I've heard that a lot of people walk around, talking into cell phones when there's really no one on the line. Maybe they do THAT to keep people from bothering them. All this technology seems to be making us into a somewhat antisocial bunch of people.

put a bluetooth in your ear and walk around talking to yourself.then you can say stuff like dumbass and if they look at you just point to your ear say your on the phone.

That has been going on forever though I remember fake pagers that would beep at a preset time or a minute after a button was pushed, before that you told someone to call you, before that they sent a telegram, before that it didnt matter because they were fewer people and you could easily avoid those you do not desire to speak with.

I would find someone that you really like and have them talk to you and don't let the annoying guy get into the conversation, after a while he will find someone else to talk to.

Tell him the only reason you work out is because ever since you were released from the mental hospital it's the only way to keep your skizophrenia medications in check, and if you miss a day you may flip out and kill again and that his talking is interfering with the voices in your head.

Well, if you can't get it for free, you got to pay for it.

He told me for about 45min today about how he "trys to find the perfect match on EHarmony" and all these other friend finders because hes 40 years old and cant keep a relationship. He fallows me around the gym. From the tredmill to the weights to the abs machine. Hes like a kid on the playground in 3rd grade.

I dont want to be a mean person and yell at him but my God this guy tells you his life story all day long. He always says about everything "Those days are gone"-His famous quote.

I had the same problem, and solved it by wearing headphones. A couple guys used to drive me nuts, but when I'm wearing headphones (in-ear) no one even tries anymore. Although one guy still tries to use hand signals to get me to take one out.

Tell that guy that your job is like a guy in the movie "the Jackal'. I'm sure he'll assume it's the assassin.
