'Yes!' to pretty much every single one that is applicable to me. :)

I didn't know 'browsing baskets' were a thing, know where they can be found?

I have no idea what store uses those baskets - but I wouldn't mind wearing shirt when I go out that says "If I need anything, I will ask. I promise. You don't need to tell me about the sales."

I never check my personal voicemail. Ever. I just wait until I feel like talking on the phone, and then if the person that needed to get in touch with me happens to call me when I am in the mood to talk - I will answer their call. Otherwise, don't get your hopes up on getting me on the phone. Or answering the door for that matter.

I bought this shirt a while back:

Unfortunately, it had the ironic effect of people thinking it was funny and wanting to talk to me about it, so I don't wear it much anymore.

I agree with the nitpicking, it is "asocial" not "anti-social".

And yes it was funny :)

I was going to suggest one that says "no hugs please", but then people would probably hug you just for the heck of it lol.

I have done a lot of these. I always go to the movies and have been known to read newspapers in bars.
