TIFU by confidently waving back at someone who was not waving at me… and then committing to it way too hard
This didn’t happen today but I’m still recovering mentally.
I was walking into a store and saw someone smiling and waving directly at me from across the parking lot. I had my headphones in, felt kinda main-character for a second, and immediately waved back… like a full, enthusiastic wave.
They kept walking.
Still smiling.
Still waving.
So now I’m thinking “oh they must really know me” and I DOUBLE DOWN. I point at myself like “me??” and do that awkward half-laugh wave combo.
That’s when I noticed the person behind me.
They walk past me, straight to the waver, and they hug.
I’m still mid-wave.
We make eye contact.
All three of us.
And instead of stopping like a normal person, my brain decided the best option was to just… keep walking while slowly lowering my hand like nothing happened.
I have never felt my soul leave my body that fast.
tl;dr: waved back at someone who wasn’t waving at me, escalated it into a full interaction, and accidentally became a background character in someone else’s reunion scene
