10 ways to NOT get approached by students selling flags (from least success rate to most):

10) Approach them yourself with coins in your hands. =.=

9) Walking past them normally.

8) Walk past them and look at everything else except them (aka avoid eye contact)

7) Be in a group and chat like nobody’s business.

6) Take a sudden interest in your groceries (or anything you are carrying) and stare at it till you are a safe distance away.

5) Listen to your ipod.

4) Pick up a sudden phone call. The strange thing is, the phone didn’t ring. And it lasts until you are a safe distance away from the student.

3) Carry stuff that looks heavy on each hand. Umbrella on one hand also helps.

2) If at a junction or traffic light, wait till the traffic light (as in the pedestrian one =.=) turns green then dash across the student and the road.

1) Donate once and get a flag (sticker) and stick it on a SUPER OBVIOUS place.

Wish you good luck.
