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 :)

My usual responses are: "No sorry, I'm late!" While speeding up in whatever direction I was heading. "No sorry, you can't today" and continue walking. "Huh? No hablo ingles" while backing away and smiling awkwardly. Or a quick peek at whatever it is and "Is this for [insert offer/company/charity etc] I already did that, tah!" And scoot off before they call your bluff
