Chapter 1
The Pest and You
Most of the time, your pest probably likes to follow you around. “You need to go to the toilets? Oh! I’ll go with you!” “You’re going to the movies on Saturday? Well, I’ll go with you guys!” Yes, you know you have experienced this. When your pest does this, you most likely are experiencing several emotions: dislike, annoyance, and sadness. This brings us to the first tip on how to get rid of your pest. The Avoidance Tactic.
THE AVOIDANCE TACTIC
· This is a very simple technique you can use to make sure your pest does not go with you to the toilets, go the movies with you, or any other event that involves you and your other friends. All you need to do is learn to smooth talk your way out of the situation. Or, if you happen to be a bit clumsy with words, you can just simply say “Nothing” and shrug her question off, changing the subject.
Smooth Talking
YOU: Ok, so all of you can go to the movies on Saturday right?
YOUR FRIEND: Yeah, of course I can go to the mov…
PEST: Hey, what are you all talking about?
YOU: Oh we were just talking about when we were going to meet up to finish a project in (insert a class here).
PEST: Oh
Conflict avoided!
Clumsy with Words
YOU: Ok, so all of you can go to the movies on Saturday right?
YOUR FRIEND: Yeah of course I can go to the mov…
PEST: Hey, what are you talking about?
YOU: Oh, erm nothing. Hey do you know when the English project is due? I can’t seem to remember.
PEST: It’s due on Thursday. I am so excited! I am building this life-size model of Romeo and Juliet’s stage and…
Conflict also avoided!
Or, if you are just a bitchy person just go up to the pest and tell them, “We’re going to the movies. Your not invited.” Sure their feelings will be hurt. But you are the special kind of person who could care less. Congrats.
