How to Survive a Dalek Attack

You're walking through the city minding your own business, as suddenly a man-sized pepper shaker shouting "Exterminate!" appears. Here is how you might not die.

1. Panic! It's virtually impossible to reason with a Dalek. You should've started running minutes ago.
2. While running, look what the Dalek is doing. If the Dalek found other targets to exterminate: good (but continue running away). If not: run faster. And faster.
3. You're probably faster than the Dalek. If you've survived this far, chances are good that you'll survive after all. But beware: where there is one Dalek, there are probably more. So mind your surrounding.
4. If you're armed: forget it. The Dalek's force field will deflect all incoming fire.
5. If you find yourself in a dead end: if you're still armed, start shooting - it can't really hurt, can it? Concentrate your fire on the eyestalk, maybe you get lucky (but don't count on it). If you're not armed: wave at an imaginary figure behind the Dalek and say "Hello Doctor!" While this might distract the Dalek, it will probably just make it more angry.

Tips
* Don't give up.
* Don't leave your house before you've drafted your will
* If possible, don't leave the house at all.

Warnings
* Even if the TARDIS appears next to you, your fate is probably sealed. Don't get your hopes up.
* It might seem like a good idea to climb the nearest stairs. That is not the case. While a Dalek could levitate upwards, always remember: Real Daleks don't climb stairs; they level the building
