I don't talk about politics or religion at the workplace, yet there is a drama queen that loves just blurting out what she thinks to everyone around.

My way to go so far has been to ignore her, but sometimes I just want to yell at her how incoherent she is.

Then I'd be the one starting drama I guess...

I'm looking for advice to deal with these kind of people. I don't want to work listening to conspiracy theories.

I've had to deal with a family member like that and managed to shock them into shutting up about it in my company. "If you are going to shove your politics into everyone's faces you'll have to listen to my opinions too. You know what I think about ? I'd love to spend my weekend slowly drowning them in a barrel of cat piss, but I'm worried it's too good for them." 3 years later not a pip.
