    Twitching and shouting at an invisible person "you're triggering me" is my go to. A German stare helps as well.

    The police should be able to give definitive advice on whether it's "busy", so you could shout it at them when they arrive.

    many fares turn out to be £1/mile. better take a shared taxi.

    Won't use them at Xmas as the University return window is the 3rd to the 9th, one whole weekend FFS.
