Q 你说 "生活就是不容易呀,太多小人了!"??
A 恩,你不觉得嘛,我觉得我太单纯了。现在我又个观点惹不起我还躲不起吗?

中国是个惹不起的国家!
女人是惹不起的啦!
谁都惹不起!

只要有亲人好友还在国内,对这个机构就是既惹不起也躲不起。

我惹不起,我還躲不起嗎?

如果发觉某人不是个善茬 惹不起还躲不起吗?

我和老公只想赶紧摆脱他们,惹不起,还躲不起吗!

Editor: Richard, great work on providing so much context.

Fore reference, we have MOE's『不敢挑釁或對抗』. An example I saw would be “我们副局长都惹不起他,你让我们怎么管!” ("Our vice bureau chief won't even dare do anything to provoke him. How would you have us deal with it then!?")

Or there's also MOE's example: 「他的個性火爆,誰都惹不起他。」

I would even so so far as to say that "惹不起,(還)躲不起" is a phrase worthy of adding to CEDICT. Maybe meaning "insufferable but unavoidable".
