Most Polite Ways To End Conversations

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most effective, polite ways to shut down conversations with persistent chatterboxes.

It's as if they are so involved in venting to you or whatever ears are around, that they're incapable of seeing the clear sign that nobody wants to hear what they have to say. Consider trying out these polite conversation enders the next time you fall prey to a chatterbox in the wild.
