Just pretend you never see them if thats possible, ignore them.

Say Hi and Bye and be quick!

Answer 2

Act like you dont see them. or pretend to be sick..

Answer 3

Talk politely.It's common sense:-))

Answer 4

Sometimes you really can't avoid it especially if the person is persistent...avoid them as much as possible but if you really cant, at least be civil...smile or engage in a quick "hi-And-bye" convo

Answer 5

change topics you dont want to engage yourself in and interupt if needed and say i really need to get this i'll catch you later..

or play your ringtone and say oh i have to take this call....i do it all the times...and start looking in other directions avoiding eye contact if the guy is sensible enough he'll move away himself

Answer 6

Give a half smile and move away to somebody else........

Answer 7

Just tell them you haven't got time to chat,or make your excuses and walk away...I'm no expert on this though-apparently I'm very rude sometimes when I tell people I just don't want to talk to them lol

Answer 8

I'm in a profession where this is common stuff, I normally keep being polite, and then tell them I must do something else. Normally the person starts feeling like they are bothering you, or not letting you perform your duties. It works the same at home too. Just say you have chores to do, even if it might take doing a couple of chores in front of this person. They would eventually feel they are bothering you and move on to someone else. But always be polite, because you never know the day that person can help you. Just make them feel like they are the ones choosing to let you go.

Answer 9

just give a smile.
