Yep - but I just close my office door and turn on my heater (works great for white noise), or I just wait until they walk by before I resume the conversation. I make it pretty obvious - they know who they are!

I have a co-worker who needs social interaction ALL THE TIME. We're a small team, and she will engage anyone in conversation about anything for as long as she can.

Most of the time I eat my lunch in my office with the door closed to avoid listening to her rattle on about her personal life and work for the full hour in the break room (I realized pretty quickly that she doesn't care if I actually participate in the "conversation" or not, so at least I don't have to speak much).

But the absolute worst is when she intercepts me on the way to the bathroom. Or talks to me while I'm in the stall, but at least then I get to pee.
