I don't feel the need to interfere with the lives of others over a conversation.
-
Just walk away -- by excusing yourself - Or be honest
-
Ignore it, it's not my place to tell people what they can and cannot talk about.
-
I would block them out... and have done so frequently! If my children were there and profanity was abound, I'd remove us from the situation of I didn't know the people. If I knew them, I'd probably say something sarcastic about the situation to them. Hopefully they would stop. If not, I'd be blunt.
-
I think it would be rude to hone in on another's conversation and then have the audacity to ask them to stop. That would take some nerve.
-
I'm not about to tell people to stop talking. That would be pretty stupid. I'd just walk off and forget about it.
-
if it was a private conversation and I could only hear it because I was very close, I would move away, but if it was being broadcast and was offensive, I might ask them to stop or go somewhere private to talk.
-
If they are making the conversation public and the conversation is offensive (not just what i don't want to hear), then i would ask them to either be quiet or to move. I should not have to move because they do not know how to be polite. I have done this when having lunch with my child and people cussing loudly or loudly talking about things that i don't want my 5 yr old to hear.
-
If they are strangers I block them out. If it is my family or friends I ask them to stop or leave.
-
Ignore them. Unless offensive language is being used in the company of children.
-
if i am in the conversation then give them my two-cents if i am a listening in on a conversation, then walk away.
-
I just ignore them.
-
I would ignore them, I have no right to tell someone what they can and can't talk about.
