I hate it when you bump into someone from school at the shops or something, whether it be during the weekend or holiday. If it's somebody that you're close with, then it's fine because you can just stop and have a normal, not awkward conversation; a quick catch up. If it's a mere acquaintance, that too is fine. Why? Because all you have to do is smile or give them a simple "hi". You don't need to stop and make awkward conversation. What makes it an awkward situation is when you bump into someone that's more than an stranger to you but not a close friend and you have no idea what to talk about. The conversation just goes a little like this:
A: Hey!
B: Hi! How's it going?
A: Great, what are you doing here?
B: Just hanging out with the family..
A: Ohh....
B: Yeah....
A: ......
B: ......
A: ......
B: Well, I should probably get going now ...
A: Oh okay, bye!
But then again, maybe it's just my sheer inability to hold a conversation. *awkward*
