Awkward Silence

So you are sitting in your cubicle and someone you know comes along and says hi, talks about a couple things, you respond, and subject is over. They don't leave though, they hang around and kinda stare at you or your surroundings..

What to do?..

1. Get up and punch them
2. Give them a photo of yourself
3. Say "bye."
4. Wink at them
 
Ask them if they got the memo. We're putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports before they go out now.
 
You say "w/o gas" but I think ripping a groundbreaking, uncommonly loud and rancid fart would get the job done.
 
...Hate those. I either think of something else to say until THEY decide to leave or, I just look at them awkwardly and say "Ok...." or "So...".

Me, I start walking away before the conversation's done. So the burden of guilt is always of the cubicle's owner🙂.
 
You could say something along the lines of "well...I've gotta get [anything] finished up" and that's usually a clear enough hint

Indeed that should work.

I usually go with "Alright then, carry on", and turn around and continue working.
 
If you don't want to talk to them anymore? Yeah, "Well I suppose I should get back to work here" would probably work.
