Yeah my 8 yo daughter does that all the time. Some of the stuff she makes up just to fit a conversation with her friends really puzzles me.

I really hate that. Like if I'm waiting at a t-intersection for someone and they turn the corner without indicating so I waited for nothing. Especially frustrating when it wastes a break in traffic so you're sitting there another 5 minutes.

What about when you hold a door open for someone and there is a rush of people exiting but no-one else moves to hold the door for those coming behind them so you either stand there like an idiot holding the door for everyone or let the door close on someone which looks bad when you held it for all those who came before them. Stupid social quandaries.
