Communications expert shares how to confidently interrupt someone who won't stop talking

The key here is acknowledgement.

People who talk too much are doubly rude because they put the person they're talking to in a terrible situation. First, they have to listen to them go on and on with little care for their feelings. Second, they make the person listening feel rude when they eventually have to tell them to be quiet or walk away from the conversation.

Whether it’s someone at a party who wants to tell you all about their trip to Switzerland or a coworker in a meeting who gives 45-minute answers to simple questions, everyone has to deal with a chatterbox from time to time.

Old man steps up to walk bride with absentee father down the aisle on her wedding day

"May we all have a Gill in our lives, and be a Gill to others."

Sometimes the most unexpected relationships hit us at the most unexpected times. A perfect stranger can quickly become a beloved friend, and a person who appears to be a mere acquaintance can play a surprisingly impactful role in our lives.

But Beau says she had shared with Gill details about her family: "Over the years, I’ve opened up to him about my father never being present and my mother no longer being here," she writes in an Instagram post.

A pro wrestler left the ring mid-match to stop security from manhandling a boy with Down syndrome

Shawn Michaels stopped the match and broke character in front of 13,000 stunned spectators.

Professional wrestling in the 1990s was really something else. Dominated at the time by the WWF (now WWE), stars like Stone Cold Steve Austin, Bret "The Hitman" Hart, and The Undertaker were larger than life and some of the most popular public sports figures in the world well before The Rock and John Cena hit the scene.

And then there was Shawn "The Heartbreak Kid" Michaels, who was perhaps the biggest star of all during his heyday. Known for his extraordinarily cocky and vain character, Michaels was a terrific performer both in the ring and on the mic, making him a beloved fan favorite.

In one iconic moment from a 1997 match, Shawn Michaels stopped and left the ring mid-match when he noticed a security scuffle taking place just a few feet away.
