clostropathos

In a small hallway, when you walk one way, and someone else is walking in other direction, and you both get an awkward feeling where neither of you knows which way to go, and you both make small attempts to go one way or the other before you meet, only to have the other person unintentionally make the same mistake at the same time.

I almost bumped into So-and-So in the hall. It was a clostropathos inducing experience.
