How To: Avoid Being Trapped in Conversation When Already Late

Books are a fantastic resource and not just because they can stop unwanted conversation, in fact some actually contain information or stories. The greatest way to avoid these preachers and botherers from handing you pamphlets and brochures is to be distracted. Play into the guilt which these people apparently have. Swiping on your phone or browsing facebook never works, because they will feel no guilt in taking you away from a video of a cat juggling. These time thieves however will be slightly hesitant to rip someone with a nose deep in a piece of literature out of their trance. Use this hesitancy! A thoughtful expression while reading, coupled with a quick pace keeps you from becoming a victim of unwanted conversation as you are too “distracted” to see or hear them. The most important tip however is to keep your eyes on the page while you walk. While dangerous, this is the best way to avoid eye contact with these people as it is the first way they choose their prey. <a href="https://medium.com/@mikael.d.wellington/how-to-avoid-being-trapped-in-conversation-when-already-late-2ffaef4552b4">Website</a>
