Drop Something to Stop Talkers

We've all been in conversations where someone just won't stop talking, and it's impossible to get a word in. A clever trick to interrupt a non-stop talker is to discreetly drop something noisy, like your keys or a pen.

This brief moment of distraction can give you the opening you need to shift the conversation or finally get your point across. Just make sure to use this sparingly — if it becomes obvious, it could backfire.
