Smooth moves

Yesterday I had to go to the pharmacy for one of those "female products". It is in the same aisle as the condoms.

I get to the aisle and make a turn. The store is almost empty. There's a man looking at the condom section. Seems like he's trying to make a selection. And...he's a guy from work.

I don't really want to buy my product in front of this guy. I know him, but barely. I don't even know his name. So, like in a sitcom, I look at other things. He has spotted me too, and we then did an amazing job of each turning and walking away like we hadn't seen each other, though we both knew we had. Our choreography was spot on. Creeping with the Stars.

Safely ensconced in another aisle, I was picking out something else non-embarrassing, when he came around the corner, and said "Hey, do you live around here?" We then had a brief chat about where we live.

Why is this embarrassing? At least it was for both of us, and not just me.

I'd like to see the security cam footage of both of you turning discreetly into a less embarassing aisle ballet
