Now I know how.
I was having troubles trying to figure out how to end conversations with guys that I really don’t have time to talk to. When I’m out and about or at work I’m busy and have a lot going through my mind. I really don’t have time to pause to talk, however, it’s always during those times when I get stuck in conversations with guys that I can’t seem to get out. It’s been bothering me cuz I’m busy and I’ve usually got a goal or objective in mind when I’m out and about. So whether I’m at the police station dropping wallets left behind or at the grocery store or at the theatre, I just feel obligated to entertain their banter just to be polite.
For example: It was near closing time and a guy came in to buy a ticket, but all the movies had already started. I went over to close the doors and sympathized/apologized for him missing all the shows. Unfortunately for me, he began to tell me all about his mother, his life story and his job. He just kept going and going and going. I have a million things to do when the theatre shuts down and really don’t have time to talk. I kept trying to end the conversation, but he would keep bringing up something else and asking me 20 questions. *sigh*
Now I know how people feel like when they get into conversations with me. 
I was looking around for someone to bail me out of this conversation. I didn’t want to be rude since he was a customer, but I was not interested in anything he had to say. I had on my fake smile and I was sure he could tell, but I couldn’t careless. I was trying too hard to pay attention and to pretend to be interested. I even walked him out the door and he kept talking to me. Finally a brilliant thought came into my head. He asked me what I did after high school. I saw my golden opportunity.
“Well, I went to school and got a photojournalism degree, then I got married, knocked up and pregnant. Basically spent the last 10 years spawning children. I have 5 kids ages 10 and under. My 5 kids keep me really busy. They are really wild and crazy. I can’t believe how expensive they are too!”
LOL… the look on his face was priceless. I don’t look like I have 5 kids so he was shocked. That ended the conversation right there. He just said, “Wow! You must be busy! I can’t believe you have 5 kids.” He mumbled goodbye or something and turned and left.
Thank Gawd. I closed the doors behind him laughing to myself. My boss was in the office.
“Geez! Thanks for bailing me out! Way to leave me there.” I chided him.
“Oh, I thought he was your friend.” He said.
“No! I was trying to get out of the conversation and he wouldn’t shut up! I don’t know the guy from Adam. At least now I know how to get rid of guys I’m not interested in talking to anymore. Just start talking about the fact I have 5 kids and guys just flee.”
“Really? Cuz I love it when women have children. I think it’s sexy.”
I just look at him in shock. “Huh?”
“Well, that just means they put out.”
I just laughed. “I think women that don’t put out are crazy and I don’t understand them.” I respond. “I’m trying to figure it out actually. I’m really curious as to why they don’t love it and are not after it all the time. Weird. I guess, if I was more normal I wouldn’t have so many freakn’ kids.”
