not business cards, but sometimes, you really just want the other person to STOP TALKING. then you can exchange contact information and move on

This I could use!! The cards are as elegant as one can imagine: The size of a standard business card, using beautiful post consumer stock that feels soft and heavy on the touch and immaculate letterpress work in an elegant and almost restrained typeface, they could never really insult anybody. 25 of them come in an understated black box and leave a lasting impression. The look on the recipients face is priceless.

Sometimes, that guy just doesn't get the hint. Or, that co-worker just doesn't shut up. Or, you're mother just keeps giving you advice. Well, at least you can tell them to stop talking politely with these business card sized elegant cards. Slip one out, hand it over, and admire the look on their face. Lots of fun, and pretty effective when needed.

i didn't actually purchase this set of cards, but rather, was given the deck by a friend who shares my often-malicious antisocial sentiment. i used to hand one to my boyfriend every time he made a bad joke, but i didn't want to waste all my cards. now i just beat him and make him lie to the cops about it.

i think i love them.

Hilariously wicked! If someone is talking and just wont shut up, never have to worry again how to hush them! Just hand them one of these business cards, in such elegant and simple type that really they cannot be offended...

I'm going to hand this out to clients the next time I visit them. And who knows, they might just hand one back to me by the time we're done meeting.

Business card that simply states "STOP TALKING" - Too elegant to offend?
I'm not sure that the person you slip this to won't be offended, but oh have there been days (on Wednesday mornings - Staff Meeting!) when I would have loved a box of these. However, delivered in this manner I can't see the person being able to respond - they'll actually be a at loss for words! (via Charles and Marie)
