The Classic 'Headphones & Sunglasses' Trick

One is not complete without the other. Sunglasses but no headphones? Won't work. If they see that you can hear them, they'll still go after you. Headphones but no sunglasses? Nope, sorry. They'll find your eye-line and purposefully chase you down so you can't avoid them. The glasses and headphones are a package deal. See no evil and hear no evil.

Speed Walking outta there

AKA running for your life without it looking like a medical emergency. They can't throw flyers in your face if they can't catch up to you.

Fake Phone Call

This one is sweet, to the point, and the easiest one to pull off. This has yet to fail me. Bonus points for talking obnoxiously loud and never taking a breath.

Bring out the RBF

Nothing screams "unapproachable" like a good ole fashion resting b*tch face. But, this only works if you can actually pull it off. If you can successfully pull it off, not only will they not bother you, but they'll hope that you don't bother them.

My personal favorite, screaming no in their faces

If all else fails, this is your only option besides succumbing to what they want—you taking the flyer.

Them: "Excuse me, are you an eng-"

You: "NOPE NOPE NOPE, STOP!"

Them: "Would you like to com-"

You: "NO THANKS!"

This one can get pretty rude, pretty fast, so I'd like to think this is a last resort.
