Are you ever overwhelmed with the urge to tell someone to shut up? There are chatty people who engage in genuine conversations which is fine, but non-stop talkers who talk at you are frustrating and exhausting.
Some people monopolize conversations, stopping anyone else from getting a word in. Often, the conversation hog doesn’t get to the point or goes off on tangents, driving their listeners crazy. The funny thing is that they don’t even notice that they have lost their audience.
If you can’t take it anymore, here are a few things you can say to let the windbag know that you have had enough.

What to say to someone who won’t shut up
- Can I share what I need to say without the constant interruptions?
- Some people just lack the ability to realize that everyone in the room wants them to be quiet.
- You sound so sexy, when you’re not talking.
- You would be much more likable if it wasn’t for that hole in your mouth that noise comes out of.
- You know what’s funny. Not you, so be quiet.
- It’s never too late to shut up and mind your own business.
- It’s time to shut up. If I wanted your opinion all of the time I would have married you.
- In case you didn’t see the look I just gave you. Be quiet!
- Remember that time you shut the up? Me neither.

i’m sure whatever you have to say can wait until you’re smarter.
Here’s one I came across on a wallpaper. It will be handy in the workplace – “Work in silence. Let your success be your noise”.
Stop talking about yourself
these are pretty cool. there’s one specifically i like (it might not be up there but i think it was): i think what you have to say can wait until you’re smarter.
and the ones ive come up with: 1.if you had any less brain cells, you would be sitting in a field, eating grass and moo-ing; so dont waste them trying to prove a point nobody wants to hear.
2. dont waste the little you have by using it to force useless words around the room– (extend it), nobody cares that you dont like anybody (or (that person)) so it would be better if you held your ideas to yourself and and save them for a time they might actually save YOUR life.
