this fascinating conversation, but I sharted and need to go wash my ass cheeks”.
You stick yo D in his mouth
“I have to go”
Tell him you’re in a rush or that there’s an emergency
” oh my! I forgot to turn off my stove. Gotta go know. See you later!”
I have plans with my family/ someone else now and I have to go.
i start with “Im sorry but ….. i need to go or i need to do errand” then off to go
Remember that it is them who is being impolite by talking incessantly about things of no interest to their audience.
Look at your phone then go “ah shit I just remembered sorry gotta go” then just go.
Just leave
“Hold that thought, I gotta drop the kids off at the pool.”
Change your stance, instead of facing them head on turn 90° your body language will end the conversation quickly without being rude.
Insert question about something they said and quickly mention at the end that, _but hey, I am really running late._
Find a hedge and slowly dissapear into it.
I’ll ask if she has change for $50, when she asks why I’d say I need compensation for the time I can no longer get back.
I smell some sweaty balls, sorry gotta go, my lucky day 😀
Honestly just say you need to go and do something, a lot of the time some made up excuse isn’t even necessary
I smell some sweaty balls, sorry gotta go, my lucky day 😀
