What Oside said.


Now, just because I can, and she threatened to punch anyone who said it in the throat....

That's a lot of bike


<<<<figures when her and her guy show up to do the throat punching, they will settle for a couple of beers and steaks.

It's going to happen every so often surely.

You only notice the coincidence because it doesn't happen that often, but if you think of all the people you have randomly met over the years, it would be strange if you didn't "bump" into one or two of them occasionally.

Same rules as any non-continuous friend or acquaintance contacting you or vice-versa. There's only something wrong with it if it becomes a bit stalkery. Someone saying hi, being respectful then reading the cues in how you respond more or less correctly isn't any more of a problem than any other random communication.

I get why it might seem a bit creepy, especially if you think it might be people you want to actively avoid.

I can think of a few people I would rather not contact me, but on the other hand my curiosity would probably trump any sense of suspicion I might have.
