When someone is talking nonstop it can make you feel trapped...so how do you get out alive?

We've all been in conversations with people who never stop talking. But how can you politely escape from a chatty friend, coworker, family member, or total stranger without saying something like...'PLEASE STOP!' ?

When a user asked the internet 'How does someone politely end a conversation with a person who won't stop talking?' sixteen strangers shared their sweet (and some not so sweet) tips for bailing during a never ending story.

1.

Say, 'Sorry, I must relieve myself in the restroom.' It doesn't mean you don't like them. You just HAVE to go. -pizzanight

Just start coughing these days it'll clear a whole room in seconds. - SinisterPigeon

If you can practice this, start to train one of your eyeballs to slowly drift off whilst the other eye remains locked on theirs. That should do the trick. - TheZestyMan

7.

Pull your phone out hold it to your ear say hello and oh ok then put your phone away then say sorry I have to go. - thelifeofnerfingwolf

8.

Be honest and kind. Find a moment where they pause – everyone has to take a breath at some point if they want to continue talking. '[NAME], I am sorry to interrupt you. I really need to go now! Hopefully we can talk again soon. Have a nice day!' - Brutalonym

9.

Change your stance, instead of facing them head on turn 90° your body language will end the conversation quickly without being rude. - Zedd2087

Ninja smoke cloud and then BAM! backflip your way to the nearest exit. - illusiveXIII

12.

If on the phone, put your phone on airplane mode. The other person will see 'call failed.' - Life_is_a_meme_204

13.

Look at a stranger, pretend to be friends with them, wink at them and say something along the lines of 'Oh my gosh i haven’t seen you in so long!'...This is only if you are very desperate! - dear_recognition6545

14.

I let my gaze float away from their face and stare into the distance. Then snap my fingers and say “You just reminded me of something. Have to go but we’ll talk again soon.” - msbottlehead

15.

Fake a medical emergency or allergic reaction. Start saying, 'I am very itchy and need help.' You can't tell someone in a medical emergency that they're being rude for interrupting. - twitchytacofries

16.

Fall down unexpectedly. They will have to stop their bad story and be like ARE YOU OK? - mlwhy1987
