Probably those work related role play sessions; biggest load of utter pish, in a completely contrived situation: always tutored by a person who is a trainer, who usually has no idea of how these situations work in reality - they only work on the 'theory'.

Being in shops and the staff always asking if you if you want any help, I know that's what ithey're there for, but I'd really just look for myself thankyou very much...some do it as soon as you enter the shop..they should be there to be approached not have to come up to you

Yeah I hate that as well, sometimes I won't go into a shop if I see there's no other customers because I know it means I'll get targetted by the staff

I know...I always think when I say 'no thanks' they'll say...'well, **** off out then'

Yes, there's a lot to be said for something that can't answer back and doesn't interrupt you!:hugesmile:

Never go into Hawkins Bizarre, too many staff for a small shop full of stupid gifts that you don't even need help with anyway

That's actually not that weird at all you know. It hasn't been proven that microwaves from mobile phones cause no long term harm at all, well that's what I learned in Physics anyway lol.

In Singapore they literally follow you round on your tail. If they do it I have to leave.

That's one of the things that's guaranteed to almost make me turn 180 degrees and walk back out: literally being accosted the second your toe hits the entrance doors.

I'm sure I read somewhere that it was the one thing that most shoppers hate, and ranked in one of the highest reasons for the shopper to not purchase from that store and go elsewhere.

I have Aspergers, so literally every social situation is awkward - unless I'm drunk.
