When the situation becomes too much, it's time to bust out these advanced ignoring methods.
Pretend You Didnt See It
Quickly avert your gaze, pretend to be interested in the ceiling, and pray the conversation ends before you have to actually engage.

Ignore the Ignorant
When someone spews forth an opinion that's just plain wrong, just give 'em the "I'm listening" nod, but don't actually listen.

Turn the Other Cheek
When faced with a snide comment, take a deep breath, and turn your cheek. Repeat as necessary.

Ignore the Oddball
When confronted with the inexplicable, just give a quizzical look, shrug, and walk away.
