Its crazy, everywhere you turn there's like 5 people coming at you. Getting to work can feel like an Olympic event just from dodging all the handouts. I'm juking left, going right, bustin spin moves along the way... I almost tore my hamstring pulling off a hurdle the other day!
Its tough trying to avoid the usual suspects, which include:
- The confident hand off: This guy walks up like he knows you. "Hey pal, it's cool. I'm not like them, I won't waste your time. You can trust me. This can actually benefit you."
- The costume/attention grabber: This one screams out, "Come on, look at all the effort that went into me standing out. At least give me a shot!"
- The flirter: She comes up all smooth, like "Hey big boy, get over here.. I picked you out from the crowd and wanna show you the goods."
- The walk n' talker: This one just won't give up. "Oh cool, you're going this way too? What a coincidence. We must be on the same wave length! Hey, so by the way..."
Look at all the effort they put into grabbing your attention. Why not just bring along a big ass camera and tease volunteers with the prospect of some air time? The thing doesn't even have to be turned on. Nobody checks. I'm kidding but always think about the other person's motivations. That's Sprezzatura.
