I Sooo Need These In My Life...

Every once in a while we all encounter somebody who is continuously talking, non-stop, all the time. And it's painful. At a party, during a meeting, in the tube, the potential occasions are plentiful…

How do you tell the person to shut up?

Well, our parents always told us to be polite and friendly, so what to do? Easy, take one of Allison Riley's immaculate 'Stop Talking' cards and slip the person in question a little hint…

The cards are as elegant as one can imagine: The size of a standard business card, using beautiful post consumer stock that feels soft and heavy on the touch and immaculate letterpress work in an elegant and almost restrained typeface, they could never really insult anybody. 25 of them come in an understated black box and leave a lasting impression. The look on the recipients face is priceless.

wtf i never herd of those! i need to get some of those stat!

when my coworkers start to talk about their kids (who are my age!!) i wanna hand them a card that says "im the same age as ur kid, probably getting into the same trouble, and doing the same shih so why do i wanna hear about ur personal life?" buh that jus seems kinda mean haha

non stoptalking is a sign of insecurity....

for about 2 yrs i've followed the following rule:

*it's my job to uphold 50% of the conversation, let them hold their 50% too...

*and dont ask questions that i dont really care about...i'm naturally nosy so that jus means i gotta listen a bit harder to get the info. and i learned along time ago, if u let people talk long enuff u'll get all the info that they want u to hav (and some info they dont wan u to hav too haha)
