WEBVTT - They're Avoiding Anna 

0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:00.840
<v Speaker 1>It's Mojoe in the morning.

0:00:01.200 --> 0:00:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Anna says that she felt like somebody was trying to

0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:04.680
<v Speaker 2>avoid her.

0:00:05.120 --> 0:00:07.720
<v Speaker 3>I want to know if you've ever been avoiding someone

0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:10.080
<v Speaker 3>and got caught, because I think I caught someone trying

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:14.080
<v Speaker 3>to avoid me. Yesterday. I was walking into my apartment

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:17.840
<v Speaker 3>building and my neighbor that lives right across the hall

0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:21.320
<v Speaker 3>from me was walking out and we did our hey, hello,

0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:23.960
<v Speaker 3>how's it going? Really quick? I went in and was

0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 3>waiting to get on the elevator. When I finally got on,

0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 3>it was going up and it stopped at the second floor.

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 3>The door's open, and it's my neighbor, and I'm like,

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 3>what are you doing? And he's like, oh, I forgot

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 3>something in my apartment. But in my head, I'm like,

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 3>why didn't you just get on on the first floor.

0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 3>Why did you go up? He walked up the stairs

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:45.960
<v Speaker 3>to the second floor to get on there. I think

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:47.199
<v Speaker 3>he was trying to avoid me.

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:49.160
<v Speaker 4>You don't think he was just trying to get up faster.

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:52.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so, cause he only did one flight

0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 2>to stairs, yeah, to the second.

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 3>Like, why would you do that? In my head, so,

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 3>I really do feel like he was trying to avoid me.

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 3>And when I said something, he was very nervous. He

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.399
<v Speaker 3>was like, oh, I forgot something and I just walked

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 3>up a flight of stairs.

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:08.840
<v Speaker 4>And why why would he be avoiding you? Like, I

0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 4>don't know, maybe.

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 3>He just didn't want to talk to me or something like.

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 3>Nothing happened between us. We're cool. I see him every morning, confused.

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Can we go back? So y'all y'all on the first

0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 1>level together.

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's walking out of the buildings.

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:26.200
<v Speaker 1>You're coming, yes, okay, you get on the elevator.

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:29.480
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Like he went out and came immediately back in. Ye,

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 3>hit the stairs, Okay, went up a flight of stairs.

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 3>I didn't see him because the elevator is a little

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:35.680
<v Speaker 3>bit away from there.

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:36.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:38.960
<v Speaker 3>And then I'm on the elevator going up to my apartment.

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 3>Doors open on the second floor, and there he is.

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:43.119
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:45.319
<v Speaker 1>I feel like maybe he just got out of breath.

0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 3>No, he thought, why would you ever do that?

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Yeah, y'all have on the same floor we do.

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 3>I crossed the hall. Yes, it's maybe I don't know.

0:01:58.120 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he thought he was going to miss the elevators.

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:01.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he was trying to avoid you.

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 3>Why wouldn't you just get on the first.

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Floor then because he was leaving right, Yeah, so you

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>were already in his ship.

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 3>No, I was waiting at the elevator.

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 4>Maybe he didn't realize it and tell the door shut.

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 3>Y'all are giving him the benefit of the dot.

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 4>But it is random if there's not a reason.

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 1>I get. I get why you feel that way.

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:24.200
<v Speaker 2>I I sometimes see, like you ever know us when

0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:27.320
<v Speaker 2>we have salespeople that come from the other direction to

0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 2>go to the bathroom.

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Not going out the door that we go to.

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 4>That is so obvious to me.

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 2>And when I see them, you know, like or you'll

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 2>hear them kind of making noise.

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I'm going to stand right here. I feel

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 1>like a cop in a TV show.

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm standing like next to the wall like this as

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.040
<v Speaker 2>as possible because they don't want to actually like have

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 2>to have a conversation. So I'm like, oh God, Matt's

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 2>there to sit there and talk to them that I'm

0:02:58.080 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 2>gonna wait for him to go in there. You ever

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 2>have that though, like where you a little bit? So

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 2>maybe that could have been it.

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:04.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think it was.

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:07.639
<v Speaker 1>So he got on the elevator though, Yeah, And.

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.400
<v Speaker 3>Then because awkwardly, I was like, what are you doing,

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 3>and it's like I forgot something.

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:15.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I used to avoid a neighbor like this

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 2>guy was avoiding you. And my avoiding of the neighbor

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 2>was I would come home, pull into my garage and

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:27.080
<v Speaker 2>immediately close the garage because I didn't want to get

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 2>out of the car with the garage door open, because

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 2>I would know that he would actually start talking to me,

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 2>so I would so I would get in there really fast,

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 2>like I was going into the back cave, and I

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>would have that thing close right away so that I

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.800
<v Speaker 2>didn't have to have a conversation at all with him.

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 3>Poor guy.

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 2>No, not a poor guy, very long talking guy. Yeah,

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 2>I'd be be like NonStop conversation and stuff like that.

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>I think we always is. I've faked phone calls before.

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, I.

0:03:59.040 --> 0:03:59.960

<v Speaker 2>Eight four four Mojo Live eight four four sixty sixty

0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 2>four or it was the number six sixty five six

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 2>five four eight eight four four six sixty five six

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 2>five four eight. Hi, Kate, what's going on?

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 3>Do you think he has a side piece on the

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:13.680
<v Speaker 3>second floor.

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Hmmm?

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 3>I No, I don't think so, because I've seen him

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 3>and his partner. He is gay.

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh, how do we get there? Yeah, he's the gay.

0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.720
<v Speaker 3>Maybe he was stopping by the second floor to see someone.

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, maybe, No, I don't think so.

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever avoided anybody, Kate, or tried to avoid somebody?

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.480
<v Speaker 1>No? No, really?

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 2>Then you know what if you haven't, they've been avoiding you. Yeah.

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.040
<v Speaker 6>The worst is when you're trying to avoid somebody that

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.200
<v Speaker 6>you see in like a grocery store. Oh, because I

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 6>feel like you can duck. Yes, you can duck an

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 6>aisle or two, But then the whole rest of the

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.719
<v Speaker 6>time you're like kind of anxious running about turning a

0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.159
<v Speaker 6>corner and running into them. I always feel like that

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 6>happens all time. I'm like, I just I look terrible.

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 6>I don't feel like talking.

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 2>In that case, I always feel like women in grocery

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 2>store sometimes feel like I'm stalking them because we end

0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 2>up meeting up at the same place.

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:11.720
<v Speaker 4>It fails.

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 2>I feel like awkward about that. What's up, Sam? How

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 2>you doing?

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:16.800
<v Speaker 4>Hi?

0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 5>How are you good?

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Sam? What's going on?

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:20.160
<v Speaker 6>So?

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.159
<v Speaker 5>I don't think he was trying to avoid her. I

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 5>think maybe he was trying not to be creepy because

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.240
<v Speaker 5>she was walking in he was walking out, So he

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 5>was like, Oh, she walked in, and maybe she's going

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.240
<v Speaker 5>to think he's following her.

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 3>That makes me feel better.

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.720
<v Speaker 2>I also, Sam, I don't like getting in an elevator

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:40.360
<v Speaker 2>with a with a woman if it's just the two

0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 2>of us, because I feel like I don't want her

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 2>to feel I don't find her to feel like I am,

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, scary, scary or something like that.

0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 1>You can't even get on the elevator come on.

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes Sometimes honestly, if the woman gets in and she's

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 2>by herself and it's you know, in a long elevator.

0:05:57.960 --> 0:05:58.839
<v Speaker 4>Ride, you're not kidding.

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:00.599
<v Speaker 1>I'll wait for the next el her. I was.

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 2>So, I was over in Rochester at the hospital over

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.400
<v Speaker 2>there by Oakland U and I had to go up

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 2>in the elevator and a woman got in, and I'm like,

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I'm gonna wait for the next elevator.

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:15.640
<v Speaker 2>I just don't want to get in there and have

0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 2>her feel like I am invading her space.

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 4>She'll be Okay, exactly, you're overthinking, and that's.

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:24.160
<v Speaker 5>What I was thinking.

0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:24.359
<v Speaker 1>Like.

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.720
<v Speaker 5>She just he just didn't want to make it feel

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 5>like that, because he turned around and came back in

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.320
<v Speaker 5>when she was going towards the elevator, so I would

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.159
<v Speaker 5>take it as a.

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 3>You know, I'm glad.

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Sam, I appreciate it. No problem, take care

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.600
<v Speaker 2>of yourself. I like the theories that listeners have. Leah,

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:45.720
<v Speaker 2>what do you think he was doing.

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I think he was personally, I don't know, maybe buying

0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:56.680
<v Speaker 1>some drugs or something, you know what, I think so too.

0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:01.279
<v Speaker 2>I agree that in that case, I want to ride

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:02.479
<v Speaker 2>the elevator with that person.

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.160
<v Speaker 1>You didn't want me to see you. Yeah, he didn't

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 1>want you to be suspicious of him. You know that's right. Well,

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 1>thank you for the call, Thanks for the theories.
