Re: Come On, Tell The Truth...Have You Ever Dodged Somebody?

I actively avoid everybody, I'm severely antisocial

I don't answer the door without looking out the upstairs window to see who it is. I never answer my landline, I let the answerphone get it. I only answer my mobile if I recognise the number.

When out with the dog I usually manage to avoid the annoying people although occasionally I've been stuck between a rock and a hard place and have had to decide which is the lesser of the 2 evils. Sometimes I'll see an undesirable heading my way so I get my mobile out and pretend to be speaking to someone on it and just raise a hand and nod as the undesirable gets close.

As for do people avoid me...I bloody hope so

Re: Come On, Tell The Truth...Have You Ever Dodged Somebody?

I always look out when I am leaving home I just don't have time to stop and hear all the complaints various neighbours have about very little really.
I avoid phone calls from various people as it's not possible to hold people to their word without things in writing.
I avoid the dog down the road it's a menace.

Admire your honesty Nicol. It's normal behaviour down here
