Information Superhighway

How do you manage people who waste your valuable time by telling things that you don't want? Because my life is so valuable now (coz' I have only one month to live you see) if I spend 15 minutes a day listening to this crap, that makes it close to 8 hours, one full day. That's a lot of time wasted for a life time.

How do you avoid people with useless information to share:

1. Tell them point blank that 'Sorry I'm not interested. Can we switch topics please?'
2. Switch off and suddenly shake your head and ask, 'Sorry, you were saying..."
3. Whistle your favorite number while the other person rattles on.
4. Widen your eyes and say 'Life is so important, and how we waste our time on these things, I wonder'.
5. Quietly SMS your friend to call you, and when the call comes, talk animatedly.
6. Suddenly popup one of these questions from nowhere:

* 'Have you seen Elaan? Wasn't Mithunda fantabulous!'.
* 'Do you know Evam is staging their latest play in Sivagami hall?
Have you heard of Evam?'
* 'Have you read Ayn Rand's book Objectivist Epistemology? It's awesome'.
* 'Guess who sang 'En Vanile' in Jhonny? It's not S. Janaki'. Wink.
* Raise your hand, stop the person boring you and announce, 'Did you know?
