I hate that. It's nearly as bad as when somebody waves in your general direction and you acknowledge the wave, or even worse wave back, only to find out they were doing it to a person behind you.snowplow said:When someone says hello/tries to talk to me, and I have no idea who that person is. Its even worse when supposedly you had a conversation with that person before.
The single most spine crawlingly awkward situation I've been in was when counselling a friend who desperately wanted to dump his girl, and I think my exact words to him were "Look you've just got to get on with it and dump her if you're really not happy!".... as she walked out of the door behind me.
