What do you always try to avoid?

[Bretrick]

Where possible I will always avoid confrontation.
Not that I steer away from controversial topics, but if the discussion turns nasty then I ignore those comments. One should be able to talk about controversial subjects without malice.

Walking on hot ashes without shoes......I always try to avoid that

 

[MarciKS]

Not knowing where the nearest bathroom is at all times...just in case.

 

[JBR]

I always try to avoid too much time in a city.

I acknowledge that much learning & culture is there in cities — art galleries & public art, big libraries, performance, lectures, all that. But...

I Always try to avoid confersations about Politics.

Exactly, when approached in public by some old goat wanting to share his special brand of lunacy, I don't engage...I just give a blank look and walk away.

Agree, 1000%. My job involved resolving conflicts btwn 2 other parties w me, the broker, in the middle. I always found that minimizing the opportunity for conflict was far easier than resolving them.

Toxicity...
Toxic food, toxic people, toxic air, toxic water, toxic mainstream media, toxic movies, toxic video games where you hunt innocent people down and shoot them like Grand Theft Auto, toxic untruths, toxic dishonesty, toxic injustice, etc

Oh I'm not one to run in the other direction from Confrontation..someone wants to bring it to me, they better be ready for the response..

What do I always try to avoid ?... Loud people...Loud women specifically in public . I hate that.. it's really common..

Unfortunately not all of us can be demure. LOL!

 

[CinnamonSugar]

Excessive noise…. I just do not understand why when you go to a restaurant now (at least in the US), they’ve got to have 10 tv’s playing a sports game(s) *and* loud music playing. People talk loudly to make themselves heard over it—what a cacophony!!

Heaven help us if there’s an important game /championship people are all excited about on the tvs— the noise level multiplied by 100 fold

don't have to be demure, but loud mouths get on my last nerve

 

[timoc]

I avoid large auditoriums like the plague, reason being, that when I fart, the sound reverberated around the building creating a never ending echo.

Crikey, I'm the same..... excuse me, I need to go....

 

[DebraMae]

Being an introvert I try to avoid being around large groups of people. That wears me out. One at a time works best for me.

 

[hollydolly]

I try to avoid anywhere that is likely to have screaming kids. I can't stand the ear piercing screaming now I'm older....

I learned many years ago when I was on another forum I replied to a thread about politics and was attacked by people who had claimed to be friends,

 

[Ruthanne]

Rush hour traffic, doctors, cleaning a lot, morning

 

[Ruthanne]

I forgot: people and children screaming I hate it!!

 

[Naturally]

Serious injury and out and about in freezing temperatures

I avoid confrontation, loud people, arguments of any kind. It just isn't worth it.

Oh I do avoid children, small ones are messy and noisy.

 

[Tish]

People asking for money.
My usual response is "Do you have a website, thanks."
