I don't know about you, o' faithful solitary reader of one, but whenever i bump into people i have certain "precepts" that i respect ... *i know, i know ... 'tis all very "petit"*

Rule N°1 : You're/they're a hot ex flame

- A quick tongue job is perfectly and wholly acceptable/understandable in any circumstance .. end of story

Rule N°2 : Colleagues/clients that you know slightly

- A very brief ''Hey, how're you?!'' accompanied with a slight inclination of the head, a smile, a wink and some form of hand wave or hand jive will suffice in any circumstance ... do not, under any condition, stop to make pitiful small talk

Rule N° 3 : Someone that you've not seen for a while, but who emits pleasurable overtones at bumping into you

- A manly handshake and a quick 'mwouah' is highly acceptable, or even encouraged ...make as much small talk as you wish .. invite them out to dinner (you may even go so far as making an indecent proposal to their partner if you wish to do so)

Rule N° 4 : You know that the last person on earth someone wishes to bump into is YOU of all people

- You've seen 'them' and they've not seen you. In this tricky situation, you should slink across the street and make yourself invisble.- Do not open your mouth. Do not say a word and above all, do not try to appear, as if by magic, and ingratiate yourself into what may turn out to be highly personal conversation

I think we all know a BoyIdiot who doesn't know rule N°4
