How do you get someone's attention if they are not listening to what you have to say?

On the show I am watching they went into a bank with their guns and wanted the manager. That is one way but then they could go to jail that way. Do any of you have other ways that you can get someone's attention so they will listen to you? I would love to hear it because I do not know how to get someone's attention the right way so they will listen to me?

I decided to just stop talking to the people who were not interested in talking to me .. When I stopped, they tried all they can to get my attention... It's too late .. I don't want to have anything to do with them..

That does not work for me because unfortunately the people I do not want to talk to I have to and they do not care and still do not listen to what I have to say. So, right now I am to find my own way of doing things so do not have to deal with them.

I know that's frustrating isn't it?
I simply stop talking until I have their attention again

I just give up because I feel like I am talking to a brick wall.

There are some I have to deal with that have their own agenda and nothing I say will help me at all.

Hi Hanni. I think you should give them something can warm their hearts. People usually like to hear compliments.

In a situation I am in it would not matter and I just say what is on my mind and they just do not want to hear it so we are at odds and I am no longer my own boss there and have to play by their rules and hate it but do not want to get kicked out.

I am self employed and have sold at a place but it is no longer good for me so trying to find ways to sell what I have left but not succeeding. I am not feeling well so want to finish and then rest.

That does not work because they do not talk and they do not listen to me. I waste my time talking to them and they are the only one I can deal with. People in certain positions forget what it is like to be down below with us little people.

I have someone in my building that thinks everyone is nice and tells me people that live across from me like me even though I asked him twice why he has to slam the door and he still does it and she talks about me behind my back. He just does not want to listen to me and I am afraid when they move these will take over and I will have to pay them and then I will get screwed. He says do not worry. He has nothing to worry about because he is leaving I am sure soon. They just had another baby and I believe he is not telling me the truth that they are leaving. I will call them to tell them to straighten the people out and not screw me since he will not listen to me. I just do not like to talk to him because he does not do anything. He was suppose to put up a sign because when someone moves in they bring things down to the bomb shelter because they cannot use the storage and I am the only one that just has 2 things in there. My scooter and my attachment. He would not tell me who is suppose to do a sign and if it is the one across from us they I am sure tell people to bring things in and will not do one. I am not moving because it is expensive elsewhere and I like what I have here in the apartment.
