How can I be more brief when people walk into me outside and want to talk?

Question

A lot of times, I'll be busy and someone walks into me and starts talking. and I don't want to talk long, but they get me going somehow. and after 15 minutes I feel really bad that I wasted time.

Or smokers who I walk into, and they want to talk as they puff. How do I avoid so?

Try to not make eye contact, if you do a quick wave stop eyecontact and dont stop moving. Act like you are on you cellphone, walk fast so they cant keep up.
