Street Seens 4: How to Handle The Paparazzi - Siamese Inscrutable Technique

Heading home after a mid-afternoon stroll, or "visit" with the cute, or dashing, Feline down the street?

Spotted by the Paparazzi?

Busted!!!

Not neccessarily. ;-D

Just play it cool, and smart, using the Siamese Inscrutable Technique, and all will turn out just peachy. ;-D

The important thing to know is that the first few seconds to 2 minutes of an encounter with the Paparazzi, or any human you meet on the street, are the most important.

If you see him (In this example it is a "him", not a "her" or a "them") first, and you don't know, much less trust, him, then you can haul ass, and he will be none the wiser.

If he approaches, catching you by surprise, and you don't know the man...stop, stare, and wait to see if the guy knows YOU.

If he addresses you by name, then proceed with caution, based on what he reveals that he knows about you, with suitable amounts of run-a-round, or truthfullness, as you see fit.

In this example, the guy says "Well, hello there! How are you?", and sits on his bicycle calmly observing you, and aiming his camera.

Obviously he's no threat, and hasn't a clue what you are up to.

 

Slowly back your way into the yard from which you had come, smiling as you do so, and calmly walk into the next yard, in the direction you are heading, all the while watching the man as he follows you from out in the street.

 

Once back on the sidewalk, again, DO NOT immediately continue in the direction you were going before the man showed up.

First you must shake your pursuer, by any reasonable ruse you can think of.

In this example turn your back on the man, and calmly sashay down the block a short distance, walk into, then out of, the bushes coming up on your right....

 

and walk up onto the porch of the house without once looking back.

This is important...DON'T LOOK BACK!

Any sign that you are concerned about what your pursuer sees you doing, and the jig is up!

With any luck, and there being no Dogs in the house, to ruin everything, the man will either figure that you live there, or get bored silly trying to wait you out.

Either way he will finally leave, and you can continue with your activities undisturbed.

It's always a treat to encounter Cats on a walk.

We don't see many outdoors in our neighborhood, but sometimes elsewhere in the city.
