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.
