Question Hobbying Close to Home?

[PatrickLalime]

Wondering what ya'll think of lobbying close to home? There's a few great spas near where I live, but I'm always worried about heading in and parking, worried someone will see me or my car and put 2 and 2 together. Do you have a radius that you leave in order to hobby? BTW - probably matters more for attached guys.

I try to stay one major intersection away. But you can still run into neighbors and relatives so it's best to keep your eyes open and your car not parked directly in front of the establishment you are visiting

My absolute fav works at the closest semi legit to my house. I personally don't give a flying fuck. But, I do take a look around before I exit my vehicle....

wait...so maybe I actually do give a fuck. But it ain't stopping me.

If you're paranoid or worried about your image, then the advice would be don't shit where you eat, if you don't care what your neighbors think then by all means have at it, no radius

I Uber to the spa, harder to be recognized

Park down a different street or in a back alley and walk, most places have more discreet parking behind the building

Don’t hobby near home or work. Generally speaking, your hobbying should be at least a 15 minute drive away from either unless the spa has discrete parking and entrance. Pure is a good example as they have parking in the back and it’s in an industrial area so little chance of someone you know seeing you.

All that being said, I don’t live in RH/Markham. The sheer volume of spas there might mean you have to break the rules. You can park near a restaurant but duck into a spa.

Totally bored and looking for a home-based suggestion and come across this older thread to respond.

I think the worries are most from when you are walking out spa, or down the stairs from a building. Whoever you bump into, they know exactly where you are coming out from.

I am less worried about people seeing my car within the vicinity, but extra caution never hurts, so park a good distance away. I don't any decorative stuff in or on my car that can be easily identifiable. My car is dime in a dozen, and unless someone memorize the plate, they won't know.

When you enter, you always check out your surrounding before entering. If you bump into a friend at the destination, there is nothing to worry about and you just know someone has the same taste and needs as you.

If you worry too much, you should just quit. There is nothing you can do to avoid if the invisible hands are working against you... Even you are 100, 500 or 1000km away from your own neighbourhood.
