For the record. Cell phones are evil. (But I think I want one)
He walked the isles of Best Buy, painfully fashionable and aloof. I wasn’t the first to wave, and I’m not sure if he responded to the greeting by my partner in all things geek, but I heard “You going to say hi to him?” floating above my oblivious head. I looked at the end of the isle. He was too busy staring at the endcap to notice me. Strange. I called him friend once. Now we are just strangers that know each other’s names. So, in accordance with such a relationship (or lack there of), he did not feel it necessary to hang up, or even pull the phone from his face to greet me. He continued chatting and I planted an insincere kiss upon his upturned cheek. Guess I was allowed to be acknowledged that much, but nothing more.
It struck me as achingly rude. And I reexamined the nonexistant relations we have. Well, all things change. I thought an interest would be shared, being that we are both in relationships and have interesting things going on. But I have been relegated to the past, and I guess he has too. I’ll be damned if I don’t deserve a sincere hello, or at least, hang up the fucking phone.

Pottymouth!
Seeing a ‘one-time-friend’ is almost as creepy as seeing an ex. Some people lack the maturity or people skills to be an adult and actually address a human who they once had a connection with. They hide behind cell phones and responsibilities, etc.
You should’ve just yelled out, as loud as possible: “he grabbed my boooob!”

OH My…that has to be the funniest thing I read all week!
The whole incident was a little thorn in my side until I examined the vacant place where that relationship once stood. Not much of a loss at this point, but irritating none the less.
