Clever Observations #367

When you're out walking and pair of people passes you, notice how their conversation lags as they pass you. It will hold on filler words and then is expertly timed to resume once you are out of earshot.

This little trick might be exposed by walking backwards as they pass you. They won't be able start talking again, but as long as you can't be accused of following them, they won't be able to confront you. An awkward silence will result and you will wonder what in the world you are doing.
