Person 2: "I'm sorry man. I hope it gets better soon! .....hey, did I ever tell you about my girlfriend from two years ago? She had this thing where she would always....."
(Person 1 interrupts, totally not listening or caring about what person 2 was saying in any form or fashion)
Person 1: "WELL, honestly, I just don't know what Sunni is thinking these days, or why these problems are even happening...."
(Person 2 feels ignored and annoyed)

Get the "Garrison the conversation"mug. A word that immediately stops a conversation. It makes the other person feels so awkward that they end the conversation themselves.

Get the conversation diedmug. Usually happens on an instant messenger. A person will quickly sign on, leave you a rude remark, and then sign off before you have the chance to respond. It'd be harder to do in a person to person conversation because you could easily kill them.

Get the drive by conversationmug. Small talk used in bars to meet somebody. Comes off as non-threatening and casual, but effective for breaking the ice. Usually involves the discussion of some benign third party person or situation; i.e. the bartender, the weather or extremely drunk bar patrons.
Korey used his "by the way" conversation skills to introduce himself to two girls up at the bar in NYC over the weekend.

Get the "by the way" conversationmug. Bumping into someone you want to avoid that ends up with them leading you into a lengthy conversation that you can't escape. It's a very subtle guilt trip. You awkwardly feel obligated to keep on listening to them, knowing well if you attempt to cut it short, you'll come off as some sort of inconsiderate asshole.
"I was just about to get on the elevator when I bumped into Gabby. I knew I've just stepped into a conversation trap. For 30 agonizing minutes she was bragging to me with her annoying voice about all her nieces' and nephews' accomplishments in grade school. GOD! I wish I had some Q-Tips so I can fucking punch them into my eardrums. At least I'd have an an excuse not to listen to her."
