Conversation killer

I have just learnt a new conversation killer, this simple 2 words can kill a conversation effectively, useful if you feel like brushing someone of before he/she can say more. 

Just say, "No time"

The other party (even if dumb) will immediately get the message and stop talking to you completely. It also functions well as a mood killer to the other party, talk about killing two birds with one stone.

If that sounds a little rude to you, you can try something like "Srry, no time, ttyl" to make it sound friendlier. 

Conversation killer #2.
Don't say Hello/Hi/Ello/Ni hao/Konichiwa

Just type a "?" or say "what?"

This will send the other party a message that you don't feel like talking. Why? Because you're so busy/pissed/upset or whatever you're doing . Totally a convo killer and makes you sound rude and unrefined. 

Put them together and you get something like this:

Pesky person: Hello
(You are busy so you try to sound uninterested by using "?" or "What?" instead of "Hello")
You:?
(Pesky person, however, is quite dim-witted and dosen't get the message, so he/she carries on typing/talking)
Pesky Person:Nothing much, just want to chat.
Pesky Person: I came across something interesting on the net.
(Before Pesky Person can continue, you unleash your weapon "No Time")
You: No time
(Pesky Person realizes that you are uninterested,probably gets irritated and closes the conversation if on msn, or walks away if in real life ).

Note! Sometimes Pesky Person may continue talking and ask questions like "Why?" or "Why are you so rude? Can't you put it nicely?". So it is advisable to walk away after using "no time".

Other conversation killers are similar to the ones mentioned, short answers , rude answers, not replying, talking too much, etc etc. 

Take note! It is not advised to abruptly end it rudely, it is more advisable to type it nicely but inserting a "Sorry/pardon me/ excuse me" or "ttly, ttfn, bb, brb," . Spelling the hole thing out makes it seem more sincere. 

Conversation killing is easy to pick up, I hope this short post has made it easier for you to kill unwanted conversations, irritate people and spark more blog posts like this.

DRAMA CAMP WAS AWESOME, shall blog about it some other day,
