When you see someone you barely know but bump into regularly (neighbor, colleague from another department, milkman etc.) walking towards you on the street and you both stare at each other while approaching, and you have to decide when to say 'hello' to avoid looking either awkward (shouting it from too far away) or rude (saying it too late or not saying at all). The aim is that you still have to greet them first.
