Don't you just hate it, when you run into people you really don't want to talk to? Had that unfortunate experience today.
It's awkward I tell you, and you're thinking to yourself, "how do I get out of this without looking like a total ass?"
I managed to handle myself well though surprisingly. Talked a few minutes, made a convincing excuse to leave and got away. Nothing personal to them, I just don't like engaging in small talk unless they're family or close friends.
