If you’ve ever been to Ibiza you’ll know it’s neigh on impossible to take more than two steps outside your hotel door without having a PR thrust their drink offers in your face. Here at Ibiza Club News we’ve definitely got nothing against PR’s and realise that they’re just trying to earn a crust and have the summer of their dreams in Ibiza, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that they can be annoying so we’ve decided to put together the ten best ways to avoid PRs without being rude or obnoxious to them…

1 – Pretend You’re On Your Phone

This little doozie is guaranteed to have you sail straight past the PRs. If they don’t think they can get your attention they won’t bother you. Also works with street charity fundraisers and your boyfriend /girlfriend.

2 – Have A Fake Sign Language Conversation With Your Mate

It’s a well known fact that under 1% of PR workers in Ibiza are fluent in sign language so, unless you’re really unlucky, if they see you coming fully submerged in a full blown sign conversation they’ll definitely let you keep walking.

3 – Pretend To Carry Very Heavy Boxes

The bigger the box the better. Obviously carry an empty box and try make it look like it’s back-breakingly heavy. People who carry boxes generally have somewhere they need to be in a hurry. The PRs will pick up on this and give you a one off pass.

4 – Pour A Bottle Of Water Over Your Crotch

This one is definitely for the more thick skinned clubber. Pour a bottle of water over your crotch right before you leave your apartment and all the PRs will think you’ve pissed yourself. Nobody wants a piss covered stink pot in their club so they’ll be sure to let you keep walking. The beauty of Ibiza is that it’s always warm so by the time you’ve arrived at where ever it is you’re going your crotch will have completely dried out.

5 – Talk To Yourself Angrily

Walking up a street angrily shouting at yourself is always guaranteed to make people give you a wide berth. Nobody wants a raving lunatic scaring other punters away from their bar so this tactic is guaranteed to make your jaunt down the West End completely PR free.

6 – Carry An Open Bottle Of Spirits

Nothing says ‘leave me the fuck alone” like a lone wolf walking along a lovely sunny beach road casually slugging whiskey straight from the bottle. Add your angriest face into the equation and you’re sure to be given the freedom of the town by all of the PRs.

7 – Sprint!

Here’s one for all of you fitness fanatics. Get your lycra on, take your marks, get set, go! Simply put your head down and sprint from a to b. It won’t stop PRs trying to PR you but you’ll definitely be quicker than they are so by the time they’ve tried you’ll be long gone.

8 – Pretend To Be A PR

The most meta way to avoid a PR is by walking beside people and pretending to be a PR. Look out for winks and nods from other PRs, as this will indicate that not only have you managed to avoid their advances but you’ve also won their respect.

9 – Fake A Life Threatening Injury

This is by far the hardest bluff to pull off but it is 100% the most effective. You’ll need a lot of fake blood to make this work but if you can fool a PR into thinking you’re bleeding to death there’s no chance they’ll want you in their bar.
