[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one except people completely disconnected from reality can go on rants in your presence without your permission. OP, there is a way to make someone understand that their rants aren't welcome (even if they are completely correct). The British excel at this. You have a variety of tactics at your disposal. Check your email. Start texting people. Change the subject. Do not respond. Say "hmmm" a lot. Respond with something like "I adore this skirt -where did you get it?" In short, if you don't want to keep hearing these rants, you have to make it unrewarding and awkward for the ranter. Of course, there is always a possibility that your circle doesn't think they are unwelcome, and actually enjoys hearing them. In this case, I'm afraid, you're out of luck.[/quote] I needed this. Thank you. -frequent recipient of well-meaning rants[/quote]
