    For attention or to display the emotion others think they should be displaying. i.e. After a death or divorce.

    STOP, GRAMMAR TIME!


    Only use they're if you can substitute it with they are.  
      • They're not leaving on Saturday.
      • (Test: "They are not leaving on Saturday.")
        • I cannot believe they're here.
        • (Test: "I cannot believe they are here.")


          More than 20 people left they're coats here.  
        (Test: "More than 20 people left 
    they are coats here." This is nonsense. Therefore, they're is wrong.)

    To avoid Human contact because they have work to do - simple.  No one wants to be around a depressed person, nor do thewant to interact with one
