Here's a fun little trick nobody else will tell ya. You don't have to be necessarily mean to a fan for them to leave you alone. A cool trick I like to do is to try and pull a bit or stunt that either they play along with well enough to be amusing and worth my time or it stuns them enough to bounce off of me. Either outcome is fine so long as I come out unharmed, to be honest. The newest one I've been doing is asking them whether they would rather have 500,000 dollars or dinner with the Solberg twins. No matter which they answer, I then raise the stakes or change the conditions on the hypothetical - say the 500,000 dollars is instead 250,000 dollars. At the end of it, you're looking at hypotheticals straight out of a math textbook: Let's say the Solbergs are seated at a dinner table set for three in the front car of a train heading north at 60 miles per hour. Another train on the same track going the same speed but south has 500,000 dollars in the front car. This train has a hole in it, and the money escapes out at a rate of 100 dollars per second. You have the power to instantly teleport yourself, but only between these two locations and to a safe location away from the crash, but the safe location means you can't go back to the trains. You don't know how far apart they started. If you save the money, you can only do it in increments of whatever you can carry on your person. If want to save the Solberg twins, you can only save one. How do you maximize your value from this proposition? Few understand the power of the hypothetical.
