I was thinking about this the other day at work and wanted to see if anyone else experienced this urge. I heard my boss coming down the hall towards my office and wondered what my chances were of dodge rolling to the adjacent kitchen without being noticed.

I’m sure this could applied to more heroic situations than just wanting to avoid an awkward conversation with upper management. Maybe dodge rolling away from the wife when she notices a “gentlemen’s club” on the credit card statement?

You can’t dodge roll away from the wife, you’ll run out of endurance long before she does and she has CC.

Dodge Roll when the person you are talking to starts telling you about this foolproof way to make some money but they need an initial investment.

Dodge Roll when that Starbucks barista with the long blonde hair and nice figure turns out to be a dude.

Dodge Roll when you get caught eating cookies that were baked for someone else.

Wish I had thought of this earlier in the month when my daughter approached me for Bieber tickets. I would’ve dodge rolled into traffic to avoid that concert.

I wanted to dodge roll out of my office when my boss caught me typing on guild wars 2 forums.

This screams out for a youtube video contest. Just be careful not to get injured, people. =D

I think my dodge rolling days are probably over. I’d pull a hammy on my first attempt and be cc’d in place for a week.

I saw a spider approach me on my desk, instant dodge roll backwards out of my chair to void the venomous bite.

I wanted Dodge Roll forwards to get past the crowded aisle and into the speedy cashier’s line ahead of the old lady with a fully loaded-down cart on my lunch break.

I wanted to Dodge Roll away from a boring talk with a customer, and hoped Deceptive Evasion created a clone to be my stand in.

I would definitely Dodge Roll w/ Deceptive Evasion in my car while speeding, so the cop would go after the Clone instead.

I would also offensively Dodge Roll w/ Deceptive Evasion in my car to send a suicidal clone car on a Revenge Mission against the idiot driver that cut me off/did something stupid/nearly caused me to crash.

Dodge Roll away from my station at work and leave behind a clone? Sheer utter genius way to get a break/drink without anyone complaining.

Also wanted Blink and Portal from the Mesmer as well. Need a drink, make a Portal Entre, Blink myself and my chair to the fridge, grab one, then make a Portal Exit and skip back to my PC.

Dodge Roll when that Starbucks barista with the long blonde hair and nice figure turns out to be a dude.

Would never bee a reason for me to dodge roll.

I have a policy about being anywhere in which fools will stand in line complaining about gas prices while waiting to buy coffee that is $56 a gallon

But I do like to dodge roll into my pool.

Nope. Not enough. The only thing that can save you there is logging out and claiming linkdeath later on . . .

I’ve had a few staff meetings where if I could have just Dodge-rolled under the projection screen I could have made it out the door opposite where I was sitting…

Personally, I might just go for a cinnamon roll, instead, though… yummy cream cheese frosting melting on top?…. = )P

What are you talking about? Rolling is a heck of a lot easier when you’re round.

It’s the crushed Cheetos and Mt. Dew cans on the carpet that really make it difficult…

I work in a call center. Answering a call and hear this right after I say hello: “GET ME YOUR KITTENING SUPERVISOR”

Dodge roll.

I think all call center jobs should come with a free supply of endurance regeneration boosters.

Hmm, I work in retail.

I don’t know who would laugh harder…the customers seeing a salesperson dodge rolling to avoid an awkward situation, or my chiropractor when I explain to him how I sprained my back.
