It may seem like a strange idea to hide from people that you know in public places, but sometimes you just don’t want them to see you. For instance, if you’re buying their birthday gift or if you’re with someone that they don’t like and just want to avoid the conflict, sometimes hiding comes in handy!
- Try on the biggest jacket and the largest hat you can find in the store.
- Pick up an extra large book to hold over your face.
- Duck down to hide underneath the table – pretend you dropped something, or need to fix your laces.
- Pull the hood over your head and pull it on until your eyes are covered.
- Pick up a newspaper and pretend to read it, make sure it’s opened completely and obscuring as much of you from their view as possible.
- Duck behind a rack of clothing.
- Pose right behind the store mannequin and hope that they can’t see you.
- Try on huge sunglasses and a floppy sun hat.
- Just turn your back and hope you’re not wearing anything recognizable.
- Duck into the nearest restroom and hope that five minutes is enough for them to leave.
