👉 Waylaying is a behavior in which someone deliberately or unintentionally avoids or skips over another person, object, or situation. It involves not acknowledging or responding to the presence of others around them, often due to a sense of superiority or self-righteousness. Waylaying can be seen as an act of disrespect, particularly when it's done with malicious intent or in a way that is perceived as disrespectful.
