Although I am a retired teacher, father and husband quite comfortable being ignored by all kinds of people.

We think alike. When I was in the military, I invented the two hats and two sets of keys gambit. I kept a spare cap and a set of keys that I had no idea what they fit in my desk drawer. I could boogie off to who knows where and leave the decoys on my desk. Here's how it worked.
The Colonel: Where's Chief?
Sgt So and So: He must be in the building, Sir. His hat and keys are here.
Colonel: Well, have him give me a call when he gets time.
I was working on the perpetually steaming coffee cup when I retired.
As for the hearing aid trick, I use that on telemarketers. I talk real loud and tell them I am going to get my hearing aid. Then I just go back to what I was doing until they get tired of waiting and hang up. Hopefully, this puts me on a "Waste of Time" list.
