Stare at the person’s nose while they are talking.
Repeat everything the person said before responding.
Ask the person to repeat themselves constantly.
Walk in circles around the person as you talk.
Make random hand gestures, like pointing at the person’s feet.
Stick out your tongue when the person isn’t looking.
Use a different name every time you refer to the person.
Start dancing for no apparent reason.
Blink your eyes one at a time.
Switch languages now and then. If you only know one, make up words.
Bring up things that have nothing to do with your what you’re talking about.
When the person is about to make their point, seem completely uninterested.
No matter what the person you’re talking to says, respond with “And then…”.

Lol, Ill try that sometime.
Ive done similar things to people I work with. One of the guys are up on top of a ladder and I tell them 'wait! wait! you dropped your pocket!'. He actually looks down to see....before he actually realizes what I said! Or, how about 'watch out, youre standing on your foot!' and watch them back up a couple of steps before they realize...
I have a lotta fun with that, and some people have fallen for it more than once!

LOL... That's awful... (but funny)

I know one thing that annoys me in the middle of a conversation, and this has nothing to do with me or the person I'm talking to, and I'm sure all of you have experienced this. You seem to get all of the calls on your cell phone while you're in the middle of an important conversation... Excuse me my cell phone is ringing..

One of the rudest things I've experienced is when your speaking and the person starts talking over you when your right in a middle of a sentence....my husband family does that, and I don't even think they are aware of it, but boy, is it rude! Jeannie

Too many times my phone rings when someones talking to me, or vice versa and I usually wait till the person is done talking, but sometimes they go on and on and on and on.....
Thats why most of the time, its set to vibrate, so it doesnt distract the person talking.
