Reading the thread about the guy in Fife that was followed home and killed on his front porch was interesting. Mostly because a couple members (@Jonnyuma @The Heretic @User 1234 to name a few) had some good paranoia advice. I thought I'd start a thread and maybe we might learn from each other on some of the things we do as @Jonnyuma put it "employing rudimentary counter-surveillance and evasion techniques in everyday situations" .
I've seen a few other techniques here and there. Hopefully this isn't something that's already been covered and if so, please delete or merge.

A couple I hijacked from the Fife man thread:
- Pay attention to who's behind you and take extra turns and a varying route when driving home. I do this a lot. My wife gives me chit once in a while because she thinks I look out the rear view more than ahead.
- Stopping to look in store windows when there's nothing of interest inside. (I'm gonna use this one)
- Taking note of people's shoes.
- Avoiding light-to-dark transitions.
- Don't fixate on attractive women's arses.
- Locking the doors to my vehicle immediately upon entering it.
- I generally appendix carry so as soon as I get in the vehicle, I remove my firearm and attach it to a magnet I have in arms reach. Trying to draw while seated is difficult.
- When parking the vehicle, I scan out all the windows and mirrors before I unlock doors to get out no matter if at home or in a parking lot.
- Backing into my driveway.
- One of my wife's tricks while walking is to stop and adjust her shoe when someone behind is a little too close for comfort to let them pass.
- When approaching a business, look around at the vehicles outside for anyone sitting in the "getaway car" and also take a gander into the glass storefront or glass door before so you don't walk in on a robbery in progress and become collateral damage.
