Action taken by a person who spys another person approaching whom he would like to avoid.
Evasive maneuvers include:
1.
Ducking down an aisle or into a cubicle to avoid the person.
2. Turning around
mid-stride and walking away from the person before he spys you.
3. Making up an elaborate (
yet plausible) excuse to get away from the person, i. e. "I really want to
chat, but I am late picking up my kids from daycare. It was good seeing you!"
4. Pretending to be engaged in some important act (i.e. a telephone call) so the person is forced to leave your presence.
