Sometimes you find yourself stuck
in a strange town in a strange place with a stranger you can't stand.
Here are the top ten ways to escape this situation.
-
Be firm and frank. Say “I’m sorry, this isn’t
working out” before you spend more time and money. Get
up, shake their hand, say “it was worth the try”
get up and walk out.
-
Make sure your coat and bag is checked separately from the
other person’s belongings: Bad move to leave one person
with the ticket, you’ll end up fighting with the coat
check person trying to prove your coat is yours.
-
Run to the washroom and get you best friend to call you: This
one works like a charm, they will call you back with an emergency.
Tell him or her to go back to the hotel and then the next day
tell them the truth over the phone.
-
Develop a sudden illness. Look as unwell as you can, and excuse
yourself, mentioning a problem with bad migraines.
-
Go out for a “smoke” and call a cab. Leave a message
for him or her at the hotel that it wasn't working out and that
you felt overwhelmed.
-
Tell them you’re still married: this works as long as
you have been saying you’ve been single all along.
