blisterfeld 

The situation in which when one is walking and nearly collides with another person, then each awkwardly shuffles from side to side in an attempt to pass the other, but they each take a step to the same side, and therefore block one another once again. This one step to the side is usually followed up by another step to the other side, by both people. One typically then relinquishes walking space to the other, so that they may continue on their way.
I was walking down the street, when I had a blisterfeld with this other guy. It took us a couple of seconds to get past each other.

blisterfeld 

That one awkward moment where you're trying to get past someone and you both move the same way.
The only way to resolve a blisterfeld is a fight to the death. Or a dance-off.

I got into a blisterfeld with this guy at the mall this morning.

I ran into this woman the other day when we both tried to walk around each other but went the same direction. What a blisterfeld!
