I walked into the bank today and waited for a teller to call me over. There was one other customer there.
I handed my teller the deposits and walked to the counter to grab a lollipop. As I turned back, out of the corner of my eye, I thought I recognized the woman. When I heard her voice, I knew who it was. Someone from high school. Someone who was on the cheerleading squad with me. Someone who I’d call an acquaintance, or someone that I used to know.
Hmmm….do I just kept my head turned and sneak out after my transactions are done? Or do I find my friendly face and say hello? What to do what to do!
I turned toward her and said, “I’d know that laugh anywhere!”. We shared a hug, had a small conversation, I collected my receipts, and left with a breezy, “It was nice to see you!”.
It would have been so easy to just ignore her, and go on my way. I feel a smidge better that I didn’t.
Good for you. I’m always horrible at that and make it more awkward! Ha ha, good for you!

Right! Though I will never hesitate to skip an aisle in the grocery store if I spy someone I don’t want to say hi to! 😂

I saw someone today that used to wash the windows of our business. He was washing the windows of a whole plaza. I kind of remember he was in school for something but hey, if he makes a good living…I am good with that. He did a great job. I didn’t say hi to him as he was more of my husband’s friend than mine.
