Salutation Misunderstandings

Salutation Misunderstandings are Amis for everyone involved. Here is a classic example. You're walking in a particular direction, and someone walking towards you is assuredly waving at you. Yes, they've got to be looking right at you. After jogging your brain, you realize this person is a stranger but, being nice, you decide to save that person from awkwardness and wave back. It's normally during mid-wave that you hear a voice behind you say something like, "Oh, hey!" You try to hide your wave, but it's too late. The stranger is now making awkward eye contact with you because you suddenly popped into existence after previously being unseen...all because you waved back. Now you're uncomfortable, they're uncomforable, and the third party is probably laughing at you. Amis.

Mulch Bombs

This one is way overdue. And you have to have been to Alpine to get this one...so it doesn't really apply to anyone. But because it is Amis, it must be on the blog. So, mulch bombs....every year at Alpine kids get to throw water balloons at the staff off the zipline. Staff sit(on the mulched ground in chairs) under the zipline while the kid comes flying down with a water balloon in hand like he just won seven hundred million dollars. It sounds pretty awesome, and it is for the most part, until you are annihilated by a mulch bomb. The worst part is when kids(usually the ones that have no gauge on when to drop it) accidentally drop the water balloon to early and it hits the ground in front of you. This is actually the worst case scenario for the staff. The water balloon sends wet mulch flying anywhere and everywhere, most likely all over your hairy legs. Oh, and the kid is mad he didn't get a direct hit on you. So, in the end, the kid is mad for missing, and you're mad for getting mulch bombed. Case in point. AMIS.
