One of the most awkard situations to be in, in my experience, is when you see someone you know while you're walking in to a grocery store. I'm not talking about a really good friend. I'm talking about an acquaintance who you don't know very well, but know well enough to make small talk with. So here's the scenario. You walk in to the grocery store and see the person. You then begin to make small talk with that person for 3-5 minutes before finally saying those fateful words, "See you later". But in the back of your mind, you know that you will spend the remainder of your time in the store trying to make sure you don't see that person later. You will literally spend the rest of your time in the store trying to avoid that person. You won't even bother buying the items you came to the store for. You'll just walk around the store, pulling things off the shelf to buy while making sure you don't run into that person again. Why? Because you've already said goodbye. That's why.
