How can you get someone to change topics when they wander away from the important points?
Tell them to stop wasting your time and give you the information requested,no that wont do,to rude,tell them you have an important engagement and can't chat.
How can you get someone to change topics when they wander away from the important points?
Be polite and wait for them to finish, and then try again.
I met a Vegas showgirl once. She had one foot a shoesize bigger than the other, which made buying shoes very expensive for her...
Interrupt politely but say, %26quot;Listen, sorry, but we were talking about...%26quot;
Explain that you really need to get to the bottom of whatever it is that you're wanting to know. Yes, be polite, but also be stern in saying that you need certain information and that you don't have a lot of time. Maybe you could start off by saying that you have a time restriction and that you need to know...
I have this problem and find it hard to be nice sometimes... I don't necessarily lash out but my body language and face give it away, I'm sure. Keep talking about what it is you are trying to get across, no matter what they say. Smile and then mention the subject again and again. Don't encourage any small talk in any way. They'll get the point.
Here's a good line to use in that situation:
%26quot;You know, I think what you're saying there deserves further consideration. Let's get back to that when we've got sufficient time to devote to it. %26quot;
Then re-start conversation on topic of interest.

Take control of the conversation. You call the bank about your account and the clerk starts going off about the girlie show in Vegas, just politely interject and say something like %26quot;yea, sounds fun... but listen, I'm kinda rushing here, so what should I do about my account?%26quot; With friends, it's the same... you %26amp; Joe are talking about an issue you have and he goes off on a tangent about problems his wife, it's okay to say %26quot;yea, sorry to hear that, but getting back to my issue... what do you think I should do?%26quot; People naturally go into %26quot;their%26quot; story. Think about it, when someone comes to you with an issue, your first instict is usually %26quot;yea, that happend to me once!%26quot; LOL!!
I keep it simple: %26quot;Okay, so what were we talking about originally? Oh yeah! It was. . . .%26quot;
Yes, quite annoying. Could you perhaps just say 'yeah so....' or 'yeah, anyway'. Or if they really dont shut up, just say 'sorry would you mind if we got back to this'
Hope that helps
Vegas show girls.. and a bank? Ooook!
Well, if your initial conversation had anything to do with spurring the talk in that direction, grab the bull by the horns and make sure You steer it back to whatever coral You want it in!
In other words, Assert Yourself!
%26quot;Speaking of Show girls, I'd like to be shown My balance (Or whatever)!%26quot; LOL!
It could be that you have been date r ape d rugged.
Often, the general public will not know how to breach the subject that someone you know has put you on the web in video's with x's in the title. They will assume it's you that gave permission, rather than your posterior wiggled for the camera because you knew somebody who knew somebody who both has a horse and sells more d ope because none of his customers ever loose a promotion to a non-user because they are fired on %26quot;moral grounds%26quot; after someone tells him about that new video, made of course by squirting date r ape d rugs into ones soft drink at work from a 1/2 once squeeze bottle from five feet away, then taking carer of business whilst one is in none to obvious stupor.
(I actually caught a co-worker doing this at one establishment I worked at though it was never determined what was in that squirt, and didn't find out until years later that someone was ruining me as a preliminary to divorce ).
It could even be that such an %26quot;event%26quot; is court ordered.
Psycho-tropics can act as date r ape drug. They alter libido. Any drug that alters libido can cause a %26quot;swing%26quot; from depressed libido to enhanced libido as the drug leaves the system, before ones natural chemical equilibrium is restored. These are commonly proscribed by courts in responce to requests from conserfative industrial types in %26quot;controling%26quot; %26quot;mental illness%26quot; in the workforce.
For instance, the crime of Tax money redistribution is recognised by Reagan Revolutionaries and other conserfatives as being a serious crime; but the Liberals do not recognise that Reagan declared this to be the case pre1980 election and that ALL supreme Court Justices since then get paid to agree with him. This means if you vote pro-school funding via taxation rather than voucher you are an ill person, suffering of course from tax kleptomania. Your a theif by Supreme court standards as you take fropm one person's taxes to pay for the schooling of another, but that first person might not want to spend a dime on public schools as his kids are taught privately and he sees that schooling is advantagious to those other kids and that they will thus be a stronger compeditor with his own children because his taxes were unconstitutionallt %26quot;redistributed%26quot; for his neighbors gain (they don't have then to pay for their kids to go to school ~ but rather unconstitutionally steal from tax money that might go for a better Army to protect his World Trade Center).
This is not my position. This is the Supreme Court's position. Furthermore it is their position that as you can be told but you are a kleptomaniac as you and 98% of the population will not understand and thus refuse to do the legal thing and either refrain from breaking constitutional law or change the US Constitution.
But as a nut case in most states you don't have the right to know you are being doped. If all of your family is %26quot;Liberal%26quot;, you don't have the right to be told that your assets are being seized, if they are seized. None of you do. Nor is there a fund to track down relatives who might be Goldwater Conserfatives; so your property is too often placed in the hands of local Al Qiada drug dealers ~ the most fanatically conserfative people about.
So, whilst you are being d ate r ape d rugged and taped and laughed at, and set up for a great Humpty Dumpty off that great wall, you do not have the right to know anything about what is done to you for your own good.
In Maine literally this is section 555 of the criminal code: paraphrased, ' it is a class e crime to by action or innaction cause harm to the mental or physical welbeing of the retarded or mentally ill' (as I recall that section). This means telling you that you've been raped by the court and made fun of online like a pilgrim in Stocks being left to be raped repeatedly by Indians, bears and anyone else... is likely to be seen as upsettibng to you by the court ordering you r aped and thus a crime punioshable by up to 6 months in jail per offense.
It does matter who you vote for. Vote Liberal.
just say politely: we are getting a bit off topic, now i was talking about...
