    A ‘man that sucks, but I gotta go … <insert whatever you gotta do>’ will get you out of this about 50 percent of the time.

      True. But a relative of mine will follow me around the house and try to restart the conversation (monologue) every time we invite the whole extended family over (twice a year). I cannot leave the house, but I try to find stuff todo, and engage in conversations with others. When he finally gets a hold of me I have to listen to all the “cool” shit he does at work. It’s basically just bragging.
