Today I got to a conclusion. There is always some 10 second of silence that tell you that it is time to leave.
You will find that this happens quite often, in parties, family reunions, when you are at a coffee shop or else. The only exception being when you are getting drunk... the thing that tells you it is time to leave is when you don't have any more alcohol, and can't go and get more...
Anyways, today was a friend's birthday, and since we didn't have a house to go and have some drinks and stuff, we decided it would be fun to "kidnapp" her at 8:00 am and take her to breakfast to a McDonalds on her pijamas. Well, didn't work that way, but anyways she had a swell time.
Then we were sitting on her car, after we took many pics of us making stupid stuff on the McDonalds, and next to the "Happy Birthday" sign with her nickname (Mema). Well, then those 10 seconds came... Everybody kept staring at each other and then to our surroundings.
That was it.
We all knew it was time to say goodbye and go home... But the thing was... Who was going to say it? 'Cause it was my friends birthday, and who said it would be the one who ended everything.
The 10 seconds were coming to an end, and I was hoping somebody would say it, but it seemed it as my turn.
"Well... breakfast was good..." I said
"Yeah"
"Good"
"Uh-huh."
Some friends responded. It seemed I hadn't make it clear so I went again.
"Yeah, it was nice. Hope you had some fun Mema."
"Yeah... thanks all."
Shit... more silence... I could go for a 3rd time but then it would be TOO obvious I wanted to leave, too bad... I HAD to do it. My girlfriend was waiting for me at her home.
"Well, I think I am going to leave now... You know Kary is waiting."
"oh... Ok"
And I left... to my gfriend's house. The same thing happened over there, but now with her mom.
You see she just met me and I couldn't just tell her "oh, right well, I gotta go." just in the middle of her explanation of how her son wasn't studying enough.
And again when I was having lunch at my aunt's.
The problem is... how can you make someone understand that you are
1)Bored
2)In a hurry
3)Sick of listening to them

Just start twitching. It works wonders. Moaning helps to.

I've always found being brutally honest works.
My personal favorite. "If I listen to this utter shit for 10 more seconds I will have to shove a coathanger into your left ear and twist it around a bit. Then you will realize the pain your stupidity causes me." Your pretty much free to walk away after that.
If that doesn't work, just piss on their shoes. Not just a little bit, drown their shoes until their socks are ruint. Then growl at them and leave.

Start playing with your genitals and act like an animal. body language is always more effective then speaking.

This reminds me of meeting someone you haven't seen in a while, talking, then realizing that you're both heading in the same direction. You don't want to "run into them again" for the awkwardness of it, so you mill about while they walk away, and you pray they aren't going to pop up in Walgreens where you're going, to the condom rack..."Oh, hi, again.... I was just, getting my blood-pressure checked, good to see you...again."
