Ha got your attention with that title.
Dear Agony people... What can I do about a friend who talks too tooo tooo much. She is beginning to drive us all crazy I am sure she is unaware she is doing it but she starts and away she goes ninety to the dozen..all about her opinion, her experiences and how she handled them so well...how she sacrificed everything to bring up "her girls' while getting a degree and fantastic job etc etc etc.... Interupting doesn't work because she gets louder... Oh and a drink makes her worse.. There must be a few choice remarks that could be dropped into the conversation ( if given the chance) some wiscrack she might take on board or else a bloody good suggestion to shut her up before one of us strangle her. HELP

I'm guessing
"Shut the fuck up"
Isn't what you are looking for?
Let me ponder our other options...................

"Shut the fuck up" yes but in a discreet way please, she is a really nice person and I don't want to be too blatant.

Have you thought of telling her how you feel about it? Quietly over a cuppa or something.

Laughter is the best medicine, unless you've got a really nasty case of syphilis, in which case penicillin is your best bet.

Maybe you will just have to put up with her, or wipe her from your xmas car list

LOL you not much help this time. I am going to a 60th birthday dinner tonight and she will also be there. The birthday person is a real talker as well so could be interesting.

Well if you cannot use Dragon Tamers advice then perhaps just tell her to put a sock in it. Have fun at the party.

Only suggestion I can think of Brownie is wear ear plugs tonight if you are sitting between them.

lol - I'm sure she does.
Maybe, if subtle is what you are looking for, you need to say things like "Yes dear" (or whatever endearment you use with her), "You've told us that before".
My neighbour sent me an email that in part said this:
1. More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.
It had me in fits of giggles because it is so true of my neighbour, and she's the first to tell you so. If you interrupt her, she will fire back "Yes, but this is allllll about ME". She's hysterically funny and not overbearing once you accept that it is a personality trait along with all the other personality traits that make her up.
I think that offers you two possible paths.
1 When she interrupts, tell her "This is allllll about ME", or
2 When she interrupts and spiels on, roll your eyes and accept it is part of the whole and you love the rest of the whole

Hey - I've had experience in this department!!!! I got tried of all the pointless talking so I picked music as my expressive medum and quitely highjacked her iPod and phone ring tones. Her ring tone was changed to "You Talk To Much - George Thorogood" and all the songs on her iPod were deleted and replaced with the below playlist. YOU TALK TO MUCH - RUN DMCYOU TALK TOO MUCH - JOE JONESYOU TALK TO MUCH - SPOOKY SUE (contains a nude girl!! I think...) YOU TALK TO MUCH - CYCLE (contains a nude girl!! I know!) What's with all the nudity?!! (Not adult rated on YouTube...) You Talk To Much - George ThorogoodYOU TALK TO MUCH
It worked!!! for a wee while....

Well I will wait to see if my very obvious hints ( excuseme *** just because you can talk louder and longer than me doesn't make your opinion more right!) and ( ok that's enough from you, my turn) etc etc and while I was there I told her partner off for being a grumpy buggar as well... they were still smiling when I left but I hope she wakes up to what she is doing soon.

Oh gosh..fancy spotting this thread after so long...... This problem is well sorted now...Turned out her partner was a convicted paedophile and even though she is a social worker (who new about his past) she had brought 2 young Thai girls ( 7years and 14 years) into the house ( they were sort of related to her) When one complained about him..she ignored it for a YEAR....then the youngest went to friends and told them ...all hell broke loose. He was due to go to court just before the Feb 2011 earthquake hit..and as far as I know he still hasn't been . Don't see them at all now so if she is talking too much I don't hear it.
