  • Tell them to go to the doctor for an A.D.D./A.D.H.D. assessment.
  • your going to have to kill them Jodie.. nice avatar.. is that Kate Jackson?
  • If they truly love you, you should be able to politely point out to them what they are doing that is to your discontent, and they will stop it
  • If you're serious, you'll need to either talk to them about it, learn to ignore it or remove yourself from the situation, ie. move out. If you're not serious, then use Duct Tape.
  • Get a new one. You cant make a person with an outgoing or talkative personality stop being who they are. If you are uncomfortable with it, you probably just need to find someone else.
  • I haven't had that problem with someone that close to me but I have a coworker who likes to yak incessantly. I found out that talking about blood or gory things makes him squeamish so I bring up something to do with that and *poof* he's gone. Works like a charm.
  • You sit them down and say "Jodie, there's something we need to talk about....." hahahahahaha
  • i can sympathise. my husband does stuff like this all the time. he doesnt get a song stuck in his head; oh no, it has to be just two lines which he sings over and over again for more than a fortnight! once he said "im warm" 183 times in 45minutes! yes, i counted! it literally drove me to tears....now that worked!!! he stopped immediately. he was so shocked. now he still does it to a certain degree, but when i ask him to stop he does make an effort at least. good luck with your fight and try your best not to bash your annoying persons head repeatedly against something hard, ha ha.
  • Try a cash challenge ... both of you agree to chip in as much $$$ as you can, then you both take a vow of silence ... first to speak, looses, and the other person collects the $$$. __________ Or how about : tell them, with a hint of borderline frustration & anger in your voice "if you do not have anything NICE or INTERESTING to say, you better have at least 3 tough friends to back you up!!!" __________ "Quando omni pontis, mort atadis" ... when all else fails, play dead.
  • Try the snooker ball gag from Pulp Fiction.
  • I didn't know you knew my mother-in-law!!! Talk to them and ask then to not jabber on about every little thought that comes into their head. Of coure, say it with kindness and as much sugar as you can manage.
  • My husband yaks all the time about stuff I don't care about - I just learned to tune him out yet still make it look like I'm listening - he has no clue...
  • I have a question to ask first, if I may...how did you (or whomever) get together with someone who doesn't value quiet, silence and calm? Surely it didn't happen the moment you committed to sharing a domicile? That would surely drive me N-u-t-s and I don't know anyone could take it for very long. I guess I would just keep saying, "please be quiet..I need to think" over and over and over and over until either I got worn out or the other person got the message. But it sure sounds like a nightmare scenario to me.
