When someone won't stop talking (usually about a subject you have no interest in). The talker has verbally forced you to stand there there and listen, even though you have given many clues that you have checked out. Examples: vacant stares, looking at your watch, checking your phone, answering in short one word phrases.
Girl 1 : So then I realized my cat really likes Meow Mix more than Frisky's but only if I mix it with Fancy Feast.
Girl 2: (Stares blankly)
Girl 1: Unless of course it's Chicken Livers from 9 Lives, Snowball loves that. It's her favorite.
Girl 2: Uh-huh.
Girl 1: Of course on her birthday I give her the good stuff, real tuna!
Girl 2: (Thinks screw this, verbal handcuffs)

That EXACT thing happened to me at lunch Wednesday. Waiter: chit-chat, blah-blah...talk, talk, ramble, pontificate....
Obi: uh-huh
Waiter: Here's a pic of my brother. Oh, and here's another.....blah, blah.....
Obi: (shit), he's not leaving (as she picks up her phone and stares at it.
Waiter: more blah, blah, mwah, mwah, chit-chat, tells a joke, more pics
Obi: (this is f-ing ridiculous) Yeah, ok. (opens her laptop and gazes at it while still holding phone up in her face)
