I have always used the "one more" rule - if I can't take it any more (and it takes a lot of bad bridge, but very few obnoxious comments), I'll say "next one's my last, I have to go". This is frequent, common, and polite; it doesn't have the obvious connotations of "I can't even stand playing another board with this idiot partner" which is clear to pretty much anyone after contract, dummy comes down, "gtg, bye", contract then proven to be silly.

I try not to be rude, even to people who are. I don't always succeed.
