Dear God...SHUT UP!!!

[GrinningManiac]

You know those people, we all know one or two

Those people who, when annoyed or exasperated or simply ranty, repeat the same few things over and over again like a broken record until you are so sick of them that you consider jumping out the window just to end the constant natter.

My Mum, for example, has JUST screwed up printing a Google Maps thing, and now she's wandering around repeating "That's not what I printed!" "It's wrong!" "Half that stuff wasn't even on the page" ad naseaum.

So, my friends, how do YOU deal with these broken-record people? You know shouting at them or saying Shut Up will just make them have a go at you, meaning they'll repeat a few lines of dialouge at YOU, and you know that leaving will just mean they become an annoying, constant muffle from downstairs.

How do you stop them yammering?

If I'm arguing with them, just swallow my pride and end the argument regardless of who was winning because if they are just repeating themselves over and over, you clearly won't be able to change their mind anytime soon and they will think they have won no matter what you say to them.

"End of discussion!"

Promptly leave.

My sister is just the same, constant broken record syndrome.

I have the patience of Job, yammering people never bother me that much.

Unless they're on TV in wich case I change the channel.

My mum also has the habbit of never dropping anything that bothers her if it annoyed her, no matter how small it is. She never has the problem of letting everyone know about it either.

The way I deal with it is usually let them finish becuase those people talk a lot and then respond with one word (I find "cool" works well) and it just then seems to stop. If it doesn't I just keep saying that one word over and over again so they realise that I have no interest at all.

My grandmother and her racism. It's... awkward.

I simply don't even start fucking talk to them.

In a neutral-offensive manner my mom has constantly been asking me counter questions for all questions she says like "How was school".

If I answer her with a "It was fine", depending on the tone of my voice, she will ALWAYS reply with a counter-question, and it goes on and on and on with repeat questions...

And since this happens on a daily fucking basis, I get fed up and just simply don't talk. I don't.

As for you, get some earmuffs or listen to some music.
It'll do you good.
Just to get you started.

i simply argue back till they shut up lol.

when i go on a rant, i get louder and louder, so ppl moan at me to shut up so they can make their point, they then make an invalid point, or repeat themsleves, so i rant again, but i never repeat myself, or rarely do lol

If they think they have won the argument then you should bamboozle them by referring to The Chewbacca Defence. [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ChewbaccaDefense]

As they probably don't get this, it shall sufficiently confuse them enough as to let you claim a Chewbacca Defence victory.

 

[Harlemura]

I think I'm actually one of those annoying people.
People stop me by just telling me to shut up.

My social skills may be lacking, but you can't deny I'm obedient.

my girlfriend.

This. But add "ex" to it.

That is pure fucking genius. You should be writing books about this sort of shit man.

Once more, that's gold. 10/10 for you.

My usual method is extreme amounts of blunt speaking. Nothing fancy or complex arguments. Be straight, be slightly vulgar and be without mercy... Failing that make sure you can shout louder than they can.
