Stop and Chat
April 1st, 2007 . by contemptster 
Uh oh… here I come. That’s me approaching you from down the hall. Quick, duck into the bathroom or something before you get stuck in a “stop and chat” with me.
Oh, too late! “Hey, there. Did you hear about Betsey in finance? Oh, well she blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.” Are you thinking, “How do I get out of this?” You can look for that opening in the conversation all you want. It ain’t coming. I can talk like this for at least ten minutes straight. I just don’t know when to end it. And I definitely don’t sense that you are bored/annoyed/angry/not paying attention, nor do I care. I’m oblivious to anything outside of the words coming out of my mouth, which just so happen to be the most important pieces of intellect you are going to hear today.

The surefire way to avoid the stop and chat is to follow Larry David and use the “My mother just died and I need time to myself” excuse.
