Discretion!!!

[Stella]

Ok I know this was mentioned here shitloads of times BUT!!!!! why the hell someone has to literally shout on phone

I was off to walk my doggy this morning when I bumped to a punter, yelling the where are you, which block question, as he was clueless, also asked someone where's x y landmark, it was across the road from him......

Please please for those who aren't already discreet try to be!!!!

I've thought that myself a couple of times, then I thought, hang on, the only reason I actually know what he is talking about is because I've been there and know what he's at. To the really clueless he may as well be getting directions to a job he's going to or a mates new apartment, even a girl he met the night before.

Prime example for me was I was coming out of a known apartment block with a friend, this guy walks up to the door, you could see he was nervous, phone to his ear and repeating the keypad directions being given to him, checking himself making sure he looked ok, well as ok as he could, anyway we walked off and I mentioned to the person I was with how obvious it was where he was going, the person I was with was shocked, never even suspected what was going on.

That is all very well, but if there are any suspicions whatsoever with the local residents, that one person with their phone to their ear saying the number of the apartment loud enough for other to hear, could just be the confirmation that they need to start watching with a vengeance or report the apartment to the caretaker.

If it happened once in a blue moon it would not be a problem, but once or twice a Week and it can look odd, any more and people are starting to wonder what is going on.

People aren't stupid, they know well what's going on... Irish people would live in your ear..

The bigger the city , the less people notice or care, if it's not in their faces.

Each block has it's residents and just because they live in an apartment does not mean they may not have concern for their environment or not be religious and against sex work.

Never assume that people don't care or that they are not watching out for something.

hi, was it you or someone else he was ringing and you overheard him

Happend to me too, when my window was open heard what my appointment is saying, and I'm not on ground floor.....

But no this time I passed someone "Hi, name I'm here, which block, where...etc etc"

Of course it can be a friend or anything, but yeah because I'm at this job it was more than obvious what he's up to..

You probably overheard Dom Joly.

I Always ask for location and directions b4 I get there that way I can just walk up to the door with total confidence if I don't get them I will not go. Nothing worse than walking or standing in a street having to take out your phone and say where do I go now.
