...get rid of or ignore one boring bus buddy.
10. Stare blankly out into space while interjecting a few words here and there.*
9. Leave one headphone in the ear that is furthest from him and just nod along with things he says.
8. Talk nonstop about your pets to the point that you sound manic and you see sweat start beading up on his head.*
7. Ask him what book he's reading and then ask him if you can see it, throw it out the window.
6. When he calls his wife make comments like, "hang up the phone baby, you don't want to talk to her."
5. Pray that another more interesting friend gets on the bus at the same time as you so that you may sit with them.
4. When that friend DOES ride with you have such odd conversations that it makes your "buddy" nervous to the point of squirming and ask if he is scared.* (you must clue the friend in on the situation, they are more likely to go along with your plan then)
3. Carry a ton of extra bags (filled with tissue paper but act as though they weigh a ton) and shrug at him saying that you'll have to sit somewhere else with all your packages tonight.
2. Get on the bus with your headset on, and DON'T take it off when you sit down.
1. Look at him square in the eye and tell him it's over that you can no longer make the attempt to find him interesting anymore.
*things I have attempted but didn't work. Anyone have any ideas? If they are good, I'll share them with the blog group...
