So you meet a provider or hobbyist in public what is the right protocol?

This is my other part of my life I enjoy, so why are you bothering me in public.

There are too many variables but regardless of who winked first just keep it at that and move on. Common sense is important but nobody’s going to notice or give a shit that two [seemingly normal] people just winked, cracked smiles, or raised eye brows at each other...

Walking in opposite directions, there was maybe a half second of eye locking, acknowledging smiles, and kept on forward in our respective directions.

Nobody else in the world noticed or gave a shit.

Some of you act like there’s this global surveillance crew that studies eye movement of everybody on the planet, breaks down what we’re looking at every second, and then determine that we are up to no good or we looking at something or somebody that we shouldn’t be, and are going to send some kind a SWAT team to get us. If you live with that kind of paranoia, well, it sucks to be you. I like making eye contact with people and acknowledging their existence as a human with a smile or whatever, even in just a passing kind of way.

I walked by one in a restaurant once. I was with my wife and kids. Never had direct eye contact with her, so don’t know if she saw me/recognized me or not. I only saw her once and have no desire to see her again.

Thank you. Maybe i should have elaborated more. Ignore wasn’t an option. I walked into the office and she had to service me. Pardon the pun. The wink was from the both of us we subtle as i recall. Regardless the option to ignore wasnt an option and it would have been akward if i would have requested someone different or if she said she has to get somebody else.

So how would you have handled that ? Originally Posted by BeiberX

2. Treat her as any other COMPLETE STRANGER you come in contact with in public. Be polite. Don't get fresh.
