    He keeps talking about things that are not important

    If I cut him short I will have so many more calls and problems by noon

    What do you do when people are wasting your time?

    When someone is wasting my time I waste theirs back. If I don't feel like wasting theirs because I don't have any time of my own left to waste I hurt them physically with either my Taekwondo or boxing skills.

    The difference is that he caused me to be late

    I sat here to pass the time while he rambled

    Then I get to my meeting and the man tells me he will not have time to speak with me for the next hour

    I have another meeting at that time

    My client tells me to sit and wait for the first gentleman to be ready

    Thank goodness for wifi

    You know the grief I would experience showing up in a shirt like that?

    Try to outbore him or make him repeat himself a lot. Also... talk slowly... keep leading up to a point you never get to... employ long pauses in what you're saying- long enough where when he tries to say something- at that point, continue rambling.

    This changes everything... employ a phone conversationalist as a stand-in.

    i usually just put them on hold for a while and go back to my work while they sit and think about what it is they want to ask me.

    if it's my boss, i just let everything else wait. my money is more important than keeping customers that they don't want anyway.

    A lot of the people who let themselves fall into these traps are really just victimizing themselves. Make sure that underneath it all you're not just a little attention-starved... then tell him to fuck off.
