17. When you get slightly recognised but someone you know that is squinting to see you from a good distance away...whilst you're wearing sunglasses and have a completely different hairstyle!!!, don't bother trying to continue with your false I.D/character that you've gone to a lot of trouble to create, just be all shifty, arrogant and start waving and shooting...therefore meaning that you could have done the exact same thing going around as your actual self for all this time and saved yourself a lot of time, trouble and effort.
