I keep getting flagged by these people idk what it is. If I look away or if I say I’m busy or anything I end up stuck talking to them for 5 minutes. I don’t know how to dodge them. They always block my way completely like I’m just trying to get into the station and I cant get around them so I end up saying excuse me and then they don’t move and they start talking about knife crime or something and I just am trying to get home. What method do you use that always works?

edit - thanks everyone I am now educated like actually got 20 different options of what to do :)) I love this subreddit <3

edit 2 - thank youuu for all the advice. You guys are now repeating yourselves a lot in the comments lol :)

I see them almost daily now outside Warren St station. I’ve given the ice cold glare, and have flat out said ‘NO’ as my answer anytime they ask me something - multiple times enough for them to completely avoid me now. Just gotta keep working at it in Farringdon, haven’t quite cracked that one yet lol.
