Exit strategy 5: the art of making a quick escape with minimal human contact. A delicate dance of speed and stealth, where you must navigate the perils of small talk and inane questions.
Key takeaways:
- Develop a solid excuse for why you're leaving (preferably something involving a family emergency or a 'sudden case of the Mondays')
- Practice your "I'm-not-really-listening" face
- Keep a low profile and a high speed
And for the love of all things sane, do not under any circumstances engage with the "where are you going, why, when do you think you'll be back?" questions. They are the bane of our existence.
Next up: Abductors, the ultimate exit strategy for those who just can't take it anymore. Or, alternatively, Robotic Rescue: because sometimes, just sometimes, you need a little bit of artificial intelligence to bail you out.
Stay paranoid, stay vigilant, and remember: there's always a way out.
