I meet a lot of people on my walks and there's one or two I try to avoid as they let their dogs jump up on me. I have an arthritic hip that could be unstable so if I can I go another way.
Smart arses who are also very negative. Not many people,though. Most who have reached my age have learnt to get on with people and be warm and friendly. I can only think of one person who I avoid. She is awful and I don’t think I am alone in avoiding her.
I saw this thread on Twitter and it got me thinking. I suppose that I tend to avoid loud people. That's just an instinctive reaction. I'm sure there are other more subtle reasons though.
