Right. Tottering down to the station this morning I saw a woman getting out of her car just ahead of me. She locked the car and began walking next to me cos I arrived at the same time. I thought this felt stoopid and slowed down a bit, so did she, evidently thinking the same thing. So I speeded up just as she did the same. It felt idiotic and it was clear neither of us wanted to be associated with the other noooo:
So I crossed the road andheaded off down a side street. I got back on course and as I was walking past a shop she came out of it and we ended up side by side AGAIN.
We sort of glared at one another and I said "I am heading for the station", and she said "So am I!"
We got into different carriages

Very cinematic.
Awaiting Chapter #2. I always find the merry little dance strange as you walk toward someone and you both start avoiding left, avoiding right, ooops correction, and then nearly bump rubschin:

I hate that one too. Why do you always dodge them to find they have dodged towards you. rubschin:
I forgot to say that this blasted wumman got off at the same station as me.

Yes, I thought that.
Funny how self-delusion works isn't it?

I try to avoid situations such as Nick describes, mainly because I don't like people very much.

Since when did this 'incident' get upgraded to become a 'conflict' eeek:

I was thinking of Growler's late night delivery man

He is "sexing it up" as they say .............. we may have to hold an enquiry when it's all over.

Absolutely not. They all turn and run as soon as they see me.
