How do you rid of a boring person on the telephone? -ShortNSweet

C'mon...we would all be lying if we said that, not ONCE in our life, we have received a boring phone call...so boring, infact, that you would do almost ANYTHING to get away from it.... is there a solution?

I have a friend, his name is Matt... he talks about the most insignificant and irrelevant things....like,... he talk about phone number patterns... (like for example)... 1234... and he doesn't seem to ever wanna go. What do you do if ur too polite? Some ppl could probably be blunt, and be like "Well...yea... I have to go cause this is boring"... but not me... I feel bad about it too.. Help!?!? Any advice?? I don't even normally like talking on the phone as it is...

Say somethin' like 'Hey hold up, i've got another call comin' in' after you switch, wait a sec, then go back to his convo and say its important and you gotta go? *shrugs* LOL, sorry... all i can think of at the moment  
Date: 3/19/2003 6:05:00 PM  From Authorid: 37101    Put a pack of firecrackers right by the telephone, detonate them, scream "Ohmigod we're under fire!" then rip the phone cord out of the wall!... Yeah. -  
Date: 3/19/2003 6:05:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 54155    that would work perfect...except we don't have caller ID or call waiting...something I REALLY wanna get lol  
Date: 3/19/2003 6:15:00 PM  From Authorid: 53055    I know. :) Hang up and say that the power went out. :)  
Date: 3/19/2003 6:21:00 PM  From Authorid: 53427    Lol! I have the same problem and I hate talking on the phone anyway.  
Date: 3/19/2003 6:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 15228    In order to get rid of a boring person, I've actually gone and rang my own door bell and said oops, someones here, gotta go.  
Date: 3/19/2003 6:26:00 PM  From Authorid: 23075    Well, we have two telephone lines inour house...so if it is a boring person or someone I dont want to talk to I just motion to my daughter who goes to the other phone line not in use and calls the number I'm on...the phone will beep and I say "I have to let you go gotta long distance call coming in" It works everytime.  
Date: 3/19/2003 6:27:00 PM  From Authorid: 23075    And besides that I have call display on my line...which gives me the opportunity to either answer the call or ignore it and have it go to my voice mail.  
Date: 3/19/2003 6:43:00 PM  From Authorid: 47699    Start acting like you're vomiting. Then say something like, "Oh, Lord! I think that was my spleen that just came out! I'll talk to you later."  
Date: 3/19/2003 6:51:00 PM  From Authorid: 28193    Tell them that there is someone at the door! One day, we had a door to door salesman, and my husband answered the door. I called the house phone with my cell phone, and I told my husband that he was wanted on the phone!! LOL.  
Date: 3/19/2003 7:00:00 PM  From Authorid: 43186    Well you cud do what my duaghter does..she will walk up to me an say, "Mom, call me in a second and say you need the phone." LOL then I do it and wallah, she's off the hook. OR you cud say someone is at the door..you gotta go,, bye and hang up fast.  
Date: 3/19/2003 7:31:00 PM  From Authorid: 36766    I just hang up on them lol  
Date: 3/19/2003 7:32:00 PM  From Authorid: 36766    I'm gonna have to try Franks idea one of these nights  
Date: 3/19/2003 7:46:00 PM  From Authorid: 54570    Ok this one worked on me..on several occasions. Hang up on him, or just lay the phone down beside the radio. Eventually he will get the idea. Normally by the third time he will get the idea.  
Date: 3/19/2003 7:47:00 PM  From Authorid: 24924    Yell out something like: OMG! I forgot I had a pan of soup on the stove! Smoke is pouring out of the kitchen, gotta go! Also, what usually works very well is to just say you have a doctor/dental appointment, and you're running late already. Works for me.  
Date: 3/19/2003 9:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 3125    Maybe you should try making the conversation Short N (not too) Sweet everytime he calls. :) He would get the message real soon.  
Date: 3/19/2003 10:57:00 PM  From Authorid: 5252    how about doing the simple thing and saying 'hey i've gotta go, i have other things to do'  
Date: 3/19/2003 10:57:00 PM  From Authorid: 55988    I always say that my mom needs the phone or that it's time to eat dinner or something... I hate talking on the phone. ~Alicia  
Date: 3/20/2003 12:01:00 AM  From Authorid: 39887    I try not to be rude but if I have to I will say I have to go to the potty.  
Date: 3/20/2003 3:50:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 54155    *Its 8 o'clock Am* Hey...yea.... its almost dinner, and I have to set the table,..talk to you later. *click*  
Date: 3/20/2003 3:53:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 54155    Lol thanks... hehehe, Ilove the door one, cause its so believeable too.. =) heheh  
Date: 3/20/2003 4:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 49172    I tell them that I have something better to do, or that they suck and that i don't luff them anymore, lol.. but seriously, I just tell them I'm busy adn that I might call them later if I can :)  
Date: 12/10/2005 9:56:00 PM  From Authorid: 7574    I'm usually the boring one..lol
