    It depends on who it is that is boring me and what the topic is.
     
    Sometimes I find something to laugh at and have them start laughing at something entirely different.
     This also falls under changing the topic, not-so-gracefully.
    Sometimes I cry.
    Sometimes I urgently have to pee.
    Sometimes I fake sneeze and say my allergies are acting up.
    Sometimes I ask them an off-the-wall subject.
    Sometimes I stare at them with that blank stare.  Rarely though.  This one is rather rude.
    Sometimes I cry.  I can't do this on command.  I have to really go somewhere deep and sad.  It's another tough one.
    Sometimes I ask them to start analyzing  why they are so interested in this subject.  I might find an incling that would interest me.
    Sometimes I am polite and wait it through.
    Sometimes I just nod and smile.
    Sometimes I think of all the ways I can get them off the subject, gracefully.
    That is all I can think of that I've done at the moment.

    That'll work!  It also is good for clearing the room!  Hopefully you had egg and tuna-fish sandwiches for lunch!  OHHHH YAAaaaaa.  The smells that linger!!! :):) This post was edited by Merlin at September 28, 2018 7:26 PM MDT

    I let them talk while pretending to listen. If I’m in a bad mood I bluntly tell them I’m not interested.
