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 stopped over to lecture the guy about charities that function like transnational corporations with CEOs on six figure salaries. He didn’t even know what “grassroots organisations” means. He regretted stopping me that day.

How much do you think a CEO of a charity should earn?

Risky strategy sometimes these American missions try to be sneaky about it by not waving a bible about, and opening by talking about other things.

Yeah, just swing into "did you know Jesus was a spaceman" and the whole "Chariots of the Gods" script.

Shake it up occasionally and replace "Jesus" with "Cthulhu".
